Sustainable Growth through Original Technology Development and New Product Creation

「The Company announced the “SSVL type,” a long-edge version of the SIC-EVO shoulder-milling tool, designed for machining with long tool overhangs through its low-resistance design, and added a 12D type to the popular indexable TA-EZ drill, expanding its product lineup to meet customer needs.」

「In research and development during the consolidated fiscal year, the Company standardized and launched DS2, a new coating grade that improves insert life when machining difficult-to-cut materials such as nickel-based alloys and stainless steel.」

「In research and development during the consolidated fiscal year, the Company developed the corrosion-resistant cemented carbide grade SD40 and launched it on the market. It also completed development and began performance evaluations of the steel-cutting coating grade, which improves adhesion to the cemented carbide substrate and suppresses minor peeling, and the ultrafine-grain cemented carbide grades HS10 and HS20, which combine hardness and strength for wear-resistant tools.」

「In research and development during the consolidated fiscal year, the Company completed development of a coating that substantially improved the life of inserts for cutting stainless steel and began performance evaluations. If the results are favorable, the coating will be standardized and launched on the market. The Company also determined that cemented metal could be applied to specialized uses by raising its magnetic properties to the level of cemented carbide, and achieved the target magnetic properties in prototypes.」

「① Employees who act independently and freely, break with established concepts through fresh ideas, and display energy develop original new products, new technologies and new production technologies, thereby spreading new value throughout the world.」

「In particular, in cutting tools, the Company focused on developing new products aligned with customer needs, launching 12 products, including the high-precision solid drill “Strike Drill” and the new “All-Directions Series” brand of 5-axis machining tools,」

「In the 95th fiscal year, the Company developed various new products, including an end mill for high-efficiency machining of hardened materials, a high-feed cutter for machining heat-resistant alloys, and cutters for high-feed and shoulder milling.」

「In cutting tools, the Group worked to expand sales by launching 22 new products, including the solid ball end mill “Hard 1 Ball,” and, under its “5-Axis Machining Tool Series,” the high-precision indexable barrel tool “Mirror Barrel” and the solid modular head “Tulip S Head.”」

「Since its founding in 1938, the Company has operated as a specialist manufacturer of cemented carbides and carbide tools. Guided by the management philosophy of “contributing to the world through highly original technology development,” it aims to sustain growth by creating new technologies and products.」

「In the 92nd fiscal year, the Company developed various new products while addressing the themes set out below.」

「In October, the Group exhibited at “MECT 2017,” held in Nagoya, and at the “Dongguan International Fair,” held in China in November. Many customers visited the exhibitions, and the Group received numerous inquiries about the new high-feed cutter “SKS-G2” and the Mirror Ball SS insert “BNM-SS,” among others, making the events highly successful. The nationwide campaign for the new products also achieved its target. The Group plans to launch further new products and will continue proposing high-efficiency, high-precision machining.」

「In October, the Company began selling the new high-feed cutter “SKS-G II” and the “BNM-SS” Mirror Ball SS insert.」

「The Company added the “YOHW” finishing insert to its “QM Mill” high-efficiency mold-machining tool and achieved high-efficiency, high-precision machining.」

「Under these conditions, in addition to its specialized mold-machining tools, the Group launched new products for the aerospace industry and drilling tools. It also worked actively to promote and sell its products, exhibiting at domestic and overseas trade shows, including Japan International Machine Tool Fair, one of Japan’s largest events, with the aim of expanding sales.」

「Under these conditions, in cutting tools, the Group further expanded the product rollout of “New DH Coat,” a new coating for machining hardened materials, to extend the service life of its specialized mold-machining tools. It also launched a new high-efficiency indexable tool that allows both sides of the insert to be used, taking into consideration not only tool performance and cost efficiency but also the environment.」

「In cutting tools, the Company further advanced the commercialization of the new coating “New DH Coat,” developed last fiscal year for machining hardened materials, with the aim of improving the performance of its specialized mold-machining tools. It also introduced the higher-value-added superhard material known as a cubic boron nitride (CBN) sintered body into “Giant Radius” inserts for the high-precision indexable end mill “Mirror Ball,” among other new product initiatives.」
