We select processing processes (such as drawing, punching, and bending) and pressing machinery necessary for manufacturing pressed products from steel plates and optimize mold structures to realize stable processing quality. The ease of molding is verified through simulation, and at the same time, the data on failures in the past is collectively managed, utilized and collated with the information at the production sites to set processes "causing no problems in the subsequent processes". In addition, taking the balance between production efficiency, quality and cost into consideration, we perform optimum process settings depending on the conditions such as the number of production of parts and the delivery destination.
Process Setting
We perform process design realizing both production efficiency and quality for the processes from sheet metal pressing to welding and assembly, and realize stable production through simulation and automation.
Press Process Setting
Welding & Assembly Process Settings
Welding & assembly settings are the work of considering through what processes we should manufacture products when welding products or when assembling parts. We propose processes considering the safety, quality and productivity while taking into consideration the balance between the manual works such as the transportation of pressed parts, the assembly of parts, and the quality check of finished products, and the works by welding robots and processing facilities. In recent years, because of labor shortage and the like, we have been actively promoting the automation of facilities to realize labor-saving. In addition, we are trying to streamline operations by utilizing offline teaching from the stage of process settings.
What is Offline Teaching?
Offline teaching refers to the method of preparing and adjusting the programs for and the operations of a robot on the computer without actually operating the robot. Specifically, the operations and paths of the robot are designed and verified using 3D simulation software and the like, and then the program thereof is transferred to the robot and make the program work for the robot. It becomes possible to perform process settings with high accuracy by verifying the operations offline in advance. In addition, it is possible to save the working time by transferring the program as it is to the actual robot.
