The seminar showcased advanced machining case studies from the global automotive sector, particularly from Europe. The event also included live demonstrations using Iscar’s cutting tools.

Among the highlights:

High-precision drilling using the head-changeable drill “SUMOCHAM”, suitable for camshaft machining
Machining of heat-resistant cast steel using specialized inserts
Use of a custom tool that enables boring and chamfering simultaneously

Following the technical program, a reception was held at a hotel in Kobe City, where participants exchanged insights and information.

Nobuyuki Komiya, President of Iscar Japan, stated, “Iscar’s policy is to be a partner in achieving cost reductions through high-efficiency machining. We hope this seminar supports our customers in lowering the cost of automotive component production.”
