It has excellent properties as an impact energy absorption component for automobiles and structures.
The product is a collapsible pipe that applies origami engineering to pipes. Origami engineering, which is also used in satellite solar panels, is applied to pipes. It is expected to be utilized as an impact energy absorption component in moving bodies such as automobiles. Additionally, we also handle "drive shafts" for industrial robots. 【Features】 ■ Origami shapes are formed using hydroforming ■ Compared to regular pipes, the folding increases the crush stroke and energy absorption ■ Due to the inverted spiral shape, it collapses neatly without twisting ■ Jointly developed with Tokyo Institute of Technology *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
