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.
Shaving Forging

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.).
