Supporting the evolution of manufacturing research, collection and analysis of technical information
Technical support with state-of-the-art technology

Aiming to swiftly and accurately respond to the diverse demands from our customers Asahi-Seiki Manufacturing has established the Research & Development Department independent of the Precision Engineering Division and the Machinery Division to provide advanced technical information on each operation that contributes to the manufacture of high quality products.

Particularly, we deal with problems related with strength and rigidity in the machinery production and the formation of metallic processing as the pre-stage for product manufacturing, by creating Virtual Prototyping (VP), which allows us to plan for total efficiency at the trial manufacturing stage via computer simulation. We consider this as the most important technology in metallic product manufacturing and utilize it in high-volume production.

With the advancement of VP technology, we are able to predict problems in advance in the manufacturing process with data and CG, which leads to the more efficient manufacturing of press products whose quality has until now had to rely on the experience and instinct of the engineers. With this we are able to significantly reduce the need for random testing, thus resulting in reduction of not only time but also cost.

The Research & Development Department supports the Precision Engineering Division and the Machinery Division with its advanced analytical skills and abundant knowledge and know-how, supporting the high quality of products Asahi-Seiki delivers. The Department also promotes intellectual property rights for products and technology, supporting the establishment of business operations.
