Seat belt locking block
Develop pre-formed shaped materials tailored to subsequent forming requirements.
Professional Capabilities 03 / 05 · Non-Standard Materials
From the part drawing
to materials closer to the final shape.
Based on customer part and downstream processing needs, develop non-circular cross sections, complex profiles, and near-net-shape materials, while jointly controlling dimensions, fillet radii, and surface quality.
The customer’s requirements
Incorporate downstream processing needs into the cross-section design in advance.
Large machining allowances on round stock
We aim to start with material closer to the target geometry to assess the potential for reducing subsequent machining.
Key dimensions and fillet requirements are clearly specified.
Part assembly or forming depends on cross-sectional features; dimensional references, tolerances, and inspection methods must be jointly confirmed.
It is necessary to balance material properties and geometry.
Cross-section development must also consider material composition, delivery condition, subsequent deformation, and surface requirements.
Development approach
Joint Development of Material Cross Sections and Processing Routes
Drawing and datum review
Verify functional dimensions, fillets, tolerances, section orientation, and measurement references to identify which features most impact subsequent processing.
Tooling and processing plans
Considering material ductility, cross-sectional changes, and existing equipment constraints, collaboratively determine tooling and processing routes, then organize trial production.
Validation of Sample and Mass Production Consistency
Inspect cross-sectional dimensions, surface finish, and mechanical properties; have the customer confirm subsequent processing performance before finalizing delivery and inspection criteria.
Projects and Case Studies
Section development is carried out based on different part requirements.
Current projects cover areas such as safety components, bearings, transmissions, and precision structural parts.
Bearing Retainers
Assess special section materials based on cage structure and machining needs.
Transmission components and precision structural parts
Coordinate complex profiles, critical dimensions, and material states according to the drawings.
The figure shows material samples. The machining, assembly, and in-service performance of the final part must be verified within the relevant project.
Verification and Confirmation
Confirm materials and solutions using supporting evidence.
- Inspection of cross-sectional profile, dimensions, tolerances, and fillet radii
- Surface condition and roughness inspected as required
- Verification of Material Properties and Processing States
- Customer’s subsequent machining, assembly, and sample confirmation
Initiate project communication
Bring this information along to make technical discussions more precise.
For materials already available, initial discussions can proceed; any unclear conditions will be further confirmed by both parties.
- 2D drawings, 3D models, and dimensional references
- Material Grade, Delivery Condition, and Surface Requirements
- Subsequent processes, critical deformations, and assembly requirements
- Sample Quantity, Delivery Form, and Acceptance Methods
Specific dimensions, tolerances, fillets, surface finish, and delivery form are confirmed through technical review. Improvements in machining processes or cost reductions are subject to validation in actual projects.
