Examples of technologies used in the automotive industry

CFRP加工

CFRP

CFRP processing is a processing method utilized in automobile manufacturing to reduce weight and increase strength. In particular, CFRP is used for body panels, roofs, doors, hoods, splitters, rear wings, etc. in sports cars and luxury cars, contributing to improved fuel efficiency and driving performance by reducing vehicle weight. CFRP can also be used for structural components such as chassis, monocoque structure, and drive shafts to significantly reduce weight while ensuring rigidity and durability.

金属3Dプリント

Metal 3D Printing

In the automotive field, we utilize metal 3D printing to produce high-performance parts such as engine parts, cooling parts, and exhaust systems. The 3D printing enables integrated molding of internal flow channels, which was complicated by conventional methods, as well as lightweight and high-strength parts, contributing to improved driving performance and a reduction in the number of parts. Flexibility to handle everything from prototyping to small-lot production is also a major strength of our company.

板金加工

Sheet Metal

Sheet metal processing technology is an indispensable processing technology in automotive manufacturing for the production of body structures and exterior parts. For example, large parts such as body panels, doors, hoods, fenders, and roofs are formed with high precision mainly by press working, laser cutting, and bending techniques. Sheet metal processing is also utilized for structural parts such as chassis parts, reinforcement brackets, and muffler covers, enabling both weight reduction and high rigidity. Furthermore, combining sheet metal processing with welding and riveting supports the manufacture of automobiles that ensure collision safety and durability.

切削加工

Machining

Cutting is a machining process widely used in automobile manufacturing to produce precision parts for engines, drive trains, and undercarriages. Typical parts include crankshafts, camshafts, pistons, brake discs, and wheel hubs, all of which require high dimensional accuracy and surface quality. High-precision machining of materials such as aluminum, steel, and titanium using lathes, milling machines, and machining centers improves wear resistance and durability, enabling the manufacture of vehicles with high engine performance and safety.

射出成形

Injection Molding

Injection molding technology is an essential processing method for the high-precision production of plastic parts in automotive manufacturing. Major parts manufactured by injection molding include instrument panels (dashboards), bumpers, door trims, air conditioner vents, and various connectors and clips. In automotive manufacturing, engineering plastics are used because of their superior heat resistance and impact resistance, which also contributes to weight reduction and cost savings. In addition, complex shapes can be molded in one piece, reducing the number of parts and simplifying the assembly process.

冷間加工

Cold Forming Process

Cold working is a processing method that plastically deforms materials below their recrystallization temperature, and is widely used in the manufacture of automotive parts. Many automotive parts require high strength, precision, and durability, and cold working is a compatible processing method. It is used in the manufacture of engine parts, transmission parts, suspension parts, and many other parts. Cold working is important in increasing the strength of automotive parts because work hardening increases the strength of the material. At the same time, it offers various advantages, such as precise dimensional accuracy, making it suitable for manufacturing parts with complex shapes, and smooth surfaces, reducing drag on the vehicle body.

Examples of materials used in the automotive industry

High tensile strength steel
High-tensile steel (high-tensile steel) is an indispensable material for reducing vehicle weight and improving safety. It has higher tensile strength than ordinary steel and can maintain sufficient rigidity and strength even when processed thinly, thus reducing vehicle weight while improving fuel efficiency. It is widely used in structural parts that require safety in the event of a collision, such as body frames, door impact beams, pillars, and bumper reinforcement parts. Its excellent processability also makes it possible to improve production efficiency while meeting automobile collision safety standards.
aluminum alloy
Aluminum alloys are an important material that contributes to weight reduction and fuel efficiency in automobiles. Aluminum is about one-third lighter than steel, yet has excellent strength and corrosion resistance, and is used in a wide range of components, including engine parts, suspension parts, wheels, body panels, doors, and hoods. In particular, it is actively used in electric and high-performance vehicles to improve cruising range. Another major advantage is that they are easy to mold and cut, allowing for a high degree of freedom in design.
CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic)
CFRP is an extremely lightweight material with high strength and rigidity, contributing greatly to the weight reduction and performance improvement of automobiles. In particular, the use of CFRP in structural components such as body panels, roofs, doors, rear wings, and monocoque chassis can reduce the total weight of the vehicle. This also improves acceleration and handling performance, leading to improved fuel and electric costs.

In addition to this, we can handle all kinds of materials.

Key to Successful Manufacturing of Components for the Automotive Industry

Design and material selection to achieve both lightweight and high strength

In the manufacture of automotive parts, design and material selection must achieve both lightweight and high strength. Reducing the weight of a vehicle directly leads to improved fuel efficiency, electric cost, and driving performance, but it cannot be done at the expense of safety or rigidity. Therefore, the key is to use light and strong materials such as high-tensile steel (high-tensile steel), aluminum alloys, and CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) in the right places. Furthermore, it will be necessary to design optimal wall thickness and shape using structural analysis and simulation to reduce overall weight while maximizing the function of each component.

Advanced processing technology and quality control

High-precision machining technology and quality control are also required in the manufacture of automotive parts. Engine parts, transmissions, brakes, and other components require precision in the order of microns, so advanced cutting, grinding, and electrical discharge machining are necessary. In addition, after machining, a strict quality control system must be in place, including dimensional measurement and visual inspection using CMMs and image inspection equipment. This will ensure a stable supply of high-quality parts that are safe and durable.

Environmental Responsiveness and Sustainable Production System

In recent years, environmental responsiveness and sustainable production systems have become important issues in the automotive industry. As the entire vehicle fleet becomes lighter and more electrically powered in order to improve fuel efficiency and electric costs, recyclable high-tensile steel, aluminum alloys, and recycled plastics are increasingly being used. Also not to be overlooked is the need to introduce energy-saving machinery and renewable energy in the production process, as well as to reduce emissions and waste. In addition, environmental impact reduction activities are being promoted throughout the supply chain in an effort to become carbon neutral.
