High-Value-Added Products and Services Leveraging Technology Seeds and Business Synergies

「Alongside developing new products and making technical proposals that contribute to users' manufacturing activities」

「In the tooling and machine tools business, we launched the round tools “LA Aqua REVO Drill” and “LA Aqua REVO Mill” for CNC automatic lathes. With a standardized tool length, this series simplifies machining programs, reduces setup work and improves ease of use for customers. In precision tooling, we also developed the “Air Skiving System,” a dry machining method that extends tool life to approximately five times the previous level.」
