We are one of Japan‘s leading cutting tool manufacturers and have specialized in mold and die making for over 40 years. Our innovative cutting tool portfolio covers the entire process chain. Increasing time and cost pressures require shorter process times and more efficient machining methods. Our specially developed Production50 method examines current production processes to provide a new perspective on the entire manufacturing workflow and uncover opportunities for optimization.
The dies for pressing bipolar plates are crucial, as they significantly influence the quality, precision, and efficiency of the produced plates.
Surface quality: The surface characteristics of the bipolar plates directly impact the electrochemical reactions. High-quality dies provide a smooth and uniform surface, which enhances the performance of the plates.
Precise geometry: The dies ensure that the bipolar plates meet the required dimensions and tolerances. Accurate geometry is essential for the optimal functioning of the plates in fuel cells and batteries.
Production speed: High-quality pressing dies enable faster and more cost-effective production of bipolar plates. This is particularly important in mass production to improve economic efficiency.
