Discover how NBSTAM’s Intelligent Servo Riveting Machines replaced legacy Japanese equipment for Shimano. Featuring 0.01mm precision, zero complaints, and extreme durability testing.

Shimano, a global leader in the bicycle components and fishing tackle industries, provides comprehensive technical and product support to high-end manufacturing in the precision manufacturing, automotive, and sporting goods sectors, driving industry development. For decades, its production lines have relied on top-of-the-line traditional Japanese riveting machines (pneumatic and hydraulic systems). Although these machines have been reliable in the past, their significant limitations have become apparent with the advancement of Industry 4.0 and the concept of zero-defect manufacturing:

• Lack of Data Traceability: The legacy equipment could not provide real-time feedback on pressure curves or displacement, making it difficult to track quality data for every single part.
• Inconsistent Under Stress: In varying factory environments (temperature fluctuations), traditional hydraulic oil viscosity changed, leading to subtle instabilities in riveting force.
• High Maintenance: The older systems required frequent seal replacements and oil changes, increasing downtime.
• Shimano needed a partner who could not just “match” the Japanese standard but surpass it with intelligent, digitalized solutions.
  NBSTAM Intelligent Servo Riveting SystemNBSTAM engineered a customized solution based on our flagship Servo Riveting Machine. By replacing the traditional hydraulic power source with a high-precision servo motor and planetary roller screw, we achieved: 
  • Micron-Level Control: Our system controls the riveting depth to within 0.01mm. This “Soft Landing” technology protects delicate Shimano components from impact damage.
  • Smart Quality Monitoring: The machine monitors the force-displacement curve in real-time. If a rivet is too short, too hard, or missing, the machine automatically alarms and rejects the part.
  • Eco-Friendly Operation: 60% less energy consumption compared to hydraulic systems, with zero oil leakage risks—perfect for Shimano’s clean assembly environment.

   

  Rigorous Testing: Why We Have Zero Complaints

  

  The biggest concern for international buyers is reliability. To prove our equipment could replace the established Japanese brand, NBSTAM subjected our machines to “Full-Spectrum Durability Testing” before delivery.

  We didn’t just test them; we tortured them to ensure survival in any condition:

   

  • Extreme Temperature Shock: Tested in environmental chambers from -20°C to +60°C to ensure the servo system maintains precision regardless of factory climate.
  • Continuous High-Load Cycle: Running at maximum designated force for 72 hours non-stop to simulate years of wear.
  • Drop & Vibration Tests: Simulating international shipping conditions and harsh industrial vibration environments.
  • The Verdict: Our machines passed all stress tests with zero performance degradation.

   

  The Results: 100% Retention and Trust

  The implementation of NBSTAM servo machines has been a transformative success for Shimano’s production line:

  • Seamless Replacement: The NBSTAM units successfully replaced the imported Japanese machines, offering better integration with MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems).
  • Zero Complaints: Since installation, the equipment has operated with 0 quality incidents and 0 customer complaints.
  • High Repurchase Rate: Impressed by the stability and our rapid R&D response, Shimano ha of appreciation and continues to prioritize NBSTAM for new production lines.
  • “NBSTAM didn’t just sell us a machine; they delivered a guarantee of quality that rivals and exceeds the imported equipment we used for decades.”
