Developing the Next Generation Car and Establishing new Manufacturing Methods

New Issues

Applications

Improvements for the next generation of car result in the need for increased manufacturing of

new parts. There is a wide range of new manufacturing methods, such as changing conventional

screw fittings to welded fittings to adapt to the usage environment of the components, and

changes to processing methods due to changes to the material properties of parts. New

manufacturing methods therefore require the reliability of equipment to be verified inline.

Automotive companies are researching various manufacturing technologies to enable overseas expansionand manufacturing of the next generation car.Points that gain particular attention are:

New problems that are generated when expanding lines overseas

New problems that are generated when changing, standardizing andreducing materials for parts

Automobile manufacturers are therefore actively pursuing the following types of testing and evaluationtechnologies.

New Issues

Applications

Applications

Standardization of parts is increasing due to market demands in emerging nations and the need

for cost reduction. Standardized parts are required to meet a high level of accuracy for use on

standard and high-end cars, and requirements for improved productivity must be achieved together

with improved processing time. Equipment that can achieve both accuracy and speed is required.

It is becoming increasingly more common to manufacture new products on existing lines in order to

reduce costs. It takes a long time for initial adjustments when programming a manufacturing line for

different products, and there are increased risks of different products becoming mixed. There is therefore

a great demand for techniques that can ensure proper component selection and simplify changeover.

R&D DivisionThe automotive industry is pursuing various new developments with the aim of fuel efficiency improvementand cost reduction.Points that gain particular attention are:

New problems that are generated when reducing component size and weight

New problems that are generated when changing, standardizing andreducing materials for parts

Automobile manufacturers are therefore actively pursuing the following types of testing and evaluationtechnologies.

Vibration and Wear Testing for Size Reduction

New Issues

Applications

Reducing the size of parts and housings increases the density of each unit. For this reason, the

distance margin between parts becomes smaller, reducing vibration resistance, and rubbing from

the vibration causes parts to wear. Reducing the size of parts means even stricter production

tolerances are pursued, and therefore new evaluation methods are required.

Evaluation of Heat Dissipation for Electrical Components

Eccentricity Due to Resinification/Dimension Evaluation

New Issues

New Issues

Applications

Applications

As hybrid and electric cars become more widespread, a larger portion of a traditionally

mechanical drivetrain is being replaced with electric components. As new parts such as motor

components handle larger electricity flows than conventional parts, the internal mechanism

becomes hot. Therefore, new methods of evaluation are required for parts used hear heat

sources or that are used for heat dissipation.

Parts that were conventionally manufactured from metal are now being made from resin for cost reduction andweight reduction purposes.

Reduced weight products have been achieved, but there is now a need for new evaluation methods to check

accuracy and stability, such as dimension and eccentricity evaluation, to ensure standardization of the new products.
