FOUK Grippers Application Case in Forging Industry: Tianjin Rijin Automotive Systems Customized Solution

Application Area: Automotive Forging | Client: Tianjin Rijin Automotive Systems Co., Ltd. | Core Product: FOUK Customized Corrosion-Resistant and Dust-Proof Grippers

Client Background: A Quality Pursuer in the Automotive Forging Industry

Tianjin Rijin Automotive Systems Co., Ltd. focuses on the R&D and production of automotive axles and precision forged parts, and is a core supplier to many mainstream automakers. Their production process requires precise gripping and transfer of high-temperature forged parts, placing stringent requirements on the durability, stability, and adaptability of the grippers.

Core Pain Points: Production Challenges Caused by Corrosion and Wear

 1. Harsh Environmental Corrosion: Alkaline release agents and metal dust adhere to the production site for extended periods, easily causing corrosion and jamming issues in traditional grippers, directly affecting production continuity.

2. Limitations of Imported Products: The previously used German and Korean grippers had insufficient corrosion resistance, with an average service life of only 3-4 months. Frequent replacements led to increased downtime losses, with annual after-sales maintenance costs exceeding one million yuan.

3. Insufficient Response Efficiency: Customization cycles for imported brands are typically 3-6 months, failing to meet the rapid R&D needs of customers for new product iterations.

FOUK Customized Solution: A Corrosion-Resistant and Durable Solution Delivered in 60 Days For Tianjin Rijin's unique production environment, FOUK assembled a dedicated technical team to create a customized gripper solution centered on "rapid response + precise adaptation":

1. Upgraded Materials and Coatings: Utilizing 7075 aerospace-grade aluminum alloy as the base material, the surface is coated with a special ceramic anti-corrosion coating, improving the alkali corrosion resistance to level 5 or higher according to GB/T 10125-2021 standards, effectively resisting mold release agent corrosion.

2. Optimized Structural Dustproofing: An innovative labyrinthine dustproof structure, combined with a lip seal ring for double protection, achieves an IP65 metal dust protection rating, preventing wear on internal transmission components.

3. Rapid Customization Guarantee: From requirements gathering and solution design to sample delivery, it takes only 60 days, with simultaneous installation, commissioning, and operation training to ensure seamless integration with the customer's production line.

Application Results: 50% Increased Lifespan, Significantly Reduced Costs

1. Significantly Improved Durability: FOUK's customized grippers have an actual lifespan of 6-8 months, more than 50% longer than previous German and Korean products, reducing equipment downtime and replacement frequency by 60%.

2. Optimized Maintenance Costs: Annual maintenance and replacement costs have been reduced to below 400,000 RMB, a 60% reduction, with a return on investment period of only 4.5 months.

3. Increased Production Efficiency: The gripper's repeatability is consistently maintained at ±0.03mm. Combined with rapid-response after-sales support, overall production line efficiency is increased by 12%.
