Case Studies

AAP introduced two units of the LCS-15, Okuma's compact CNC lathe, in its machining section at the time of its establishment. Regarding the reason for introducing them, Mr. Hans Honggo, President and CEO of AAP, said, "I had known of Okuma for long time because it is a well-known brand in the industry. Lathes manufactured by Okuma are useful because they can handle heavy-duty cutting even though they are compact."
Then, in 2015, AAP introduced an MCR-A5CⅡ double-column machining center (5-face machining) for press die machining of inner frames for cars. This machine was developed mainly for high-accuracy and high-production machining of large parts based on Okuma's unique double-column structure, which provides high rigidity. Its machining accuracy is stable even with temperature changes in the environment (Thermo-Friendly Concept). In addition, the auto tool changer (ATC) and auto attachment head changer (AAC) enable continuous machining to increase productivity. Demonstrating his confidence in the machine, Mr. Hans Honggo stated, "We are extremely pleased, as not only the machining accuracy but also the rigidity and durability are higher than we expected."
