Sugino Machine has made a great leap forward by converting the air pressure of the "tube cleaner" to water pressure technology. Sugino's technologies, including ultra high-pressure, have been used in various situations within the industrial community. With extraordinary conception and imagination, Sugino Machine will continue exploring the potential of new technologies.
Ultra High-Pressure Technology
Sugino Machine's ultra high-pressure technology has made an excellent contribution to various industries which demand technologies for cleaning, deburring, cutting, or coating and hard surface removing. Water Jet Cutter, one of the most significant of Sugino's products, uses this technology to discharge pressurized water.
Sugino's pressurizing and ultra-atomization, an application of pressurizing technology, is used in various situations to develop new products. These technologies are playing an increasingly important role in industry and society.
Mechatronics Technology
Mechatronics adds electronics to machines to improve their capability and performance. This technology is in widespread use, for example, in washing machines and in auto focus cameras. Sugino Machine puts mechatronics technology to full use in Water Jet cleaning devices and cutting devices, and in many other products such as, Selfeeder electric or Self-Center. As information and communication technology is rapidly advancing, mechatronics is being noted as an important future technology.
Automated Cutting Work System Technology
In the various cutting work such as drilling, tapping, reaming, milling, and turning, more advanced and improved version of the cutting theory has become necessary. An Automated Cutting Work System enables a creation of an automatic manufacturing system to suit production methods for each component with the advanced cutting machines adopting Mechatronics technology.
The Automated Cutting Work System is used for Sugino's Selfeeder Electric, SynchroTapper, and Self-Center. Because cutting work is mandatory for any industry, Sugino uses the Automated Cutting Work System in response to customer's requirements for bring customers higher speed, higher precision, and lower cost.
Measuring Technology
Measuring technology allows measurement of major and minor diameters at the micron or submicron level, as well as the length or curve of something as slender as 10 nanometers. Sugino Machine has put all these into actual use with an automated measurement device. Piston measuring instruments for automobile components, and fuel inspection devices for nuclear power related products, are examples of the application of this technology.
Robot Technology
In narrow areas within a group of piping, or the inside of nuclear power facilities, robot technology helps remote access by executing performance monitoring, visual inspection, and ultrasonic testing. Sugino's robot technology is important in maintaining secure operations and maintenance of special environmental areas where humans are unable to enter.
Plastic Processing Technology
Plastic processing for metals includes rolling, extrusion, drawing, casting, sheet metal pressing, and form rolling. Sugino Machine has developed unique rolling processing technology using several rollers to roll the tube's inner and outer surfaces for tube expansion and 'mirror-like finishing'.
Of Sugino's products, the Superoll and the Tube Expander use this technology; the Tube Expander expands tubes for heat exchangers, boiler, or condensers, and then fixes them on tube plates; the Superoll rolls microscopic irregularities on the metal surface, instantly achieving a mirror-like finish. Both are used in various industries.
