Introduction

Chapter 1: “Smaller, Lighter, More Precise”

Manufacturing around the world is in fierce technological competition

• “Is there a better material?
• Why is the world paying attention to a small company in Nagahama, Shiga Prefecture?
• What are the fields in which Japanese manufacturing, which is in decline, can compete with the rest of the world?
• The miniaturization, weight reduction, and high-precision of electronic components are reaching their limits
• Conventional basic materials cannot keep up with the world’s most advanced technological developments
• The more diversified materials become, the more cutting and grinding processes are in an unknown world
• Processing of “hard and brittle” materials has become a national-level challenge
• Processing of “hard and brittle” materials supports cutting-edge research and development

Chapter 2: Tungsten, Molybdenum, Ceramics, Quartz Glass ……

The reality of manufacturing sites that cannot keep up with the diversification of materials

• There is no “processing textbook” for the special materials
• How to cut – “Hard and brittle” special materials
• Difficult-to-machine materials with different machining characteristics for each material
• The world of precision machining where an error of 1/1000 of a millimeter can be fatal

 

Chapter 3: Enabling Precision Machining of Ultra-Hard Materials

What are “cutting” and “grinding” technologies?

• Material Processing – It is “Physics
• The tool that makes sense is a “Japanese sword”
• There are many ways to the top of the mountain
• There are many paths to the top of the mountain
• Imagine your head as if it were a tool
• The way to develop your own route is in infinite combinations
• Circus plate spinning is a breakthrough! After trial and error, micron-level precision is achieved
• The keyword of the third rule of the magic processing recipe is “time question
• Determine what the customer wants

 

Chapter 4: World-Class Engineers Realize

Miracle of Special Material Processing

• There is a drama in the processing of special materials

Case 1~5

 

Chapter 5: Turning the Impossible into the Possible

Precision Machining Technology for Difficult-to-Machine Materials

Changing the world’s manufacturing

• A new employee says, “If only they knew” when reporting on an overseas business trip
• Management philosophy allows us to devote ourselves to our work without wavering
• The foundation of our business philosophy is to “respond to customers’ needs
• Focus on education and training to create new value
• Further pursuit of quality control and full-fledged entry into the medical field
• The manufacturing field is the place where talented young people can flourish.
• Belief in pursuing a behind-the-scenes role in “Japanese manufacturing
