Environmentally Friendly Manufacturing(Machine Tools)
In our machine tools business, we implemented thorough research not only in the planning and design processes that determine product performance, but also in the procurement of parts and the manufacturing process, so that we can respond optimally to environmental considerations throughout the life cycle of our products.
Support for customer initiatives for the environment
Reduction of waste
It is possible to switch between the guide bushing and the non-guide bushing according to the overall length dimension of the workpiece. This makes it possible to minimize the length of the remaining waste material. Furthermore, high-cutter rigidity attains high productivity and ensures long tool-service life.
Reduced power consumption
- Star Motion Control
- With our proprietary technology that ensures optimal shaft movement, non-cutting times are greatly reduced and power consumption per component is reduced.
- Step Cycle Pro
- Splitting chips by swinging shaft movements and achieving long-term continuous operation reduces the machine downtime and reduces power consumption.
- Operation Monitoring Software SMOOSS-i
- We help our customers improve their productivity by visualizing the state of the machine. Also, it is possible to confirm power consumption for each component unit of the product using the power-consumption display screen. This assists our customer in their efforts to conserve power.
- Eco Mode
- Reduced power consumption while the machine is idling.
Initiatives in the company
- Disuse of hazardous chemicals
- Proactive replacement to eco-friendly equipment
- Renewal to a smart factory that reduces its impact on the environmental
- Procurement of eco-friendly parts and materials
Next-generation eco-machines "Swiss-type CNC automatic lathe SD-26"
SD-26 can be applied to a wide range of workpieces with outer diameters from φ8mm to φ26mm, and it is possible to select from four types depending on the processing application. This makes it possible to process all kinds of workpieces for automobiles, hydraulics, pneumatic equipment, and medical related equipment and others.
By consolidating the various workpieces into one unit, customer equipment efficiency is improved.
The accessibility of the spindle, guide bushing, and turret has been greatly improved compared to conventional models. This reduces the load on the operator. Also, productivity has been improved by shortening the setup time while power consumption has been reduced.
Still further, it is equipped with Star Motion Control and Step Cycle Pro, and the newly developed "Eco Mode" function reduces power consumption when the machine is stopped.
SD-26 is a new product that we consider to be the next generation of eco-machines. It strives to improve productivity and to reduce power consumption in both aspects of hardware and software.
