Kyocera Corporation is one of Japan's leading manufacturers of electronic components and electrical equipment, and its Shiga Yohkaichi Plant manufactures a wide variety of products, including fine ceramic components, machine tools, electronic components, and printing devices.

The company has introduced OneCNC many times in multiple departments in the same factory.

About the introduction and launch of OneCNC

Mr. Yokoyama joined the company in 2005 and was assigned to another division. After that, in 2011, he was assigned to the Mechanical Parts Manufacturing Section 2, and has been working as an NC programmer since 2013.

Initially, the department to which Mr. Yokoyama was assigned had three CAD/CAM systems, including OneCNC, but his predecessor's boss decided to introduce OneCNC, and after that Mr. Yokoyama himself started using OneCNC. I decided to do it.

At that time, Mr. Yokoyama was only in his second year of transfer, but he says that he was able to learn in a short time thanks to the easy-to-understand interface and excellent operability even for beginners.

Currently, no one in the same department uses other CAD/CAM, and it is unified to OneCNC.


Regarding the introduction of multiple OneCNC units in each department

Five OneCNC units have been installed in four departments within the Yokkaichi Plant of Kyocera Corporation.

When asked why OneCNC is currently being used in many departments in the factory, he said:

“At our company, a system called Amoeba Management*, which evaluates profits on a department-by-department basis, is pervasive. The decision criteria for introducing CAD/CAM is the same as processing machines, whether it will generate profits for the department.The final decision on introduction is made by the person in charge above However, system selection, examination, and proposals are also greatly involved in my position as the group manager (currently the section manager). I receive consultations from employees who are on good terms with the company, and I explain OneCNC at meetings, but in the end, it is not my ability, but rather the balance of each department that determines the outcome.

Like a processing machine, it is considered an expense, and I think OneCNC's ability to keep costs down was a big appeal of OneCNC.In addition to cost, OneCNC is very easy to operate, making it easy for beginners to use. However, it can be learned in a short period of time. I think it was also attractive from the perspective of other departments that new employees and employees who were transferred can immediately become effective.”(*)What is Amoeba.

Ameba Management, is a management method that subdivides a company organization into small groups (ameba) and operates each small group on a self-supporting basis.
It was created by the late Kazuo Inamori, the founder of Kyocera Corporation.

Kyocera Corporation, we asked for an interview because OneCNC is used as the main CAD/CAM in many departments in the same factory.

When I listened to the story, the background was the idea of ​​amoeba management, in which each department pursues profits on their own responsibility. is being evaluated.

Currently, Mr. Yokoyama is actively working on 5-axis machining using OneCNC's 5-axis option to make full use of the OneCNC function.
I think that Mr. Yokoyama's efforts will not be limited to the same department, but will spread to other departments, and will become an asset for the entire company.

We would like to do our best to help our company in the future.
Mr. Yokoyama, thank you for your cooperation.

先進加工設計是一家擁有建築，農業和航空航天行業優質零件設計，製造和加工經驗的機械車間。所有者Chris Berndt於2011年通過租用小型車庫大小的空間併購買了哈斯數控車間，開始了高級加工與設計。在2016年，他建立了一個新的設施，並增加了一個額外的哈斯數控銑床，Fanuc線切割機和Hurco數控車床。

克里斯在加工方面的豐富知識使他能夠圍繞自動化設備製造，模具（沖裁，漸進，成型模具）和機器固定項目建立核心業務。

“在經營自己的事業之前，我曾在一家大型窗口生產公司工作。擔任工具和模具製造商，然後擔任模具經理的領導角色，最終擔任製造工程經理的職務。通過這種發展，我已經能夠結合技能，戰略規劃和設計。“

克里斯決定，他想在CAM軟件中做100％的編程，他知道精簡和保持準確性的最佳方法是專注於一個CAM程序，使他能夠高效率地說：“我實際上設置了我的業務部分在我的軟件決定之下。

“當我們首先考察CAM系統的時候，我看了很多可能性。我的客戶幾乎每次給我提供零件設計。所以我確定我需要專注於找到一個能夠，成本效益和易於學習的CAM軟件包。“

“我在OneCNC上做了100％的編程，而在機器本身上卻沒有。 OneCNC是我業務成功的重要組成部分，對我的業務至關重要。該軟件超出了我的期望，我已經升級了4個不同的時間，每次出現新版本時都會這樣做。我有信心OneCNC不斷保持最新最偉大的技術曲線，這對我來說非常重要。這是一個有競爭力的業務，我需要能夠盡可能高效地製作最高品質的部件，OneCNC對我來說是一個很好的選擇，這是迄今為止我絕對最好的業務決策之一。

在他最近升級到XR7之後，Chris對新增內容感到非常滿意，“我做了一些非常複雜的幾何圖形，我還沒有遇到任何我無法以極高的質量生產的部分。它還利用非常有效的工具路徑。 Z級粗加工（高速加工）節省了無數美元的加工成本，非常有效地除去了材料，並且整理刀具路徑留下了美麗的完成。“

先進的加工和設計每一年都在增長，因為他們可以在當今競爭激烈的市場中回應客戶的需求。 “如果沒有像OneCNC這樣的工具，我會努力在我做的這個級別上生產，並且在短的交付週期內交付。我喜歡經營自己的事業所帶來的挑戰，我一直都在增長，並期待今年僱用另外一名員工。“

A＆A機器與開發公司於1972年由Eric Hymovitz的父親啟動。埃里克花了很多時間在商店，學習交易和掃地板;最終在1995年接管業務。位於加利福尼亞州的加達納，A＆A Machine的客戶包括商業和航空航天工業，使用鋁，黃銅，青銅，不銹鋼，碳鋼鑄造，鍛造和其他異國材料的材料。

“隨著我們的數控部門的增長，我知道我們需要更強大的軟件程序。從2-2.5D轉為3軸和4軸，技術支持的可用性以及我們正在成長中的店鋪所面臨的需求，我開始進行研究。我們切換到OneCNC，立即用軟件感到高效。我立即感謝OneCNC的易用性和存在的權力，因為易於使用。我們開始在較低層次的OneCNC上，在短時間內我們升級為同步的5軸，車床和電火花線切割機。“

由於Eric從OneCNC技術支持中獲得的幫助以及可用的培訓視頻，轉型順利。 Eric處理了這個30人店的大部分節目，“有時你會遇到一個特定的工作，而不知道如何解決它，而且我沒有人在我的肩上在店裡提供這些技術最適合工作，但是通過OneCNC的技術支持，您有一個人可以幫助您的零件有效的不同方法。確保我有一個背後的人給我信心，我可以做任何工作，遇到我的桌子。它有助於開發和擴大我們的商店，因為我們能夠進入我們可能有點害怕的工作，但是因為我們有OneCNC在我們身後，我們現在知道我們有能力承擔這些工作。“

“我們剛剛在十二月份購買了另外一台5軸機床，這是令人興奮的，因為我們的其他5軸機器總是很忙，落後於時間表，我們期待著今年的能力最大化。我知道我們將有一個美好的一年，在和我的客戶交談時，我知道他們將有一個美好的一年。我們是客戶的綜合供應商，並將持續很長時間，這些關係和他們對可靠性的看法對於A＆A機器的成功是有價值的。“
