Features

Far from relying solely on our composite material technology, we take on monozukuri (manufacturing) with a complex of technologies, making full use of our expertise in machinery, fluid, control, electrical, electronics, and other fields.

With our R&D and manufacturing facilities and staff capable of responding quickly to broad-ranging development requirements, we can implement in-house an array of processes from planning and design of carbon composite products to prototyping, evaluation, and completion.

Production systemMore

We evaluate the validity of applying carbon composites based on a full understanding of the technical requirements and background of the products to be developed. Through preliminary simulation (structural analysis), we determine the effects of the application of carbon composites.

Analysis and design processMore

Quick development is a special strength of TCM that makes full use of the nimbleness and the design and prototype processes we have evolved through our experience in racing car development.

Autoclave molding, a TCM specialty, is a manufacturing method that, while best bringing out the performance and reliability of carbon composites, is regarded as costly in terms of required facilities and labor. However, through the use of proprietary design know-how, improved processing methods, and our utilization of CMTH, we have been able to lower the cost of this manufacturing method to make it the most realistic method for realizing our products.

Pursuit of the actual commercialization of products We aim to achieve the commercialization of products, including ones for which it is not possible to achieve a reasonable cost-performance balance simply through the use of different materials and weight reduction, through our know-how and development capabilities making full use of the unique characteristics of carbon composites in an integrated manner.

Various productsMore

Products that can successfully be made only of carbon composites are extremely rare. At TCM, we efficiently achieve the functional, performance, and cost requirements of each product through judicious selection of the best materials, such as metals and resins. This approach and know-how come from racing car technology, which prioritizes function and performance above all else.

By closely collaborating with material manufacturers, we are able to procure excellent Japanese-made carbon fiber materials quickly and at reasonable cost and realize appropriate laminated structures.

For issues related to composites, we also use research institutions such as affiliated manufacturers, material manufacturers, universities and so on, in addition to the Toray technical team, to quickly investigate causes and take appropriate measures.

In addition to ISO 9001 certification, we acquired JIS Q 9100 certification. Furthermore, we obtained Nadcap, which is the special process certification program for composites in the international aerospace industry, and Boeing’s composite material molding process certification and supplier certification. We established a complete traceability system that we strictly apply to all our products.

Our inspection system uses quantitative inspection through the latest measuring technology (CMM, laser, FFT, ultrasonic flaw detection, X-ray, and so on), ensuring a superlative standard unique to carbon composites.

Inspection EquipmentMore

Mass production requires a system and an orientation that differ from trial production. The products we develop, after being prototyped at TCM, are batched to CMTH in Thailand, maintaining the same construction methods and procedure as those of TCM to achieve stable mass production at low cost.
