Success case: Approximately 60% reduction in production time for keyway processing with a multitasking machine - HORN.

Reduced production time by approximately 60% with HORN's broaching process, and further reduced costs by about 41%. Introduction of a successful case study from a gear manufacturer.

We would like to introduce a successful case of broaching processing utilizing a multi-tasking machine at Kobara Gear Industry Co., Ltd. Kobara Gear Industry Co., Ltd. is a gear manufacturer established in Saitama Prefecture. The company faced various challenges, such as the need to "produce a large number of products in a short time," "increased setup time," and "increased logistics management labor," which led to rising costs. This necessitated the streamlining of the entire production process. To improve this situation, Kobara Gear Industry Co., Ltd. introduced a multi-tasking machine and transitioned from a traditional process-segmented production method to a production method where broaching of keyways can be completed in one chucking. For the broaching of keyways, they used our product, the "HORN broaching tool." As a result, the consolidation of processes was achieved, reducing the cycle time by approximately 60% and successfully cutting costs by 41%. HORN products can accommodate a wide range of processing, including keyways, hex holes, square holes, Torx, splines, and gears (special products). *For more details, please download the catalog or feel free to contact us.
