Case study of introducing processed products: Request for extending the lifespan of conveyor rollers.
We will introduce a case of producing rollers specialized in wear resistance with a limited budget!
During discussions with an automation equipment manufacturer, we caught wind of the information that "a certain component is experiencing early wear and requires countermeasures, but we are struggling to find improvement solutions." Here, we would like to introduce a case where we responded to the client's request for extending the lifespan of conveyor rollers within a limited budget. We recalled that during a project aimed at extending the lifespan of cutting tools, we had formed a metal coating with properties harder than the tool itself on the surface, and decided to proceed with surface treatment considerations. We consulted with Company A, a processing contractor renowned for its expertise in surface modification technology, and under the theme of "creating low-cost rollers specialized for wear resistance," both companies discussed the manufacturing process. Next, we explained the manufacturing process to the automation equipment manufacturer and moved on to prototype evaluation. As a result, a low-cost and high-performance product was completed. [Results were favorable] - By using inexpensive materials for the roller body and applying superalloy only to the surface, we achieved low cost and wear resistance. - Simultaneous grinding and finishing of the sprayed area and the bearing sections at both ends of the roller resulted in a high-performance product with minimized rotational runout. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
basic information
【Request Details】 ■Product Name: Conveying Roller ■Issue: For the "conveying roller" used to transport metal parts weighing approximately 20 kilograms to the next process, both the parts and the roller are made of metal, causing wear at the contact points between the roller and the parts, leading to frequent replacement work. ■Request: To achieve continuous transport, we want to enhance the durability of the roller, but the budget is limited. ■Current Situation: We have been changing the material to harder ones for prototype evaluation, but we have not been able to achieve the desired results. 【Summary】 We were able to leverage our experience in the production of custom-made parts to connect the client with specialized processing companies. This has become a prime example of the unique capabilities of Bandai, which has extensive experience and a wide procurement network. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
