Analysis Based on Scientific Knowledge

Data Utilization with LAS (Machining Optimization Support Service)

We provide high-quality products using our know-how in state-of-the-art manufacturing, leveraging our proprietary IoT devices and software like MULTI INTELLIGENCE®, COOL-i®, and Advanced Control®, as well as robots and networks. We specifically introduce MULTI INTELLIGENCE®, which plays a critical role in machining and joining.


MULTI INTELLIGENCE® enables the acquisition of data during machining and joining.
This also leads to quality assurance through the selection of optimal conditions, anomaly detection, and defect detection.

  

MULTI INTELLIGENCE®i-stir in action



Furthermore, MULTI INTELLIGENCE® is compatible with BT and HSK holders, allowing it to be used in most machining centers.
Since it allows for cutting with a machining center → joining with MULTI INTELLIGENCE®i-stir, it also reduces man-hours.

EV Related Products

With the shift to EVs in automobiles, FSW is increasingly used for joining body parts due to considerations for weight reduction and heat dissipation. Yamakin manufactures inverter cases (converter cases), battery cases, cooling panels, etc.

Semiconductor Related

The shape and design of heat sinks vary depending on the equipment and requirements they are used for, but a structure with ribs (vertical fin-like protrusions) or fins is generally common. This increases the surface area and promotes heat exchange with the air. Common applications include use in various electronic devices such as processors, graphics cards, power supplies, and integrated circuits (ICs). FSW enables the manufacture of long heat sinks, which are used in railways, large PCs, and servers.
