Square pyramidal structure with circular opening in Futaba

Futaba Corporation (Harima Town, Hyogo Prefecture) has developed a processing technology that can reduce the number of welding points from two to one on a square pyramid-shaped structure with a circular opening (photo). Rounded corner structures are used as ventilation fan ducts, hoppers, etc. By reducing the number of joints from two to one, the time and effort required for welding can be reduced, and the thermal degeneration of the material caused by welding can be minimized. In 2018, the company developed a press processing technology that can reduce the weld area of a circular structure with a circular opening to one side. This time, the company has applied the same processing method to round-cornered structures, making it possible to make welds on one side.
