Product Improvement Video

From a welded hose
to one-piece molding.

Key Takeaways

What the video demonstrates.

The original construction relies on a welded joint. The revised component uses one-piece molding to create a continuous hose without a welding seam.

Original comparison01

Highlight 01

Original comparison

The video compares the original factory hose with the improved replacement design.

Why the weld seam matters02

Highlight 02

Why the weld seam matters

The original hose is made from two sections joined by friction welding. Repeated heating and cooling can make the seam more vulnerable to leakage.

One-piece molding03

Highlight 03

One-piece molding

The improved hose is formed as one continuous component, removing the need for a friction-welded joint.

No welding line04

Highlight 04

No welding line

The visible line is the mold parting line, not a weld. The inspected connection area has no welded seam.

Cross-section check05

Highlight 05

Cross-section check

A cut-section inspection shows a continuous wall and supports the revised construction approach.

Product improvement focus06

Highlight 06

Product improvement focus

The design change targets leakage risk associated with thermal expansion and contraction.
