A good example of the use of small piston pumps in new product development can be seen in the device adopted by Lobtex Co., Ltd., which is also a Higashi-Osaka company.

A small piston pump extrudes a cylinder, which has a tool at the end designed to cut through steel reinforcement bars. This device is capable of cutting through bars of up to 16 mm in diameter.

While electric motors have been traditionally used as the power sources of such devices, the use of an electrically powered piston pump reduces power consumption, resulting in more than twice as many bars cut on a full charge.

Our technology for welding steel balls in 1/60 second achieves lower costs while maintaining high accuracy and hardness without causing changes in the material's properties. The welds have no cracks, etc. and burrs, which are commonly found in friction welding, are not generated. Our ball welding technology has earned us enormous trust from companies in many different fields including hydraulic equipment parts and automotive parts.

Our innovative forging technology realizes high accuracy and makes possible the production of complicated shapes that have traditionally been considered unachievable by forging, thereby saving machining processes (precision-forging technology requires no draft angle). Forged work pieces, which incorporate continuous fiber flows with no metallographic breaks and exhibit a fine uniform structure, possess strength and tenacity incomparably higher than that of products made by other manufacturing techniques (machining, press working, ordinary forging, welding, etc.).
