Activity and business content
Support
- Proposal of method and shape for satisfied function
- Product design, Mold design, Jig design
- Digitalization for trial production process
Resin flow analysis for injection molding product ← CAE soft Moldex3D
Curvature deformation measurement for injection molding product and casting ← Non-contact 3D scanner VL300
Thermography measurement when injection molding and casting ← Digital thermography FLIR-CPA-E6XT
For injection molding product, molding condition diversion when transfer from trial to mass production, and validation using equipment above. - VE proposal
Procurement
- Short delivery term trial production
3D printer forming, Casting under vacuum, Cutting (resin, metal)
Simple injection molding, Simple die casting, Sand・Plaster casting - Mold and mold parts
Injection mold, Semiconductor mold cavity, Carbide punch
- Equipment parts
Can making welded products, Cutting process products (speedy and cheaply for small quantity・large variety)
- Overseas procurement including risk management
For example, resin flow analysis for injection molding product
Support case

VE case
Fixing plate and nut
VE circumstance
- Past method
- Welding whole circumference of hexagon nut on the plate(press product)
- 1st step VA
- Stop welding the whole circumference →Welding the 3 points on the plate with necessary strength
- 2nd step VA
- Welding 3 points → Press fitting new shape nut to the plate
Effect
- Reduction for person-hour
- Being able to press-fitting with plated item
- Being able to fit to M16
Nut : machining → press work
VA circumstance
- Past method
- Production by machining
- VA
- External shape production by heading and press work + machining (only thread)
Effect
- Reduction for person-hour
- Reduction for material
Fixing lever and pin
VA circumstance
- Past method
- Welding the lever and the pin. Inserting the straight pin to the lever hole. Welding the backside.
- VA
- Press fitting the lever and the pin
- Improving the shape to the hole and the stepped pin
Effect
- Reduction for person-hour
- improving the fixing of lever and pin
- Reduction for person-hour of process maker
