Now offers more hardening options for CNC turning (round parts)

As of October 7, meviy, an AI-based parts procurement platform (powered by MISUMI Group Inc.) offers "Vacuum Quenching", "Induction Hardening" and "Hardness Specification" services for CNC turning (round objects). This allows for increased wear resistance of parts, hardening of drivetrain components that require both hardness and toughness, and selective hardening of the area adjacent to the workpiece.
MISUMI will continue to provide time value to our global customers in the IA (Industrial Automation) industry through expanding our services and contribute to enhancing their productivity.
 

As part of our efforts to improve meviy, we have worked to shorten the lead time for quenching services, and currently offer Immersion Quenching for CNC turning. On the other hand, there were many customer requests for hardening, such as "I want to specify the hardening method according to application", "I want to specify Vacuum Quenching which has higher wear resistance", and "I want only certain areas (of a part) to be hardened". 
To respond to these requests, we have newly added "Vacuum Quenching*1", "Induction Hardening*2" and "Hardness Specification" services. 
These new services, which allow customers to specify the hardened areas and hardness level, were made possible through system development and establishment of a hardening production system. As a result, customers can now procure parts that were previously unavailable via meviy, such as drivetrain components that require both hardness and toughness. We now expect meviy to be used in a wider variety of customer situations.
