■　FUSOH TUBE PARTS' 3D Laser Processing Capability Range

By introducing 3D fiber laser cutting machines, we support three-dimensional cutting of steel tubes, square pipes, and irregular-shaped pipes with special cross-sections. We have a system to review and propose drawing-based processing even for complex shapes that are difficult to handle with conventional machining.

List of Processing Capabilities

■　Main Functions and Examples of 3D Laser Processing

This is a processing method that performs drilling and curve cutting in a single process on steel tubes and irregular-shaped pipes. By consolidating workflows, we support the streamlining of operations that were previously divided into multiple processes.

• Complex Drilling Process: Supporting the automation of processes that conventionally combined drilling and press forming, such as drilling hexagonal holes in square pipes.
• Three-Dimensional Curve Cutting (R-Corner Cutting): Performing 3D curve cutting to join pipes together, contributing to improved fitting accuracy during welding.
• Processing of Irregular-Shaped Cross Sections: Corresponding to customization based on customer drawings, such as special shape processing to increase welding efficiency.

■　Benefits of Implementation

Outsourcing everything from material procurement to processing collectively supports the efficiency enhancement of the entire manufacturing process.

• Lead Time Reduction: Consolidating multiple processes such as drilling, cutting, and chamfering into the laser cutting machine, suppressing the movement of work-in-progress (WIP) and the labor of re-setup.
• Quality Stabilization: Automated laser processing minimizes product-to-product quality variations compared to manual work, helping to improve work efficiency in subsequent processes (such as welding).
• Management Cost Reduction: Providing everything from material procurement and inventory holding to processing in a one-stop shop, contributing to the simplification of procurement management for customers. * For detailed specifications and capability ranges, please download the PDF file attached to this article or contact us using the form at the bottom of the page.

■　Supply System and Quality Control

We have established a system to handle component processing and supply for Japanese manufacturers in Thailand.

• Base: Pinthong Industrial Estate 1, Chonburi Province
• Coverage Area: Delivery across Thailand (JIT delivery negotiable depending on conditions)
• Inspection System: Quality verification system utilizing 3D coordinate measuring machines (such as Mitutoyo)

■　Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. : Is processing possible for irregular-shaped pipes other than square pipes?
A1. : Even for pipes with special cross-sections other than circular or rectangular shapes, we can evaluate processing feasibility based on your drawings. We will guide you through our capability range after confirming the material, shape, dimensions, and quantity.

Q2. : Is it possible to discuss prototyping based on drawings?
A2. : Upon reviewing your drawings and specifications, we will support you from material selection, processing method proposals, and prototyping to mass-production supply. Feasibility varies depending on the shape, processing conditions, quantity, and delivery timeline.
