Tool Steel

We have introduced the original inventory/sales/production management system for storing a wide variety of steel at all times and smoothly linking them to the next cutting process. This enables us to supply steel efficiently.

For the process of cutting steel to the required size, we have introduced the fully automated saw cutting system. The material handling equipment attached to the system packs the steel to be used and saw cutting machines, capable of operating 24 hours a day, perform the work.

Milling is performed to remove the surface scale that causes surface unevenness. A uniform finish stabilizes quality, allowing us to estimate the machining time and achieve planned production.

Our heat treatment center features three quenching furnaces, including a large furnace installed in 2016, and nine tempering furnaces. We make full use of these two types of furnaces to adjust hardness, dimensional change, and distortion to maximize the characteristics of special steel. Which stabilizes the heat-affected layer formed during WEDM processing, thereby reducing the time-based dimensional change to 1/5 to 1/10 of the conventional level.

The Technology Development Center, where machining is performed, features a temperature/humidity-controlled room with temperature of ±0.5°C and humidity of less than 60%. We make full use of 3-axis and 5-axis machining centers to carry out finishing of more complex shapes.

The high dimensional precision of molds is a proof of the technical capabilities employed in the preceding processes. The step of measuring proves this in numerical terms. In our accredited ISO17025 laboratory measurement environment, we utilize CMMs and non-contact measuring machine to guarantee absolute dimensions. This further increases the added value of our products.

All molds and other products made by us are delivered to our customers by Yamaichi Logistics, our own designated freight forwarding company. Our delivery system responds accurately, safely, and flexibly.
