Custom Metal Works Division

In order to manage the diverse orders we receive from our customers, we actively use new technologies, such as state-of-the-art inspection devices and databases. These enable us to make constant improvements and maintain an even higher level of quality.

Examples of proposals

Through application of the fully order-made metal component processing that is the specialty of SATAKE Precision Technology,
we have proactively resolved the problems of our customers.
Some examples of proposals that have realized “giving concrete form to concepts” are set out here.

Cutting processing

We have provided our customers with cold forging and cutting proposals to successfully reduce costs by roughly 30%. Processing blanks using cold forging greatly reduces material and cutting costs. This processing method is best suited for products with some degree of volume that are thick along their axis.

Design

When combining cutting plates and press pins, we designed and proposed our own optimal press pin size and used it to produce finished products. We worked together with customers to consider quality, delivery times, and costs from the product prototype rough drawing and sketch stage, provided manufacturing design support, and greatly reduced design lead time.

Processing of difficult shapes

The existing technologies used by the customer were difficult and involved significant loss. We collaborated with a partner plant with optimal welding technologies to provide a one-stop solution. The surfaces of the completed articles were sensitive, so we also designed and proposed packaging which would protect them from damage.

Spinning lathe processing

The customer wanted to smoothly handle the transition from prototyping to mass production, so we proposed the use of spinning for prototyping pressed products. Spinning can be ordered on an individual product basis, so it’s perfect for spot use for small lots by customers concerned about the cost of making dies for pressing products.

Wire cutting processing

Working in collaboration with a specialist manufacturer, SATAKE Precision Technology runs more than 12 wire cutting machines for 20 hours every day to realize major cuts in hourly costs. This approach makes it possible to handle thicknesses of 0.01 ～ 300 mm and to carry out stack processing of thin plates. Our facility is fully equipped with approximately 250 jigs including special shapes to realize cost reductions.

Lost wax processing

SATAKE Precision Technology’s lost-wax process uses overseas production to offer lower costs than domestic manufacturing while maintaining the same quality as domestically manufactured products. Compared to domestic manufacturing, lost-wax processing cuts material costs by roughly 30% and mold costs by roughly 65% — significant savings.

Transfer press processing

We provide proposals for switching from a multi-process approach consisting of single-shot pressing and assembly to integrated pressing technology to meet customer needs. Our large progressive press machines can process stainless steel sheets up to 9.0mm thick, reducing costs by roughly 30% as well as shortening lead time.

We can fulfil any order.
