Yamanaka Gokin, a leading company in mold design, manufacturing, and plastic processing CAE simulation, has introduced its "Forging Product Development Site" (https://www.yamanaka-eng.co.jp/business/forging-dev/). This platform provides solutions to common challenges faced by engineers, such as the need for lightweighting, high strength, shorter development cycles, and cost reduction. The site showcases the company's expertise in converting processes from cutting to forging, achieving significant reductions in manufacturing steps and improved accuracy, as seen in bevel gear serration. Other examples include deep hole processing with an L/D ratio of 10x, which significantly reduces costs and weight, and the one-shot forging of complex shapes using proprietary mold structures and multi-axis presses, contributing to manufacturing cost reduction. Yamanaka Gokin, established in 1961 and headquartered in Higashiosaka, Osaka, specializes in the design and manufacture of various forging dies, sales and support of DEFORM CAE simulation software, and related equipment.
