Precision panel manufacturing business using aluminum honeycomb
summary
Aluminum honeycomb structure is a hollow hexagonal lattice structure that is lightweight and highly rigid.
It is used in diverse fields such as construction, transportation, and industrial panels.
Features and Benefits
Lightweight
- Extremely lightweight due to hollow hexagonal lattice structure (honeycomb structure).
- Weight can be significantly reduced compared to solid or sheet metal materials of the same size and thickness.
High rigidity and strength
- High bending rigidity due to the sandwich structure of the surface material (face material) and core material (honeycomb).
- Resistant to surface pressure and distortion.
Dimensional stability
- Little dimensional change due to heat and humidity changes.
- Stable shape for a long period of time and less likely to warp or deform.
Corrosion and weather resistance
- Aluminum itself has an oxide film and is resistant to corrosion.
- Long life can be expected outdoors and in wet environments.
fire resistance
- Inorganic material, therefore not flammable.
- Can be used as "noncombustible" in construction materials (depending on certification and specifications).
Sound insulation and heat insulation
- Contains an air layer, allowing sound and heat to be blocked to some extent.
- Can be applied to sound insulation panels and heat insulation panels by special design.
High degree of design freedom
- Aluminum, stainless steel, wood, stone, resin, etc. can be selected as surface materials.
- Thickness, size, and shape can be freely designed according to the application.
Ease of processing
- Relatively easy to cut, drill, and bend, and has a high affinity for machining.
- However, care must be taken in edge protection and adhesion techniques.
Reduction of environmental impact (by weight reduction)
- Contribute to energy and resource conservation by reducing the weight of structures.
- For example, in transportation equipment, it improves fuel efficiency, and in buildings, it reduces structural load.
Sound insulation and heat insulation
- Contains an air layer, allowing sound and heat to be blocked to some extent.
- Can be applied to sound insulation panels and heat insulation panels by special design.

Honeycomb core type 1: Honeycomb (stretched)
Applications: Lightweight-oriented interior materials, components requiring air permeability, temporary applications, etc. *"Honeycomb (stretched)" is a core material formed into a honeycomb structure by stretching slit-cut sheet material.
Honeycomb core type 2: Honeycomb core (laminated)
Applications: Exterior panels, architectural facades, panels requiring high strength and high precision, etc. *"Honeycomb core" is a core material formed by laminating and bonding hexagonal cell structures in advance. It is characterized by its stable structure and high precision.
Product List
Parts for Aircraft and Vehicles
They are lightweight while maintaining strength and are utilized as parts for floorboards, doors, bulkheads, and other components.
Furniture and Fixture Parts
Its smoothness and lightweight characteristics make it ideal for large desks and bench boards. The surface faceplate can be made of any material to suit the design.
Parts for manufacturing and maintenance
Also used in robot arms and manufacturing equipment for liquid crystal and semiconductors. High-precision machinability and a variety of surface materials are combined to take advantage of the ultra-lightweight characteristics.
Containers and pallets for transportation
Reduced weight reduces the burden on human work and equipment. Trays with ventilation holes in the faceplate also provide ventilation.
Solar Panel Parts
Due to its light weight and resistance to corrosion and water, it is less burdensome on rooftops and roofs, and enhances workability during installation.
Satellite Parts
The rigidity, lightness, and low distortion of the finished product make it suitable for precision equipment, and it has been used as a part of "artificial satellites," the cutting edge of technology.
Building materials (ceilings, eaves, walls, etc.)
It is suitable for building materials not only because of its light weight and strength, but also because of its excellent heat, corrosion, fire, and water resistance. It also has the advantage of shortening the construction period due to its large size and high workability. Angle and radius processing are also possible.
