D40D Die Project

Grand Max is minibus vehicle launch
at 2007 by Daihatsu Corp. in Indonesia.
Inside this car you can find a component
named is Oil Pan beside the engine.
For maintenance reason old oil came
out from that component before new
oil fill in to the engine tank.

And that is our first project. I quit in
2006 from my ex company KBU Corp
maker of car chassis part,car seat and
body shop for minibus and bus.
Oil Pan Assy contain of several part and must be assembly together by
welding process and mechanic joint. Daihatsu Corp point to Asno Horie
Corp to handle the assembly production and Asno Horie point to SJM
Corp for tooling (stamping die) manufactur and production that part
(Oil Pan Component). But after long negotiation between our team
and Asno Horie(of course we make impress them by show them our
partner facilities Politechnic Manufacturing ITB or my ex academy
that have such a high tech facility like PAMSTAMP and
CNC PlanoMill Mitsubishi), they decide to give the contract for die
manufacturing to us.

The progress it seem is like smoothly way but we realize many internal
affair involve in this project. You know money sometimes make people
side out the professionalism. First problem is the drawing doesn’t perfectly
convert to simple drawing that ready for machining. You know as
technician or engineer you want your design can transport to machining
process as simply as you can make so that will minimize human error
especially for precision part. And second is SJM refuse to trial the tooling
on their factory although the agreement mention that.. But thanks to
our partner Stalion Corp and Mr. Lily’s team we can accomplish this project.
My point is even in technical industry that suppose to be give high
priority on professionalism isnot like “politics” you know what I meant,
people is trapped in their esteem and of course belly’s problem.

If you want 3D this part , 3D stamping die for this part, checking fixture,
welding jig, schedule program or document quality system of this part
just feel free to contact me.
Thank you for reading this.
