Patent number: 11440154Abstract: This document discloses a system and method for polishing a metal surface, using a grinding machine and a burnishing machine. The grinding machine comprises an arm coupled with a grinding wheel for grinding the internal surface of a workpiece, an arm rotation drive block configured to drive rotation of the arm around its longitudinal axis, an arm movement drive block configured to move the arm longitudinally and vertically, and rollers for rotating the workpiece around its cylindrical axis via friction with an external surface of the workpiece. The arm comprises a fixed main shaft, a universal joint shaft and a head section coupled with the grinding wheel, wherein the head section is configured to oscillate vertically, allowing the grinding wheel to follow up-and-down fluctuations of the workpiece. The burnishing machine is configured to tumble the workpiece including a tumbling detergent and tumbling beads therein.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2018Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: Samtech International, Inc.Inventors: Naoki Hashimotodani, Masahiko Fumimoto, Huu Minh Nguyen

Patent number: 6729170Abstract: A fuser roller is obtained by heating a blank over predetermined regions starting from both the opening ends, and then necking the heated regions of the blank by moving a forming roller with rotation on the heated regions through the external pressing of the forming roller against the heated regions of the blank being rotated on its axis to draw form sidewalls integrally at both ends of a cylindrical body of the blank, respectively, and draw form cylindrical shafts integrally with the sidewalls, respectively. In this manner, the fuser roller can be fabricated using a single processing machine with respect to a single pipe member, which reduces equipment cost, further enhances production efficiency and implements low-cost production of fuser rollers.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2002Date of Patent: May 4, 2004Assignees: Samtech Corporation, Samtech International, Inc.Inventors: Teppei Sakaguchi, Yoshiki Sakaguchi

Publication number: 20040035870Abstract: In a high-pressure tank 1 in which a gas discharge section 5 is extended from one end of a cylindrical section 2 through a dome section 4 by plastically deforming a short hollow cylindrical blank of metal, the gas discharge section 5 is set at a thickness at least three times that of the cylindrical section 2, and the dome section 4 is gradually increased in thickness from that of the cylindrical section 2 to that of the gas discharge section 5 in proceeding from the cylindrical section 2 to the gas discharge section 5. Thereby, a high-pressure tank capable of withstanding higher pressures than used at the present time is provided easily and at low cost.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 22, 2002Publication date: February 26, 2004Applicants: Samtech Corporation, Samtech International, Inc.Inventors: Teppei Sakaguchi, Yoshiki Sakaguchi

Patent number: 6675831Abstract: To downsize a high-pressure tank apparatus comprising: a high-pressure tank in which high-pressure gas is charged; and a valve mechanism including a regulator valve for reducing the gas pressure in the tank, to prevent damage to the valve mechanism, and to facilitate the handling of the valve mechanism and the like, the valve mechanism is provided at a gas outlet of the high-pressure tank to locate inside of the tank. The valve mechanism includes a capsule fixedly attached to the gas outlet in a gas-tight manner to face the inside of the high-pressure tank. Within the capsule, a shut-off valve for providing and interrupting communication between the inside and outside of the tank by its opening and closing, respectively, and a regulator valve for reducing the pressure of the high-pressure gas in the tank are disposed.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2002Date of Patent: January 13, 2004Assignees: SamTech Corporation, SamTech International, Inc., Hypercomp Engineering Inc., Kabushiki Kaisha Kawasaki Precision MachineryInventors: Teppei Sakaguchi, Yoshiki Sakaguchi, Shaun C.
