A unique prototype progressive die that achieves high-precision press processing equivalent to mass production molds.
Generally, prototype progressive press molds are less precise than mass production molds, but they can be obtained quickly and at a lower cost. However, our prototype progressive press molds are finished with a precision of 0.001mm, allowing us to manufacture them with the same ±0.01mm tolerance as mass production molds. We handle mold production in-house and have achieved the manufacturing of prototype progressive press molds with quality equivalent to mass production molds without compromising on delivery time or precision, thanks to our patented standardized mold system. This prototype progressive press mold is the area where we excel the most.

basic information
"Short Lead Time Response for Prototype Progressive Press Die Manufacturing Using a Patented Standardization System" For our customers who use thin sheet metal press-processed parts, we believe that providing high-quality samples faster than competitors is crucial for securing mass production orders. To achieve rapid sample production of prototype press-processed products, we have developed a unique standardization system for prototype progressive press dies. This patented standardization system features a mechanism that divides the die into common units and sub-units for positioning. Depending on the size, pitch, and thickness of the press-processed product, various sizes of sub-units can be selected, allowing us to produce only the necessary sub-units. This production system has significantly reduced the lead time required for die manufacturing. Compared to prototype dies from other companies, we have achieved a remarkable differentiation in terms of cost and lead time, making us highly valued by many electronic component manufacturers.

Applications/Examples of results
Support for upgrading to mass production molds (changing to intermediate mass production molds) is also available. In the current situation where production plans are unclear, manufacturing mass production molds at maximum capacity becomes a high-risk investment. Therefore, we propose an intermediate solution between prototype progressive press molds and mass production progressive press molds, which is the intermediate mass production mold. Our prototype progressive press molds can be upgraded to intermediate mass production molds depending on the quantity. We have also achieved an increase in guaranteed shot count to 4 million by changing the mold material of the prototype progressive press molds to carbide or applying coatings to the molds. Upgrading from our prototype progressive press molds to intermediate mass production molds is optimal for cumulative lot sizes of up to 3 million units. We believe that our know-how in mold manufacturing, which allows for the flexible use of press molds according to unseen production volumes, is suited to the current era, and we have received many inquiries from customers.
Company information
Nakatogawa Giken Co., Ltd. has been manufacturing progressive press molds in Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture for 35 years, and is a well-known leading prototype progressive mold manufacturer in the Tohoku region. Our company specializes in precision progressive press molds, offering high-precision molds (sales molds) with machining accuracy of ±0.001 and material thickness starting from 0.03mm. We also accommodate prototype molds with the same precision as mass production molds. We can carry out everything from mold design and manufacturing to inspection and press processing in a consistent manner. Additionally, it is a given that Nakatogawa Giken's processing technology can handle sizes as small as a grain of rice. Our ability to consistently perform such high-precision processing is the key to achieving high-precision mold component machining. Furthermore, we have a track record of producing a total of 3,000 progressive molds, and we have preserved all previous prototypes as skeleton samples. With the accumulated samples, our idea generation capabilities allow us to create various mold shapes that meet our customers' requests. At Nakatogawa Giken, we particularly excel in the design and manufacturing of prototype molds for small to medium production runs, and we also support press processing for prototypes and small to medium production. We are confident that we will not be outdone in this area of press processing.
