A method to reduce processing time! Introduction of a case proposing the production of carbide side cutters tailored to the shape of the groove.
We received an inquiry from Company F, a manufacturer of energy-related equipment (wind power), asking if we had any ideas for reducing costs and processing time during the machining of special-shaped grooves. In response, we proposed the production of a custom carbide side cutter tailored to the groove shape. As a result, tool costs were reduced to one-fifth, and processing time was cut down to one-third. Based on years of experience and knowledge, we improved the design to determine what kind of cutting edge would be less prone to breakage and how to cut at what speed, resulting in the shape shown in the photo. We were able to significantly reduce costs and delivery times by not only developing the machining method but also the tools to meet the customer's requirements. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

Three Reasons Why Imabashi Manufacturing is Chosen 1. Complex Shape Machining By uniquely utilizing 3D CAD/CAM for 5-axis machining, we excel in thin-walled machining and complex shape processing, particularly in the field of prototype development with a wide variety of small lot products. 2. Abundant Experience and Track Record Our company has extensive experience and a proven track record in prototype development using difficult-to-machine materials such as Inconel, Hastelloy, titanium, and other heat-resistant alloys. (Including automotive development, medical devices, aerospace, energy-related fields, universities, and many others) As a reference, about 70% of our production consists of small lot products of around 1 to 5 pieces, while the remaining 30% consists of lot products of around 100 to 200 pieces. Please consult us regarding lot sizes. 3. Short Lead Time Response We respond to prototype development, small to medium lots, and mass production with appropriate quality and short lead times. Depending on the material and the congestion of the production line, we can particularly respond immediately for SS, A5052, and SUS304.
