Kaken Seiko's new transfer equipment

Kaken Seiko (Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture) has developed a new type of compact, single-bar transfer device that can be retrofitted to press machines. The company will start offering the product at the end of July. The price will be determined in the future. The company aims to sell 1,060 units a year. Three types of KTES series single-bar transfer machines will be available. The KTES series already uses the same method, but this time it uses linear servo motors. Depending on the stroke of each axis and the angle of motion assignment, the number of shots of the press machine can be increased from 50 to 75 per minute, which increases productivity. The manufacturer of the press machine to install this equipment is not required. First, we will introduce the 1200 mm wide x 1350 mm deep minimum x 180 mm high type. We will sequentially offer different types for different sizes of presses. Photo taken on June 6, 2019, location unknown, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images

Helical gears manufactured using a new method of vibration press

Amada Holdings (HD) has developed a method to reduce the machining time of gears used in transmissions with Subaru by 75% and the total cost by 30% compared to the conventional method. The new method replaces machining with presses instead of machine tools. A servo press machine with a high degree of freedom in control presses the material intermittently as if it were vibrating. The company devised a method of pressurizing the material and filling the dies with oil. The company aims to put this new method to practical use as soon as possible, as it enables mass production of high-precision gears at low cost. This is a new method of fluid pulse forging for helical gears (helical gears) with diagonal tooth threads, and is the result of Amada Orii (Isehara City, Kanagawa Prefecture), an affiliate of Amada HD, and Subaru. A related patent has been jointly applied for. (Photo taken on June 7, 2019, location unknown, credit: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun / Kyodo News Images)
