For all those who are concerned about the quality and cost of mass-produced parts for automobiles, robots, precision equipment, etc.
This is an example of a proposed change in construction method for a metal connector. The socket side component had a structure that retained the pin by utilizing the elasticity of the slits at a total of six locations. In order to achieve this slit shape, the connector required a process of slitting and warping, which until now required at least three processes: cutting of the outer diameter and warping using a milling machine.
However, the total cutting process entailed higher processing costs and material loss, leading to higher costs when the number of lots increased, necessitating a review of the production method.
Therefore, we devised a molding process and developed a die so that the same shape could be achieved by cold forging and partial cutting.
As a result, we succeeded in producing a product equivalent to a fully machined product by cold forging and partial cutting using a multi-stage parts former. Since the molding process cannot be disclosed to the public, we have refrained from publishing illustrations.
By adopting this method, we have succeeded in significantly reducing costs by approximately 60%. Please contact us if you are considering cost reduction for similar shapes.
This is a proposal for a VA case study in which our specialty cutting process is replaced by cold forging.
