Urethane Parts for Fluid Control Equipment In urethane parts used for fluid control, if air remains inside, it can be discovered as bubbles or defects after machining, leading to defects. In this case, by changing the manufacturing method from conventional casting to press molding, we reduced the air inside the urethane. This helped suppress defects caused by internal flaws that were previously discovered after machining, resulting in improved yield and reduced manufacturing costs. We propose a review of the manufacturing process, including molding methods and machining methods, according to product shape and required specifications. With multiple molding methods available, we can address manufacturing challenges for urethane parts, such as "internal defects that cannot be identified until machining" and "poor yield."
