PresentationAt the heart of the high precision valley, Takahashi and Maiko.another machine can be an interesting alternative. Itis my job to work out the best machine concept eachtime, depending on the accuracy, as well as thequantity and the price my customer is willing to payfor his parts.DM: Usually you order a multispindle machinewith very few options and without any tooling.What is the reason ?According to our long experience we have developedour own equipment and tooling, therefore weprefer to use our in house technology. In addition, italso keeps the machine price much lower. Anotheradvantage is that we are capable of repairing andexchanging our own equipment, keeping the nonproductive machining time to a minimum.M. Ritter/STC: Thanks to the accuracy of TornosMULTIDECO machines Maiko was able toreplace single spindle machines, both fixedheadstock and sliding headstock, was it an easydecision and implementation ?Typically on a multispindle machine we usuallyachieve an average roundness under 3 microns anddiameter variation of 10 microns. On a single spindlemachine the roundness is under 2.5 microns anddiameter variation is 5 microns. With the new TornosMULTIDECO 20/8b we achieve roundness under2.5 microns and 8 microns diameter variation withstainless steel 18-8 (SUS 303) in full production.Depending on the parts and thanks to this highaccuracy we are now able to replace our single spindlemachines with multispindle machines. But, that’snot always possible and depends on a lot of parameterssuch as the geometry of the parts and thesize of the batches. By replacing single spindlemachines as far as we can, we gain productivity andthe floor space is reduced.DM: Maintenance and Service is also an issuethat is often named as important by users,what is your position on this ?If a Japanese company wants to buy importedmachines, the first concern is the correct and quickmaintenance of the machine by the supplier. Thanksto the skilled maintenance staff from STC, I was ableto overcome this worry. One thing I think Tornoscould improve is the spare parts lead time. I think a30 DECO MAGAZINE 03 / 06
delay of spare parts delivery influences customers’machining procedures. Tornos should have spareparts in stock.M. Ritter/STC: Yes, we agree. For your informationTornos Asia based in Hong Kong is now stockingspare parts to overcome this issue.DM: In which application field lies the futurefor Maiko ?My future vision is to manufacture complex and difficultparts (added value parts). Thanks to our knowhow we can remain competitive especially whenmachining highly accurate parts. I expect TORNOSdevelop higher accurate machine decreasing thermalexpansion than current DECO series in future. As toexport, we are doing our best to conquer competitionin south east Asia.DM: How about the hard disk market?We are producing such parts. In the HD business ithas risk that the demand can change drastically fromone day to the next. Also, specification of productscan change every time. However, currently productionvolume is increasing continuously. I think this HDbusiness is surely one of hopeful field. But, improvementof productivity is indispensable. For that purpose,I hope that TORNOS develop higher accuratemachine, which can which take over current singlespindle machines, decreasing thermal expansion.to improve the process by themselves. HoweverChina is catching up very quickly. That forces us toalways seek out new technologies but also to digmore and more in the process to improve our way touse the machines that we can find on the market.That way, we stay one step ahead of our competitors.DM: M. Omori, thank you for your time and theimpressive view of Maiko you shared with us,we hope that DECO Magazine will help you topromote your company.I would also like to mention that the success ofMaiko is also due to the good collaboration withTornos and STC. Maiko would like to thank you forthat.M. Ritter /STC: You are welcome. We wish youall the best and good success for the future.DM: With the strong competition coming fromChina, what are your assets ?Japan has an advantage of know-how comparedwith China. We have skilled operators that are ableMr. Ohmori president of Maiko and his team of engineers.From left to right: Mr. Morishita, Mr. Ohmori, Mr. Ohata and Mr. Fujinaka.The STC staff at the service of Japan customers.03 / 06DECO MAGAZINE 31
