CORPORATE PROFILE(英語版)
19/40

18Aluminum components for airplanes and rockets are very long and wide and require extremely precise measurements. To ensure these conditions are met, very powerful indirect extrusion presses are needed. Among only a dozen or so of such presses currently operating in Japan, UACJ owns eight, and works to meet the needs of the aerospace industry by making use of its huge 5,600-ton extrusion press and Swindell quenching furnace. At the same time, UACJ’s extrusion business supplies high-quality parts and components with highly accurate dimensions, including small parts for motorcycles and office equipment.UACJ has been building up expertise in aluminum alloys and mold design through many years of experience and is applying it to extrude irregularly shaped items and thin materials, and to extrude machine objects that are difficult to form because they have multiple passages inside. For example, UACJ manufactures multi-hole tubing for automotive heat exchangers with thinner materials in order to reduce weight and improve heat transfer, which are key challenges facing customers. CLOSEUPMeeting demand for automotive parts with advanced equipment and technologiesUACJ has installed state-of-the-art extrusion presses that meet strict specifications for dimensional precision required for automotive parts, industrial devices, and transportation machinery. By making the most of this top-grade equipment and the latest technologies, the Company is producing high-quality extruded products while capturing brisk demand for automotive parts.
