Aluminum Parts Production - Process Flow: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
FOUNDRY-Production of Aluminum bars are melted to produce molten in our furnaces. The molten is then distributed to our die cast machines via a special cart. Each YSC die cast machines has a holding oven attached - into which molten aluminum is poured from the cart.▼▼ | k DIECAST - After the metal has solidified in the die cavity, the plunger is withdrawn, the die opens and the casting is ejected. A complete die casting cycle varies, depending on the size of the parts being made. Yanagawa uses 350T, 650T and 800T die cast machines in its raw parts production processes. Die cast raw parts are produced according to the customer's exact specifications. Parts are checked through out the manufacturing processes by our Quality Control department to ensure compliance. Some parts require removal of metal flashing before moving to the next manufacturing process. This is done by Die Cast Deburr associates or automatic trimming systems.►► |
The die cast machine operator inspects each part when it is removed from the machine. Parts that pass in-process checks are then are moved to our Computer Numeric Control (CNC) Department for final stages of processing which includes machining and packaging. ▼▼ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
We use a cold chamber process: The molten metal is poured into a "cold chamber," or cylindrical sleeve, by an automatic ladle. A hydraulically operated plunger seals the cold chamber port and forces metal into the locked die at high pressures. As the plunger moves downward it seals the port and forces molten metal into the die cavity. The part is formed according to specification programmed into the machine. (continued at top of - next column ...) | l
CNC (Computer Numeric Control)- In our CNC department parts are milled and machines to exact customer specifications. They are inspected by the operator who also loads them into shipping containers. They are then picked up and prepared for shipping and receiving. |
Assembly - Some parts have components added before they are packed and ship to our customers. Most parts are packed on line. Our Quality Control Department (following established specifications) performs two hour checks and testing of all manufacturing processes and parts. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
RIM (Wheel) PRODUCTION - PROCESS FLOW: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Our ATV wheels start off as coils or rolls of steel which are then cut to length and welded. The process that shaped them into wheels is completely automated. Rims are made in sets - there are front and back wheels in each set. ►► |
|
l Each wheel is measured, inspected and tested before they are placed into shipping carts. They are then delivered to our customer's supplier who paints them and and performs other assembly processes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Throughout our manufacturing processes the following departments perform operations in support - they help to ensure that production departments maintain quality, efficiency, order and cleanliness, proper functionality of equipment and that we stay in compliance to regulatory and customer standards:
