Outstanding reliability due to its integrated design and high rigidity. It also reduces assembly labor, contributing to the mass production of space equipment! [Proven track record in space equipment adoption]
"MBF: Mono Base Frame" is a mass-produced frame that can serve as a base for various space equipment, such as ultra-small satellites (CubeSats). It is manufactured by machining aluminum blocks, achieving lightweight construction and high design flexibility. Additionally, it has no joints and high rigidity, making it adaptable to harsh environments. The reduced number of components also allows for a decrease in assembly labor. ■ Background of the Space Industry As the demand for space equipment increases, continuing with the traditional manufacturing method of handcrafting each unit leads to variations in assembly quality depending on the worker, making stable mass production difficult. With the emergence of "mega-constellations" that deploy numerous ultra-small satellites in low Earth orbit, it is essential to reconsider traditional manufacturing methods. The "MBF" promises to enable stable mass production of high-quality space equipment. ■ The application areas of MBF are expanding! - Propulsion systems incorporating thrusters and valves - Space debris mitigation devices with built-in tether deployment mechanisms - Structures for PocketQube (scheduled for launch in 2020), etc. *Reference materials can be viewed from the "PDF Download" link below.

basic information
【About Shimin Ironworks】 Our company has a design department that is well-versed in aluminum materials and precision machining, enabling us to achieve low-cost mass production with stable quality through designs compliant with CubeSat standards. This manufacturing method, which involves machining block-shaped aluminum materials, allows for flexible adjustments to the thickness and shape of each part through simple design changes, as well as the freedom to choose both shape and material. This makes it possible to create structures that are difficult to achieve with conventional split-type designs. *Reference materials can be viewed via "PDF Download."*

Company information
Our company specializes in machining ADC12 through cutting. We excel at processes that "cut out" shapes from solid metal, rather than standard hole machining or contour machining. Our equipment primarily consists of Okuma machining centers, which are highly precise and suitable for prototyping. We are currently expanding new orders, focusing on our younger staff! We also sell ADC12 sheet materials and round bars.
