Headquartered in Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, "Enshu" is a machine tool manufacturer that has a reputation for high speed, high rigidity, and high productivity. The evaluation from the market is high, including the production of the vertical No.30 machining center "WE30Ve" at the Thai factory.
On the other hand, in Thailand's ever-growing manufacturing business, demand for high-performance machines has risen even higher. "EV450Te" , the vertical No.40 machining center developed with the full force of the company, is a high-spec product that meets these needs. The head of the sales department talks about its attractive points.
“The special demand for reconstruction following the 2011 Flood has dramatically changed the manufacturing industry in Thailand--from assembly to local production, each part came to be manufactured in Thailand. However, for parts with high difficulty, Japanese technology is essential. These parts (spindle and NC) are imported from Japan, but the locally produced parts are of the same quality as Japan.
Also, our M / C does not break. Since the factory is located in Thailand, our customers have evaluated the availability of consumable parts and the ease of maintenance. Our EV450Te continues to be evaluated today.'' Said Mr. Tomoki Kurematsu, Sales Manager, who is in his fourth year in Thailand. He has been witnessing the growth of the Thai manufacturing business, which continues to grow rapidly.
The recent production of parts in Thailand is that the diameter of workpieces, such as auto parts and compressor parts, has gotten larger. The difficulty level has become higher than in the past, and it has relied on imports until a short time ago, but local production is progressing due to the popular adoptions of high-spec machines such as the No.40 machining center.
EV450Te has high speed of 50m/min, high rigidity of maximum torque 117Nm, and high productivity with total cycle time reduced by up to 44%. It has realized satisfactory operation performance. In addition, its processing ability of objects widely range from iron to castings and aluminum; thus, it has versatility for manufacturing parts in a wide variety of industries. It can be said to be one that complements the No.30 machining center that has widespread market penetration supporting future development. It has excellent affinity with peripheral devices and equipment and is compatible with system upgrades such as index tables and jigs.
Mr. Kurematsu, who has a great deal of experience in the mechanical design section, is a specialist who has been involved in jig special design and PE (project engineer) for a total of 20 years. His accurate sales advice that have understood the needs of customers has been appreciated.
With competitors also introducing the same-performance machines to the market, competition is intensifying as never before. However, there is no panic in the staff, including Mr. Kurematsu. “Our company has a high-spec service system that surpasses others. The presence of highly technical engineers is a major factor for us to be selected. With COVID-19 making business trips from Japan difficult nowadays, I would like to appeal to Thai manufacturers that Enshu has the highest technical capabilities that cannot be matched in all of Thailand."
