Equipment
Yamaha Motor's casting is ideal for parts requiring reductions in weight and component numbers.
Benefits Based on
Real-world Examples
-
: Integration
The number of the components reduced from 120 to 2, and a roughly 98% reduction of components count.
-
: Weight Reduction
We have achieved 30% weight reductions.
What you can achieve
with Yamaha
- Mass-production of large, thin-walled parts
- Reduced weight
- Fewer components needed
- Lower manufacturing costs
- Casting
-
-
Controlled Filling(CF) Die-Casting
Reduces weight by about 30% and roughly 90% reduction in the number of components needed for a part. Its use can typically reduce manufacturing costs by about 20%.
-
Cylinder Heads
One-piece cylinder head greatly contributes to a more compact and less costly engine.
-
- Forging
-
-
Forged Aluminum Pistons
Selection criteria for raw materials, special manufacturing methods and improved die and mold durability - all this leads to success in producing forged aluminum pistons at a much lower cost.
