Background to Introduction

With the establishment of a new factory, we introduced a number of machines.
When introducing the machines, we received advice on the characteristics and comparisons of each machine, and they cooperated by adjusting the delivery schedule to meet our desired timeline as much as possible.

Key points of introduction

We felt that the ability to link with the calculation software was a good feature. Another major point was that we could entrust repairs to this overseas manufacturer with peace of mind.

Effects after introduction

CS-185 HB
I like that it is suitable for short cuts and can handle not only large but also small jobs.

 

TRB-10-5Ⅱ
I like that it can bend both up and down, allowing it to handle various shapes.
Another good point is that it has improved processing efficiency by enabling automatic and easy bending of items that were previously bent using a single bending machine.

 

TBC-16RBⅡ
When processing small parts or complex shapes, we used to cut small amounts of rebar with a single cutting machine and then bend it with a bending machine. However, this machine can perform cutting and bending “almost automatically” once inputted, greatly improving efficiency.
What used to require two people for cutting and bending can now be done by one person.
The fact that anyone can use it is also a positive point.

Future Prospects

We have the personnel to operate the machine, which has the capacity to process 3,000 tons per month, so we plan to run the factory at full capacity and increase our shipment volume compared to the current level.
