SUPER! TECHNOLOGY

Water is pressurized to a maximum of 600 MPa and jetted through a 0.1 mm nozzle, enabling materials to be cut into free-form shapes. This technology can cut materials that are difficult to process using other methods, including transparent materials, brittle materials, carbon fiber, aramid fiber, and thermoplastic resins.
Applications range from automotive interior and exterior materials, reinforced concrete structures, special aircraft materials, building materials, stone, and food. Combining water jet with lasers also enable precision machining.
Moreover, advances in high-performance pressure-generating pumps are expanding their use in the semiconductor and hydrogen industries.

This technology enables high-speed, high-precision machining with compact machines. Beyond simply supplying equipment such as drilling and tapping units, 5-axis machining centers, ultrasonic machining machines, and deburring machines, we integrate digital technologies to design and build dedicated machines and automated systems from the ground up to meet customer challenges, enabling labor-independent production, high-mix low-volume manufacturing, high-speed machining of gigacast parts, and automated robot deburring. We contribute to signif icant improvements in productivity and competitiveness.

This technology uses water pressurized up to 500 bar to clean and remove burrs and chips from parts. Sugino Machine is the only company in the world that can design and build complete cleaning systems in-house, from high-pressure pumps and nozzles to piping and programming. Our high-pressure cleaning systems, essential for high-quality automotive production, are used by automotive manufacturers worldwide. Another use is infrastructure maintenance and renovation. This includes the selective removal of deteriorated concrete from reinforced concrete structures such as bridge piers and highways etc., as well as asbestos removal through the use of water pressurized up to 2,000 bar.

This technology smooths metal surfaces with rollers, creating a mirror finish without removing material while inducing compressive stress to improve wear resistance and fatigue strength. Unlike polishing, it produces no waste, making it a clean machining method suited to today’s needs. We are also developing new technologies, including our proprietary CASF technology for smoothing metal additive-manufactured (AM) parts by combining expertise in cavitation and abrasive, and CWJP (Cavitation Water Jet Peening), a peening technology using water alone.

This technology pulverizes raw materials by colliding them in opposing waterjet streams, reducing them to nanoscale particles. It enables the production of contamination-free fine particles for products requiring high purity, such as electronic components and pharmaceuticals. We also produce sustainable nanofiber materials in-house from cellulose, chitin, and chitosan, with applications expanding in building materials, sporting goods, chemicals, cosmetics, medical products, and health foods.

This technology physically and electrically connects equipment and production information using our proprietary industrial robots, transport carts, monitoring systems, and other technologies. From space-saving transport and automation to simulation technologies for verifying optimal operations in a virtual space and monitoring systems that visualize equipment operation in real time, we seamlessly connect people, equipment, processes, and information, contributing to higher productivity and building the foundation for next-generation manufacturing.
Our robots designed for harsh environments, with high water and dust resistance, are also used for maintenance at nuclear power plants and demonstrate their capabilities in fields such as civil engineering and agriculture.
