  • Production of press stamping die.
    (After receiving orders, I commission local factories to manufacture goods under my overall technical supervision.)

  • Production of press stamped parts.
    (After receiving orders, I commission local factories to manufacture goods under my overall technical supervision.)

  • Medical hypodermal needles for use in intravenous drips.
  • Sensor-sleeves for anti-locking braking systems (ABS). (manufactured in stainless steel)
  • Small brass sleeves for electro-magnets.
  • Cone-shaped drawing cap for mass-produced propelling pencils.
Future
In the present economic climate old-fashioned, inefficient and costly production methods have to change and modernernize.
Press stamping is a valuable technique that can replace traditional methods such as milling, drilling, reaming, broaching, grinding, etc.
There is competitive demand for drawing, forging, cutting and complex in-die assembly.
APT Giken is now working on hard disk drives, mobile telephones, optical-electric elements, automobile fuel injection units tec.
