1. Design

We meet with the customer to decide what kind of fishing rod or pipe will be made, then create a design blueprint.

Prepreg (material) preserved in refrigerator/freezer.

2. Pattern Cutting

1. カウンセリング

Cut to the design blueprint by hand or by using a cutting machine.

3. Release Agent Applied to Mandrel

1. カウンセリング

The decored mandrel (metal mold) is coated with a release agent.

4. Adhesive Applied to Mandrel

1. カウンセリング

Already coated with a release agent, an adhesive is then applied to the mandrel (metal mold).

5. Adding Iron

1. カウンセリング

The mandrel, which is already coated with an adhesive, is heated and pressurized, and a cutting pattern and sub-pattern is then applied.

6. Rolling

The iron-coated pattern is set onto the rolling table, where it is then rotated at high pressure.

Glass is wrapped on the back. In front, carbon cloth is then wrapped around the exterior.

7. Taping

PP (polypropylene) tape is layered over the pattern-wrapped mandrel, and pressure is applied.

Appearance of wrapped tape.

8. Firing

The tape-wrapped item is hung in the kiln. Heat is applied, hardening the resin.

9. Decoring

Hardened pipe is removed from the mandrel.

Separated mandrel and pipe.

10. Tape Stripping

11. Cutting

1. カウンセリング

Pipe can be cut at both ends.

12. Polishing

1. カウンセリング

The pipe is put into the grinding/polishing machine and rotated. The surface is polished with a rotating buffing material.

13. Centerless Alignment

The centerless grinding machine (outside diameter grinding machine depending on the grindstone) grinds the material (pipe diameter and rod joint parts, etc.) down to the necessary precise dimensions.

Our centerless grind processing supports diameters up to Φ150 mm

14. Painting

1. カウンセリング

Painting to the specified color.

パターン裁断

The coat is typically applied by brush, but other types of coating methods (such as sprayers) are used occasionally as well.
