Cylinder shape process

Cylinder shape process

When using conventional method, the press fitting part of cylinder shape had to first go through stamping then reaming process later. Our new method will only need stamping process which can produce the cylinder shape mold. We have therefore successfully reduce cost for manufacturing processes.
Cylinder shape part have a hight of approx. 10mm, below 0.05mm hole diameter tolerance, and is maintaining the shear plane from upper/lower end to the press fitting part.

Thickness control process using aluminum sheet

Thickness control process using aluminum sheet

Conventionally for the parts which needed thickness or strength, cutting process was used.
Our new process method made those thickness formation process possible by using Aluminium material. From original material thickness of 4.5mm, it can increase or decrease the thickness to 8.0mm or to 4.3mm. Freedom to strengthen and shape formation improved dramatically compared to the old cutting method. Additional tapping method is possible for the thickness increased part and surfaces.

3D molding made possible from a flat sheet

3D molding made possible from a flat sheet

Conventional drawing method was difficult to form the shape of different diameter with steps or using cutting method for inner R bend.
Kiya‘s new method overcame the above drawing method and complex cutting issues by using stamping process. By making the metal sheet and pipe fitting component in one process, we successfully managed to reduce the cost with less defect occurrences.

Irregular shape groove molding

Irregular shape groove molding

Kiya’s original forging die method using single stamping process, can integrate process which conventionally needed both cutting and burring methods(prepared hole needed).
The roughness of the surface of groove is similar or better than the cutting method which can simultaniously cut the cost of extra process and reduce defect occurrences.
The new method can cut cost by reducing extra process and defect occurrences but has similar to or better surface roughness of groove quality.

Thickness adjustment processing with high tensile steel plate for product shape formation.

Thickness adjustment processing with high tensile steel plate for product shape formation.

Conventional method produced extra cost by using extra thick material to manufacture one way thinning process which created excess material waste.
Our new method can control thickness (increase/decrease) using the original material thickness of 3.2mm to thicken to 3.4mm or reduce to 2.6mm. We have realised 10% cost reduction by being able to increase thickness using thinner material. High tensile steel material can also be used for this molding technique.

Cylinder shape, square type flange formation

Cylinder shape, square type flange formation

KIYA have successfully changed the processing from 2 step conventional forging and cutting into a single stamping process.
From 9mm thick high tensile steel, we have made it possible to increase thickness of 50% or more from the original steel by using stamping process. This made it possible for us to suggest cost reduction by using our new method. Aluminium material can also be considered to reduce weight.
