Sheet Metal Division
Laser machine
Laser machines use a laser beam to perforate, cut, and weld sheet metal. Until now, the lasers used have mostly been carbon dioxide gas lasers (CO2 lasers), but recent years have seen the appearance of many machines fitted with fiber lasers for energy-saving and increased speed and efficiency.
Punching machine (Numerical control turret punch press : NCT)
Punching machines punch holes of round, square, and other shapes in sheet metal and cut it into various forms. The blade section that makes holes and cuts is known as the tool. During processing, the large number of dies mounted in the turret are used for different purposes.
Press brake
Press brakes, or bending machines, use an upper and a lower tooling to clamp sheet metal and bend it.
Shearing machine
Shearing machines cut metal sheets into any size by shearing.
Tooling
Broadly speaking, there is a tool for punching and a tool for bending, with the punch toolings (above) and the die (below) operating as a pair.
Software / Automation / Peripheral equipment
Software for process programming, production control, computer-assisted design and manufacture (CAD/CAM), networking, and other purposes; computer numerically controlled (CNC) devices to control the sheet metal processing machines; material-handling robots and material shelves that enable automation and systemization, etc.
Solution pack
A product package designed for maximize effect of the AMADA Group’s virtual prototype simulation system (VPSS) at the core of its digital manufacturing system. It includes the latest and most advanced machinery with peripheral devices, toolings, and software, as well as a range of operational support systems.
Maintenance and servicing
Our nationwide network and high-quality service capabilities provide support for the whole machine lifecycle. We cover emergency situations with a 24-hour service desk to ensure the reliable operation of customer machinery.
Metal Cutting Division
Band saw machine
Band saw machines use a band saw blade to cut metal rods and structural steel.
Band saw blade
A band-shaped saw blade used for cutting steel. Depending on the material to be cut, there is a wide variety of blades, which are developed in conjunction with the machine to meet customer needs.
Cutting oil
Cutting oil is a solution used in cutting to reduce friction. It also has a cooling effect and acts to remove metal chips. We have a wide range of different types for different applications.
Press Division
Stamping press
Stamping presses form materials such as metal sheets into the shape of toolings by applying pressure. They are used for processing items such as terminal pins and other electronic products and automotive parts with complex shapes.
Stamping press equipment
Our stamping press equipment includes coil processing line systems that flatten coil material and send it in fixed lengths to press machines, and robot lines that transport workpieces between presses. It is used for processing components, from precision parts to automotive frame parts.
Spring machine
Spring machines can mold different shapes, from compression springs, torsion springs, and extension springs to miniature wire work. They are used widely to make precision parts, from the spring that supports the ball of a ballpoint pen to essential parts for the semiconductor manufacturing process, as well as the guidewires for medical catheters.
Grinding Division
Grinding machine
A processing machine that shaves the surface of the workpiece with a rotating grinding wheel to give a high-precision finish. These machines are used to process machine dies and tools.
Profile grinder
Profile grinding is one of the methods for processing precision toolings and is used to create high-precision toolings of complex shape. An image of the workpiece shown on a projector is enlarged to create a product drawing illustrating the product shape to guide the grinding process.
Micro Welding Division
Laser welder
Fiber laser welders focus a laser excited in the oscillator on a workpiece and melt and weld the irradiated area. Because of their microscopic focusing ability, they are used to process precision parts for automotive components and electronic devices and in the aviation and medical fields. As well as fiber lasers, welders also include yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) lasers and direct diode lasers (DDL).
Laser marker
This equipment performs marking (printing and engraving), peeling, deburring, trimming, and other processes using lasers.
Fine spot welder
A device that joins stacked metal pieces together by applying pressure at the same time as causing them to melt by passing an electric current to produce heat via resistance.
