Our Stamping Engineering Center's roles are molding simulation of prototype parts and development parts, design of molds, and fabrication of prototype molds (processing, assembly and correction). The Center is in charge of "innovative processes from development to pre-production" for jig and inspecting tool production. It makes it possible to globally handle UHSS parts and hard-to-mold parts by bringing the state-of-the-art press and mold technologies in-house and sharing them with global molding sites.

At our Stamping Engineering Center, we have 3,500-ton automated transfer press machinery dedicated for trial, and we can verify the quality at global production factories with high reproductivity. Thus, the efficient molding verification of parts requiring high strength and high accuracy is realized.

In addition, also for 1,470 Mpa class cold-stamped UHSS parts, we have extensive experience in center pillars, bumpers R/F, and rocker L patches, and have established the technical infrastructure capable of coping with mass production of high strength parts.

Our measurement and verification technologies support the production of molds with high accuracy. Our Stamping Engineering Center has introduced contactless three-dimensional measurement equipment (ATOS 5). It makes it possible to grasp a shape with high accuracy even in case of complex shapes, and a difference between a design value and a measured value is visualized. With this, we have realized ensuring of mold accuracy and stable quality at a higher level.
