The CHUO MALLEABLE IRON development process:


Our Sales, Technology and Production divisions come together to thoroughly review the various projects we receive from each of our customers. Development within each of processes begins as a whole to respond to all kinds of requests, from design-related feature requests to cost reductions.
The products we develop include many that have not existed before and are designed according to completely new concepts. We take pride in our creativity that produces extraordinary value above and beyond the customer's requests.
We are active in proposing ways to cut costs without lowering functionality to produce "quality products at lower prices."

Example VE Proposal
Taking advantage of the latest software, we make use of various analysis simulations such as strength, vibration, casting flow and coagulation simulations. This enables us to lower development costs and shorten lead times.

Examples of Simulations
We are able to outperform other companies with our shorter delivery times and higher precision through the implementation of our system that integrates design plans based on the casting technology we have cultivated and 3D-CAM/CAM software.
Even the manufacture of dies, which used to depend on the skills of the operator, has now been made more efficient and precise with the introduction of this system. We can also respond quickly to changes in specifications.
We are able to discover and correct problems at an early stage with our accurate trial manufacturing process that takes the production volume into consideration. The strength of the prototype builds our customers' confidence in our products.
We evaluate the material and strength of our products. Our products are put through detailed inspections in cutting-edge equipment that checks stress distribution and durability.Our sure-fire technology and achievements lead to strict product control.
We are constantly carrying out research and development to improve our technology. The products we make are used not only in Japan but contribute to the lifestyles of people all over the world.
