Big Daishowa Opens New Facility To Expand Capacity
The 49,500-square-meter plant in Awaji, Japan is designed to meet production needs and accommodate future growth.
Big Daishowa Seiki Co. Ltd. recently opened its ninth production plant at its Awaji, Japan, manufacturing facility. The 49,500-square-meter plant is designed to meet production needs and accommodate future growth.
The facility is equipped with 21 multitasking machines and 23 automatic lathes, as well as a VIP center to host visitors and highlight Big Daishowa’s technologies and innovations.
According to the company, the initial production target is 20,000 tools per month, with potential to double this output. Production will focus on BBT and BT toolholders in taper sizes 30-50.
Automation plays a key role in the plant’s operations. Robots and automation streamline material handling, increasing efficiency, providing consistent quality and improving process reliability.
Big Daishowa says environmental sustainability is a priority at the new facility. A central filtration system recycles coolant at several places throughout the facility. Advanced air purification systems capture and treat oil mist in the machines to maintain a clean factory environment and minimize emissions.
