Mass Production System for Hood Support Rods with Excellent Corrosion Resistance

Mass Production System for Hood Support Rods with Excellent Corrosion Resistance
We mass-produce hood support rods that combine both corrosion resistance and appearance quality at our Japan base.
In the future, equivalent-quality production will also be available at our Vietnam plant.
- Overview
Hood support rods are critical components that safely hold a vehicle’s hood open.
Because they are constantly exposed to external environments, they require exceptional corrosion resistance and surface finish quality.
At our Japan facility, we carry out all processes in-house—from pressing and bending to cationic coating and resin component assembly—for stable mass production and supply.
Going forward, we are preparing to implement the same quality standards at our Vietnam plant to establish a reliable local production system.
- Key Features
• Excellent corrosion resistance ensured through cationic coating and zinc plating
• Integrated production covering pressing, bending, and resin component assembly (proven at our Japan facility)
• Rigorous in-process quality control to maintain surface appearance
• Preparation for equivalent-quality production capability at the Vietnam facility in the future
Through this system, we achieve both practicality and superior appearance quality.
- Processing Details
• Material: Steel rods (φ7–8 mm)
• Processes: Bending, end finishing
• Surface treatment: Cationic coating, zinc plating
• Assembly: Resin component assembly
