Introduction: Challenges in Automotive Parts Development
In the automotive parts development field, achieving both safety and short lead times is a constant challenge. For airbag components, which are directly linked to passenger safety, strict quality control and rapid prototype development are essential. However, frequent design changes during development and the pressure to shorten lead times due to global competition create significant challenges for manufacturers.
The Importance of Quality Management for Airbag Components
Electrogalvanized steel sheets are widely used in airbag components due to their:
✔ Excellent formability and weldability
✔ High corrosion resistance and surface quality
✔ Stable mechanical properties
To fully leverage these material properties, absolute quality assurance is required. Our philosophy as prototype development professionals is simple:
"These are life-saving components—there's no room for compromise on quality!"
Achieving Rapid Prototype Development with an Integrated Production System
We have built a fully integrated production system, handling everything from design and processing to assembly and inspection in-house. Here’s how we ensure speed and quality at each stage:
✔ Design Process
3D CAD systems (CATIA, NX11) for fast and precise design
Press forming simulation with JSTAMP for problem prediction
In-house mold and jig production with digital process planning for lead time reduction
✔ Processing Stage
High-precision machining using 5-axis 3D laser cutting machines
Stable press forming with large-scale presses (up to 1,200 tons)
Reliable welding assembly with a variety of welding techniques (Spot, MIG, MAG)
Welding robots with synchronized axes to maintain mass-production-level quality
✔ Quality Assurance System
Strict dimensional measurements in a temperature-controlled inspection room
100% inspection with large-scale 3D measurement machines
ISO9001-compliant quality management system
Customer Feedback & Real-World Solutions
"Our company was struggling with prototype quality and lead times, but consulting with you was the right decision!"
This is actual feedback from our customers. We have successfully resolved challenges in airbag component prototyping, such as:
★ Case 1: Shortened Lead Time
Reduced prototype delivery time from 4 weeks to 2 weeks
★ Case 2: Improved Quality
Reduced defect rates to 1/10 of the previous levels, ensuring stable quality
