The requirements for high quality steel tubing in the automotive industry are very demanding in function, quality and cost. Kusakabe forming mill equipment can produce automotive tubing in high strength steels, high and low t/D ratios, extra heavy wall thickness tubing with wall thicknesses up to 20% of the diameter and ultra-precision tubing with OD tolerances within 0.05mm. Kusakabe can supply tube mills for all forms of specialized automotive tubing. Tubing that is subsequently going to be cold drawn the Kusakabe nick and shear cut off provides a cut with no swarf that interferes with the drawing process, a critical requirement for the shock absorber and gas lift strut industry.
