[Case Study - 01] Manufacturing of Transportation Equipment Parts

Improvement of downtime through automated setup for multi-machine production, robotization, etc. in engineering segmentation!

We would like to introduce a case study of problem-solving using our "APS Chuck and APS Quick Jaws." Conventional hydraulic chucks have poor reproducibility after jaw replacement, leading to runout. This results in low productivity as machining of the jaws must be performed each time, causing production to halt during setup. To address this, we introduced 9 units of the APS 10-inch chuck and 20 sets of APS raw jaws. This eliminated the need for machining after jaw replacement, allowing us to standardize variations caused by setup work. [Overview] ■ Issues - High frequency of jaw replacement and machining due to diverse, low-volume production leads to low productivity. - Production halts during setup. ■ Solution - Introduced 9 units of APS 10-inch chuck and 20 sets of APS raw jaws. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
