PR message
At Endo Manufacturing, we manufacture ultra-thin, stainless steel pipes (metal sleeves) at our Thailand and Vietnam factories that are used in printer parts and other parts.
Through our original manufacturing process, we can achieve plate thickness as low as 20 μm. Various uses are expected for them including battery casings, motor covers and seamless steel belts for automobiles and office automation equipment.
The Unlimited Possibilities of Metal Sleeves
Currently, typical metal pipes are manufactured by welding, blanking or cutting.
At Endo Manufacturing, we sell high-precision ultra-thin pipes made with metal sleeves that are not possible with conventional technology.
Fuser roller parts for printers are an example of how metal sleeves are used.
We have realized a transition for these printer parts from the conventional resin-made parts to metal sleeves with plenty of strength and the high thermal conduction only metal has. When we replaced our production process, we not only wanted to develop a special way to manufacture products. The main reason was to create overwhelming price competitiveness by designing and producing manufacturing equipment ourselves. In addition, we ship finished products that have also been surface treated, such as by coating stainless steel pipes with fluororesin.
Now we are also progressing with horizontal development of new uses in fields including auto parts, space and new energy by making use of thin film metal pipe manufacturing techniques.
New Technologies, Thin Films, Seamless Steel Belts and High Precision
Metal sleeves are seamless pipes that can be built up to 20-μm thin out of stainless steel.
