「Miniature Precision Ball Screw」　KSS Co., Ltd.
We highly appreciated the high level of processing and assembly skill for the mass production of small ball screws used in the joints of medical robots. The high accuracy becomes clear from the difficult inner diameter nut machining, the assembly of fine parts, and the smooth joint movement.

「Ultra-fine Brass Hair」　TOTO LTD.
It's impressive to see brass machined into a fine φ0.06 mm rod shape of 45 mm length only on a normal lathe. Clearly, the processing method was carefully adjusted with chip disposal and workpiece deflection in mind.

「Metal Phoenix」　CASTEM CO., LTD
It takes a high level of skill and artistry to machine such a fine and complex phoenix out of ultra-hard material. The tips of the wings capture a sense of movement, and the eyes, feet, and tail show great detail.

「Metal Rose」　Industrial Research Institute of Shizuoka Prefecture, Hamamatsu
This artistic piece was realized by scanning flower roses with X-ray CT and 3D modeling the inner structure and thin shape of the petals. The creation of the 3D model, the adjustment of the support structures, and the selection of the processing conditions, including surface treatment, are well done.

「Differential Gear」　Chubu University
This module 0.1 mm-differential gear was realized with a high level of processing and assembly skill. The gear movement is smooth and delicate. Also, as a university, the processing and creation of fine gears makes for excellent teaching material.
