Automotive-parts supplier Nissin Precision North America (NPNA), located in Englewood, OH, has significantly enhanced its manufacturing capabilities with the installation of two state-of-the-art production lines. These new lines are dedicated to stamping hybrid vehicle battery components, a critical element in advancing eco-friendly automotive technology.
At the heart of each production line is a Nidec Kyori SS-8 high-speed press, a cutting-edge machine designed for precision and reliability. The press features an eccentric load support system using a precise eight-point slide guiding mechanism, ensuring durability and accuracy even under high-speed operations. Its wide bolster accommodates multistep progressive dies, allowing for the production of complex parts. Additionally, the press boasts dynamic accuracy, with specific measurements of thermal displacement and bottom-dead-center repeatability, ensuring consistent performance and high-quality output.
To complement the high-speed presses, the new production lines include a sophisticated downstream process that ensures both efficiency and quality. Once parts are stamped, they move through an extensive water-based washing system designed to remove contaminants and prepare them for further processing. Robotic automation then seamlessly transfers the cleaned parts to NPNA’s proprietary high-speed inspection system.
The inspection system can perform 100% quality checks on nearly 4 million parts each month. This ensures that every component meets the company’s stringent quality standards, underscoring NPNA’s commitment to precision and reliability in its products.
Nidec Kyori presses are a trusted technology for Nissin Precision, with 15 similar units already operational in Nissin Kogyo plants across Asia. Their proven track record made the Kyori SS-8 presses an ideal choice for NPNA’s new production lines in North America. This strategic investment reflects NPNA’s dedication to advancing hybrid vehicle technology and strengthening its position as a leader in precision automotive component manufacturing.
By combining advanced machinery, automation, and robust quality assurance processes, NPNA is poised to meet the growing demand for hybrid vehicle components while maintaining its industry excellence reputation.
