Notice of Participation in the Kanto Mechanical Components Technology Exhibition [Leave it to us for precision metal parts!]

High-level quality developed in-house! Compatible with over 70 types of steel, with more than 35,000 proven models. We propose the optimal shape and material according to your application.

Castem's core technology is "lost wax precision casting," which excels in producing complex three-dimensional shapes. Since our founding, we have continuously responded to customer inquiries for manufacturing everything from simple shapes to challenging designs, with over 35,000 successful cases. In response to various demands for metal materials, we have started handling over 70 types of steel, including stainless steel, copper, and aluminum. We also accommodate special steels and unique ultra-high-strength duralumin (A7075 optimized for original casting), and we continue to challenge ourselves with new materials. 【Castem's Lost Wax】 - Higher precision and beautiful casting surfaces compared to other casting methods, allowing for a reduction in processing steps. - Capable of mass production of complex shapes and three-dimensional curved surfaces at low cost. - There are slight differences depending on the casting material (approximately 12S for small parts, 20S for large parts). - Strength can be freely pursued from two aspects: shape and material. - Special steels, stainless steel, copper alloys, and aluminum alloys can be freely selected. *For more details, please refer to the related link page or feel free to contact us.

There are also examples of medical device parts and aerospace-related parts. We can accommodate a wide range from lots of 10 pieces to tens of thousands!

The "Metal Injection Molding" process is a manufacturing method that creates metal parts in the desired shape by mixing powdered metal with a binder and injecting it into a mold. It excels in producing fine thin-walled shapes with thicknesses ranging from 0.2 mm to 5 mm. It accommodates millimeter-scale orders and demonstrates properties equivalent to those of wrought materials, such as torsion and bending. With a density of over 95% and pores that take on a round, independent shape, it exhibits excellent mechanical strength. The binder debinding process is conducted at high speeds to minimize the alteration and deformation of the metal powder, allowing for sintering under various conditions, including vacuum, reducing atmosphere, inert atmosphere, and high-pressure atmosphere, tailored to each metal's requirements. There are also examples in medical devices and aerospace components, with a wide range of production from batches of 10 to tens of thousands. **Features** - Small lot products of fewer than 3000 pieces are handled with low-cost dedicated molds. - In addition to standard metal injection materials, a wide range of materials is supported. - All processes, including precision machining, heat treatment, and plating, are integrated. - Quick response to low-cost, short lead times, and design changes. - The process is developed in-house. *For more details, please refer to the related link page or feel free to contact us.*

Solving on-site issues with next-generation casting technology!

"Castings are not suitable for prototyping or small lot production." —Don't you think so? With Castem's "Digital Cast," you can produce casting parts from just one piece without molds by utilizing 3D printing. The freedom of shape is also high, and you can significantly reduce lead time, costs, and labor. 【Cost Reduction Example】 The part in the thumbnail is a CG manifold that was previously made by machining two parts and then welding them together. Additionally, due to the special material Inconel 625, it was sourced from overseas processors, making it a quite costly part in the past. However, by creating it as a single molded piece, we achieved a cost reduction of up to 80% and improved strength. "Shapes that cannot be achieved by machining" and "I want to verify with the same material as the final product." We can solve such concerns in the development field with next-generation precision casting technology, Digital Cast. If you have 3D data, just leave the rest to us. We will provide precision cast products quickly!

The "Hotron Non-Contact Switch" allows you to open and close doors without directly touching door knobs or switches, making it hygienic! You can choose from two types: the "Hand Wave Sensor," which only requires you to wave your hand, and the "Foot Switch," which only requires you to place your foot in front of it. It reduces the risk of virus and bacteria transmission in places where hygiene is a concern, such as food factories, restaurants, hospitals, and nursing facilities. 【Features】 ○ Reduces the risk of virus transmission by allowing door operation without contact ○ A wide variety of options to choose from based on application and location ○ Ideal for places where hygiene is a priority, such as food factories and medical facilities ○ Prevents unnecessary detection due to the switch mechanism 【Product Lineup】 ■ Hand Wave Sensor Series ○ Exposed waterproof type, front, down, and side-facing type "PF-R5" ○ Exposed type, front-facing type "PF-R1" ○ Embedded type, front-facing type "PF-U2" ○ Exposed type, downward wide type "PF-R4" ■ Foot Switch Series ○ Slim type with wide opening, vertical beam type "PF-01S" ○ Slim type with wide opening, horizontal beam type "PF-03S" ○ Standard type, horizontal beam type "PF-05" ◎ For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

In recent years, with the outbreak of infectious diseases, there has been a demand for products that cater to "contactless operation," and this trend has extended to environments where automatic doors were previously operated by touch switches. As the automation of doors and the non-contact operation of automatic doors become more widespread, do you have any of the following concerns? ☑ Although automatic doors have been installed, they remain open due to people crossing frequently in busy areas. ☑ Touch switches have been introduced to reduce unnecessary openings and closings, but hygiene is a concern. ☑ Touch switches require regular battery replacements since they are powered. The light beam touch sensor "HA-T401" opens and closes automatic doors without contact, and its compact detection range makes it suitable for narrow passages and busy areas, contributing to energy savings and infection control. 【Benefits of Implementation】 ○ Adaptable to various door types with four spot settings, ideal for busy roads and narrow passages. ○ Energy-saving effects with two setting modes that reduce unnecessary openings and closings of automatic doors. ○ Equipped with a light beam touch function, allowing doors to open and close simply by waving a hand, ensuring hygiene. ◎ For more details, please download the catalog or contact us.

An article has been published about the case of introducing the expense reimbursement system "Rakuraku Seisan" at TSP Corporation. ~ In the case of TSP ~ Before the introduction, there were challenges such as dealing with the "paper" sent from various locations and the reliance on specific individuals for the tasks. After the introduction, the input and checking of FB data, which used to take 2 to 3 hours, can now be completed in just 5 minutes. Additionally, the mindset of the accounting department, which was previously reliant on manual entry, has changed. [Case Overview] ■ Challenges before introduction - Dealing with "paper" sent from various locations, reliance on specific individuals ■ Key points of introduction - A robust support system for setup and operation - Easy to start from a small scale both financially and functionally *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.
