Cost reduction through VA/VE by reducing parts and eliminating welding processes for round pipe links.
This is an example of a cost reduction method that can be achieved through value analysis (VA) and value engineering (VE) by selecting square pipes instead of welding unstable round pipes, thereby reducing the number of parts and the welding process.
A case where the difficulty of welding round pipes together can be addressed by reducing parts and eliminating welding processes through VA and VE, resulting in a cost-effective shape. The key point is to consider parts reduction in order to simplify end processing. Choosing square pipes to resolve the unstable welding of round pipes. When creating a link mechanism like this part with round pipes, a U-shaped component is welded at one point in the middle, and then the round pipes are attached to complete the assembly. This results in a three-point structure, which we will try to improve through VA.
