As a special tool manufacturer, we offer valve finishers that realize traverse machining of valve seat surfaces, which requires high required accuracy, through the elemental technologies we have cultivated and highly reliable manufacturing. The slider, which is the key to traverse processing, employs a unique mechanism to stabilize processing accuracy over a long period of time. We have also developed quick-change and ATC specifications, contributing to “multi-product support” and “productivity improvement”.
That's the point!
Traverse processing of valve seat & valve guide in one process
Excellent!
Process ①: Plunge machining of relief surface
Process ②: Seat surface traverse finishing
Process ③: Valve guide hole finishing with reamer
That's the point!

Development / product concept
“Current status and challenges”
Valve finishers capable of traverse processing were mainly made overseas, and there were problems with tool unit price, delivery time, and after-sales support.
In addition, when setting up the machine on the equipment spindle, the installation work was complicated, and lot of time was needed to change the tool.
“Development points”
As a manufacturer of special tools, we have achieved domestic production of “traverse-type valve finishers” through our superior manufacturing technology and highly reliable manufacturing.
In addition, we have developed a unique traverse mechanism to reduce maintenance costs by extending the service life of the traverse, thereby solving problems at the manufacturing site.
The quick-change elemental technology cultivated in tool manufacturing is incorporated into the valve finisher, contributing to improved usability in tool changing.
