Yuki Precision machined parts are used in civilian aircraft in operation throughout the world, including exclusive supply parts.
In aerospace part production, meeting specifications on a design sheet is only a part of the process. Traceability is as important as the part itself.
It includes who, what, when and where how the part is made, mill sheets for each material used as well as how the part was measured for qualification.
We have details such as when our measuring instruments were last calibrated.
Unlike automotive components where a production lot would be in units of thousands, parts for aviation are limited to a much smaller lot orders, as low as just a hundred in a year.
While mass production may merit from specialized equipment and optimal material procurement to lower production costs, competitiveness in small lot production calls for creative and versatile usage of our equipment to realize short setup times.
Our compact operation with the right equipment manned by motivated staff enables us to produce competitive small lot quantities and meet strict controls without high overhead costs
Yuki Precision machined parts are used in defense related applications including sensor units for missile guidance and components for jet propulsion systems.
These parts require the same strict controls for processing as civilian counterparts, but the machining requirements are often more demanding.
Light weight components calls for thin walled structures machined in aluminum to micron tolerances. High temperature components require the use of special nickel based alloys notorious as difficult to machine.
Our capability allows us to serve these needs at even smaller lot orders.
Yuki Precision has cooperative relations with JAXA, Tokyo University and other civil space institutions to provide parts machined with full use of our skills.
Our parts have been used in various space technologies from satellite propulsion research to satellite frame body production.
Lightness is a must in space-going parts, where a kilogram translates into thousands of dollars for launch. Yet lightweight must not trade off strength needed to withstand violent launch forces, all the while enduring severe temperature changes.
The unique environment is always a challenge for component design. We work with the engineers to provide the cutting-edge in machining technology to design an optimum, without an astronomical budget.
A typical machine shop may seem far from the space industry, but our shop-floor engineering experience can help reach space.
