In response to the increasing demand for advanced processing in industries like IT, the downsizing of parts has progressed.
A major precision equipment manufacturer received a request to develop an ultra-compact machine with the surface area of a newspaper.
Despite being a small machine, it needed to withstand mass production, not just for research and development purposes.

The challenging task prompted a reevaluation of the conventional structure based on the following points:

Space-saving with a separate blade platform located in front of the main axis.
Symmetric and balanced low center of gravity design.
Flexible automation capabilities.

After successful development, the machine was showcased at JIMTOF (Japan International Machine Tool Fair), and it drew great attention from potential customers, including a production technology specialist from a major automotive parts manufacturer.
In the midst of a new trend where machine size was considered wasteful, it was said that this machine perfectly aligned with the new direction.

Following the delivery of a prototype to this customer's company, hundreds of units were delivered over the next decade.
Despite having limited transactions in the automotive parts industry before, the success led to establishing a sales office in Aichi Prefecture.
