Why Xerom?
All metal dies are independently produced.
Xerom independently designs and produces metal dies. Metal dies are basic to pressing. Metal die components are basic to metal dies, and metal parts are basic to metal die components. This explains why Xerom produces high-quality and high-precision metal dies on its own, with the use of the latest processing equipment. A 3D measuring machine with a resolution of 0.2 micrometers was introduced at an early stage, and metal dies are produced with exhaustive quality control.
Precision of 5 µm
The precision of metal die components is ± 2 µm and the synthetic precision of our metal dies is ± 5 µm.
This means that precision of ± 5 µm is provided, although this varies depending on the product.
Processing of 25 µm ultra-thin foil
(The photo shows a 40 µm model.)
Our thick foil has an approximate thickness of 1 mm, although it may vary with the material. If any thin foil is desired, we will produce foil with the minimum thickness of 25 µm. For precise thickness, please contact us.
Familiarity with different materials to offer the required functions and characteristics
To provide the required functions and characteristics principally from the materials listed below, we not only perform pressing but also make improvements to materials in collaboration with manufacturers. We are able to provide a full range of functions and characteristics in consideration of surface finish and other post-processing.
Aluminum, nickel and nickel alloys (kovar, 42 alloy, 50 alloy, kovar, permalloy, inconel, cupronickel), clad materials (silver & kovar), copper and copper alloys (oxygen-free cooper, tough pitch copper, beryllium copper, phosphor bronze, nickel silver, high strength copper alloy, brass), steel (SPCC, SPCD, SPCE), stainless steel (SUS 301, SUS 304, SUS 316, SUS 430, SUS 410), precious metals (gold, silver plate, silver alloy, palladium) and others (amorphous, titanium, molybdenum)
A factory at Shodoshima in the Setonaikai Sea, sometimes referred to as Japan’s Aegean Sea
Xerom’s principal factory is located on the island of Shodoshima. It is a scenic island with olive flowers in the Setonaikai Sea, sometimes referred to as Japan’s Aegean Sea. The Shodoshima-spirit supports Xerom’s artisanal excellence.
It is conveniently located, just three-and-a-half hours from Tokyo by aircraft via Takamatsu, or four hours from Nagoya by bullet train via Okayama.
Production volumes from 1 to 10 million units
Xerom responds to a wide range of orders, including orders for prototyping and for mass production of 100 units to a million or more units per month.
We can also achieve monthly production of 30 million units of the same model.
Starting with development and prototyping
Xerom naturally responds to requests for development and prototyping. In this case, we start by producing prototype dies. Depending on the product, however, mass production may result in greater cost effectiveness and product quality than producing prototype dies.
A one-millimeter product
(The photo shows a product with dimensions of 1.3 mm x 1.2 mm x 0.3 mm.)
Xerom is capable of producing very small products, although a final decision cannot be made before studying the drawings and the required quality. Xerom has a policy of providing products with quality that can be checked using a microscope. The processing size ranges from 10 cm x 10 cm to about 1 mm x 1 mm, although this varies with the processing method.
This is in the domain of micromachining.
Implications behind the company name of Xerom
Our name “Xerom” is coined by combining “X” with “EROM.” “EROM” stands for “Excellence-ROM.” The ideal ROM, in other words. It is associated with knowledge, experience and the digital world.
“X” symbolizes the heart, which lies in the analog world. It is a notion of the way to happiness. The power from the heart is willpower. It is the origin of wisdom and creativity.
Xerom joins X with the knowledge and experience in EROM to strive to achieve the zenith of artisanal excellence.
