Large-Diameter Carbide Knife (Eco Knife) / Slitting Process
Reduced cutting dust by over 99% even with an eco knife—achieving cost reduction and environmental benefits

The Customer's Problem

・Resolve the dust generation issue caused by cutting with chip saws.
・Improve material yield.

Our Approach

・Redesigned the product from the ground up to enable manufacturing in a knife configuration instead of a conventional blade.
・Carbide tips are brazed onto the outer periphery of the round knife; initially, issues such as tip detachment occurred frequently. However, through the development of a specialized brazing technique and the establishment of precise measurement methods for the brazed areas, stable product quality was achieved.
・As a result, both dust reduction and improved material yield were successfully realized.
