Manufacturing of prototype parts
focus
Special gear prototypes by 5-axis combined machining! Solve any problem in gear prototype production!
Overview
We are a skilled manufacturer of prototype parts specialized in precision cutting.Our specialties include high precision machining of thin-walled, fine, and complex parts and manufacturing of special gears by 5-axis combined machining. We guarantee the precision and superior workmanship by putting the highest priority on precision.
Characteristic technologies
1. Special gear prototypes
We manufacture gear prototypes with special tooth forms such as a laterally shifted gear tooth and a full-depth gear tooth without the need for specialized tools, and promise quick delivery of prototypes. We can manufacture any gear prototypes including a helical internal gear and a face gear.We can also handle integral machining of a plastic composite gear.
2. 5-axis combined machining
Various parts, which require a combined turning-milling process, are machined by one-chuck-and-multi-face processing.The 5-axis multitasking machine enables multi-functional machining, such as continuous profiling of a cylindrical surface and a spherical surface, and undercut machining.
・Field in Industry
We have been offering services to automobile and printer-related industries where high precision is demanded.We have especially received good evaluations in quick delivery of special gear prototypes, production of which had conventionally been difficult, and prototype services such as of a thin-walled insulator.
