Reducing prototype costs for robot jigs | Case study of switching from stainless steel to iron materials
Reduced prototype costs by one-third through material changes! Improved design accuracy and manufacturing efficiency with flexible responses, successfully achieving short lead times for high-quality stainless steel jigs.
We would like to introduce a case where the manufacturing of high-precision jigs for the printed circuit board and electronic equipment industry has been streamlined, reducing prototype costs to about one-third. In the company, using stainless steel for the production of jigs for robots resulted in high material costs, leading to significant expenses with each prototype. By emphasizing the balance between cost and precision, we proposed using iron for the prototypes to keep initial costs down, allowing us to optimize cost, quality, and speed. 【Case Overview】 ■ Background: High costs and difficult stainless steel processing became a production bottleneck. ■ Solution: Use iron materials during the prototype stage and transition to full production after confirming precision. ■ Effect: Optimization of cost, quality, and speed. ■ Equipment Used: Universal Compact Machining Center (5-axis indexing) ・ Model: U500Xd1 ・ Manufacturer: Brother *For more details and other cases, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

Company information
BRICS Corporation is a company that aims to "completely solve factory challenges with technology" and provides total support closely tied to manufacturing sites. Our biggest feature is our ability to handle everything in-house, from machining, robot systems, control, installation work, to human resource development. We not only accommodate a variety of materials such as iron, aluminum, and stainless steel, but we also have a track record of high-precision processing from parts to large structures. We provide one-stop support from design assistance, material procurement, to surface treatment. In the engineering field, we support the introduction of industrial robots (design, manufacturing, installation, teaching), as well as electrical, piping, weight, and foundation work. We also take on layout changes within factories and the updating of aging equipment as a single package. We can also assist in areas such as control panel design and manufacturing, as well as training for robot operators and teaching. We propose a system that enables "continuous achievement" rather than just ending with equipment installation. By balancing "high precision × short delivery times" and "integrated support × flexibility," we have gained the trust of many manufacturers both inside and outside Shizuoka Prefecture. Even if your challenges are vague, please consult with us first. We will flexibly propose solutions tailored to your company's issues, from the conceptual stage to utilizing subsidies.
