NACHI-FUJIKOSHI CORP.

In October 2007, Nachi-Fujikoshi launched its latest energy and space-saving product, the MICRO FINISHER MF650. This machining system for high-precision surface finishing can be flexibly applied to mixed-line production such as automobile engine production lines that use many kinds of components.

Nachi-Fujikoshi's MICRO FINISHER machining system can provide super accurate finishing surface and rounding of cylindrical shapes by applying high-speed polishing with abrasive-coated polishing film that is pressed by a shoe. The series currently offers on the market three machining system models. They have been used in the finishing process for engine components such as crankshafts and are highly evaluated by our customers.

The newly developed MICRO FINISHER MF650 model can greatly improve productivity and lower costs through its energy and space-saving features. It also has the unique function of flexibility to serve on the min-edmixedcomponent lines.

• While improvingreducing the surface roughness, it works on shaping-correctioncorrect shaping such as roundness and straightness.
  (the Ffinish roughness: Ra0.04 micrometers or less and / the Ffinish roundness: 1.5 micrometer sor less.)

• Drastically save reduces the space by downsizing the machining system and the accessories
  (such as hydraulic and coolant equipments.)
  Required floor space: 5.6 square meters. (10.2 square meters is required for a conventional type.)
  Weight: 4 tons, that is 45% less than that 7 tons of a conventional type (7 tons).
• Power consumption is reduced by approximately 50% due to the hydraulic unit and coolant system developed and produced within Nachi-Fujikoshi.
  Volume of the hydraulic unit: 20 litters or 50% less than 40 litters required the for conventional system.
  Volume of the coolant: 185 litters, or 40% less than 300 litters required for the conventional system.
  Required power: 5.6 kVA. (The conventional system requires 11.6kVA.)

It is very flexible for a quick changes of work satisfying the customers' needs for a mixed-lines production of the many different machining processes.

• MF650 can automatically switch the film pitches.
• The area of the machining tools loaded with the film is bind into a cassette to shorten the time to change the tools required for different workpieces.

• The Rrequired system size: 1,500 mm (width) x 1,600 mm (height) x 3,700 mm (depth)
• The maximum number of the tool-cassettes to be loaded: 11
• Scope of the applicable work specification (in case of the crankshaft)
• Length: 350 mm to 650 mm
• Width: 15 mm to 50 mm
• Maximum diameter: 95 mm
• Supported pitch: 31mm to 51.5 mm

With the newly launched MF650 as a the core of the MICRO FINISHER Seriesseries, we will develop our market access in the construction and other industrial machine machinery area fields in addition to developing customers in the global automobile industry. By 2010, we aim to increase the total sales of MICRO FINISHER series to 160% of that of the presentcurrent sales.
