The Higashi Osaka company Lobtex developed a new product utilizing Takako Industries’ miniature piston pump. The piston pump pushes on the cylinder, which has a blade mounted on it for cutting reinforcing bar. Their product is capable of cutting bars up to 16 millimeters in diameter.
By switching from a conventional electric motor to the Takako Industries’ piston pump, they greatly decreased the power consumption, extending the life per charge to twice as many cutting operations.
Using technology for welding steel balls in one-sixtieth of a second, Takako Industries has lowered costs while maintaining their high level of precision, hardness and other properties. There is no cracking in the weld, and burrs as often seen in friction welding do not result. Takako Industries’ ball welding technology is trusted by leading companies in a wide range of industries including manufacturers of hydraulic device parts and automobile components.
Shaving Forging

Using a revolutionary precision forging technology not requiring a draft angle, Takako Industries has eliminated the cutting process from precision forming. Because the resulting product is forged, the work process can be carried out continuously without breaking the fiber flow in the metallographic structure. The resulting composition is fine and uniform, producing a strength and ductility not possible in such conventional technologies as shaving, pressing, (non-shaving) forging and welding.
