[Case Study] Achieved over 20% improvement in productivity *Currently being rolled out.

Achieved a maximum of 37% reduction in processing time! Additionally, consistently realized high precision with a roundness of 0.01 on the outer circumference.

We would like to introduce a case study on solving product issues for Company A, a comprehensive engineering manufacturer. In addition to requests from customers and external environments, such as improving process capability aimed at achieving zero outflow defects and intensifying competition with overseas manufacturers, there was a demand for improving the profitability of the production line for the relevant products based on departmental profitability management within the company. To address this, we reduced the work clamping torque of the lathe processing jig, which helped suppress chucking distortion and achieve improvements and stability in shape accuracy. Previously, we guaranteed the same level of precision by lowering processing conditions and conducting careful machining. However, with the above improvements, we were able to reduce the number of machining passes and enhance processing conditions, resulting in a maximum reduction of processing time by 37% and achieving over a 20% improvement in productivity indicators.
