Plastics
Hardened materials
(Note that we do sometimes accept work in the areas above depending on the product shape or quantity, so feel free to contact us for more information.)
· Quantities
We excel at small-lot, high-mix, high-precision component machining. Contact us for work on prototypes or low-quantity (one or two units) machining of one-off components. Note that we are not well adapted to mass-production runs on the order of 1,000 or 10,000 units. We can take orders (provide delivery dates and costs) for runs of up to 200 to 300 units.
· Workpiece sizes
The maximum workpiece sizes we can work with at our sites are as follows:
Machining

The picture shows a complex-shape machined aluminum sample. The twisted hexagonal shapes were machined to enable these components to be used in combination as a screw. The three components were machined with high precision to prevent grinding. This product was entered in a contest for Japanese machine tool manufacturers.
Material: A5052
Machined on: NMV5000 DCG machine tool
Machining time: 120 minutes per unit
The photo shows a stainless steel equipment component. It was created with complex-shape machining, difficult on a vertical machining center. Their features include a partly crescent-shaped hole with a diameter of 16 mm and depth of 27 mm, a bottom-hole with stepped inner diameters of 6, 5 and 2.175 mm, and a slanting hole machined in the bottom rear face. This product was entered in a contest for Japanese machine tool manufacturers.
With a five-axis machining center and other cutting-edge equipment, we excel at producing high-mix, small-lot, high-precision components of precision-cutting aluminum or stainless steel, or low-workability materials, such as copper, titanium, Inconel, nickel, chrome and magnesium. We have an extensive track record in providing components for cutting-edge applications, such as manufacturing LC/semiconductor manufacturing equipment, automotive parts, special parts for racing cars and components for the aerospace industry.
What is shown in the picture is an engine component for Formula One racing. CPI provides decisive solutions to the problems of machining complex-shaped components needed to thoroughly reduce engine sizes and weights. We have an extensive track record of supplying key engine components such as core engine drive components, fuel pipes, and carburetors. Owning a wide range of cutting-edge equipment such as five-axis machining centers, we excel at machine-cut components with three-dimensional shapes, and can meet rush orders for one-off components.
This is a stainless steel nozzle component used for painting. It contains miniature machined holes of about 500 μm in diameter. CPI excels at machining high-precision miniature and complex-shape components. Our high-mix, small-lot production creates up to 3,500 types of prototypes and other components per month.
This is a stainless steel nozzle component used for painting. We machine continuous miniature grooves of about 300 μm wide. By never shying away from the toughest challenges set by our clients, CPI has accumulated expertise that enables us to excel at machine-cutting precision and miniature components used in equipment for manufacturing products such as LCs, semiconductors and solar batteries.
CPI machine-cuts large workpieces on gantry-type five-face machining centers, and with our extensive array of large machining equipment, such as table-type horizontal boring and milling machines and turning centers, we excel at machining large components.

Developed in 1991 by a British company, friction stir welding (FSW) is a clean and high-productivity metal bonding technology that produces weld seams of uniform quality with little deformation. It is used mainly for large products. Its use has grown dramatically worldwide, for manufacturing products such as shipping, airliners and railway rolling stock. In 2005, CPI signed a licensing agreement with the developer of FSW, and we are now using FSW as a new technology for the Company to help business expansion.
We have already used FSW in a parabolic antenna at a national astronomical observatory, where it was used to help create a ring-shaped aluminum frame of 3 meters in diameter. We have also used it semiconductor/LC substrate manufacturing equipment, and it has been invaluable for manufacturing a wide range of products such as:
· Aluminum vacuum chambers
· Large frames for LC substrate manufacturing equipment
· Aluminum covers and other large casings
· Heater blocks and cooling plates with aluminum-sealed metal pipes
FSW works by pressing down a high-speed rotating pin into the contact point between the two materials to bond. The frictional heat generated between the pin and the material softens and stirs the materials near the pin which leads to an integrated solid-phase bond to be formed after the pin is moved.
The main benefits of FSW are:
1. Unlike arc welding, bonds materials without melting, creating few weld defects such as residual stress or deformation.
2. Can bond aluminum alloys and copper alloys at low temperatures below their melting point.
3. The simple bonding process makes management easy.
4. Requires very low energy consumption.
5. Uses cheaper equipment than laser welding or electron beam welding.
