Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. decided on July 2022 to upgrade its 'ALNEX ANX Series' with a new WS Type wiper blade that uses a chemical vapour deposition (CVD) single-crystal diamond 'SUMICRYSTAL V SCV10' as its cutting edge. This will enable the organisation to produce high-quality surface finish aluminium components for the automotive, electronics, energy and industrial sectors.
Sumitomo's high-efficiency cutter for aluminium alloys, the ALNEX ANX Series, upon installation of the single-crystal diamond at its cutting edge, can successfully produce burr-free mirror finished products, giving the company an advantage over its competitors. With the upgradation, Sumitomo has also expanded its product line-up.
In the last few years, the automotive industry has been looking for ways to reduce the weight of their particular components, and this is where the non-ferrous metal aluminium comes to play. Aluminium's malleable properties and the fact that it can be infinitely recycled are drawing large corporations towards the usage of this metal.
Based in Japan, Sumitomo Electric Group is an international conglomeration of 415 group companies scattered in forty countries worldwide. The company started in 1897 with Sumitomo Electric Industries leading the business from Osaka. The company originally used to manufacture copper wires for electric cables, and from there, they have expanded to avenues like info-communications, automotive, electronics, environment and energy and industry materials. The Group has an employee count of 280,000 people on a global scale.
Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd. promises to serve high-quality surface products with its enhanced cutting efficiency and longer tool life.
