Products
To meet various customer's requests such as "want to switch into spinning process" or "can you make a shape like this?," a variety of R&D machines are on standby in Nihon Spindle's Flow Forming Center (FFC). FFC is ready for prototyping or joint development with customers as well as development of own original technology.
