「In the Precision Components business, prototyping of complex-shaped scrolls, a major component of electric compressors for vehicles, using a new manufacturing method has been completed, and efforts to establish mass-production technology are underway.」
Prototyping of scrolls for electric compressors using a new manufacturing method has been completed, and the company has moved to the stage of establishing mass-production technology. - FY2025RestatedAnnual report
「In the Precision Components business, prototype development testing of scrolls, a major component of electric compressors for automotive air conditioners, is continuing.」
Prototype development testing of scrolls for electric compressors using presses and other equipment for research and development is ongoing. - FY2022RestatedAnnual report
「In addition, we continue to conduct prototype development testing of scrolls, a key component of electric compressors for automotive air conditioners, using an R&D press to support order-acquisition efforts for mass-produced components in the Precision Forged Products segment.」
Prototype development testing of scrolls for electric compressors using a press for research and development is ongoing. - FY2020RestatedAnnual report
「Our Group has contributed to the automotive industry by refining precision forging as a core technology, not only through precision forging dies but also through the development of closed die sets as peripheral equipment and the active introduction of presses for R&D.」
The policy of refining precision forging as a core technology through the use of presses for R&D remains in place. As there is no mention of the completion of any new introduction, this item was flagged for rechecking. - FY2019AdvancedAnnual report
「In the Net Shape business, using a development and testing press, we conducted in-house concept studies and basic tests on low-load forming of helical gears, in addition to the hollow shafts and sheet forging work undertaken to date.」
The development scope using the testing and development press expanded from hollow shafts and sheet forging to low-load forming of helical gears, progressing through basic testing. - FY2018AdvancedAnnual report
「In the Net Shape business, in addition to the thick-plate forging work conducted to date, we used the 5-axis, 1,000-ton hydraulic double-action press (NFD-1000) introduced in the previous fiscal year to develop a sheet-forging process aimed at reducing costs and evaluate forgeability. We will continue these activities.」
The 5-axis, 1,000-ton hydraulic double-action press introduced in the previous fiscal year was used in the development of an actual sheet-forging process, which progressed through forgeability evaluation. - FY2017AdvancedAnnual report
「This fiscal year, we introduced a new 5-axis, 1,000-ton hydraulic double-action press as a successor machine. This has made it possible to shorten the production process for hollow shaft components, which we had previously been developing.」
The planned double-action 5-axis forging press was actually introduced as a 5-axis, 1,000-ton successor machine, making it possible to shorten the process for hollow shaft components. - FY2016First statedAnnual report
「The introduction of a double-action 5-axis forging press planned for the next fiscal year is being advanced as part of these efforts to strengthen development activities. One of the challenges is to use the press’s proprietary functions effectively to address increasingly advanced and complex precision forging needs, accelerate R&D, and achieve early commercialization.」
The equipment introduction planned for the next fiscal year is explicitly stated, with addressing precision forging needs, accelerating R&D, and achieving early commercialization identified as its purposes. The equipment plan calls for work to begin in April Heisei 28, completion in October Heisei 28, and a planned investment of ¥400 million.
