Customer Issues and Needs

Example of cost reduction by changing the production method for special nuts used around engines

This is an example of cost reduction by changing the production method for special nuts used around engines.
As shown in the photo, this product has a complicated shape, and although we consulted with various manufacturers, we had no choice but to accept high-cost machining using a multi-axis multitasking machine.
However, when looking at mass production, the customer asked us if we could reduce the machining cost as much as possible.

Proposal contents and effects

Example of cost reduction by changing the production method for special nuts used around engines

We then received information from the customer on the product's required specifications and peripheral parts, identified areas where dimensions and shape were essential and areas where they were not, and proposed a shape that could be achieved by "cold forging + stamping + hole tapping".
(1) Tapped with a thread diameter of M5.
(2) Effective thread depth must be 5.5 mm.

As a result of realizing the above two points by making full use of our technology, we were able to reduce the cost by 40% or more compared to our initial expectation. Due to our production capacity superior to that of all cutting, we were able to handle the project without any problems.

Our Services

This is an example of cost reduction by changing the production method for special nuts with complicated shapes. This is a proposal for a VA case study in which we changed the shape of a product using a method in which we excel.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the conversion of production methods or shape changes, please contact us at the Cold Forging/VA/VE Center.
We can solve your problems with our cold forging die design and development capabilities and over 100 manufacturing machines, including a 9-stage parts former.
