Together with the automotive supplier
Faurecia, Jansen has developed special
precision steel tubes for the rear seat
construction of the Audi Q7 SUV. The
successfully completed project is a
good example of co-engineering: the
mutual development of a product by two
specialised technology partners.
Jansen Ltd, Switzerland, supplies a wide
range of international customers with high
quality precision steel tubes. By beginning
close collaboration at the earliest stage, it is
possible to define the materials and product
specifications together with the client. This
saves development costs and time, and
the time to market-readiness is significantly
decreased.
The rear seats of the Audi Q7 were
developed by Faurecia, one of the most
significant automotive supply companies in
the world. The rear seat concept in the Q7
offers multiple configuration possibilities.
The rear seats can be folded down and
stored away as needed so that a flat loading
surface up to the front seats is created.
For the sub-construction of the rear seats,
cold-rolled precision steel tubes from
Jansen were delivered in five different
sizes. Depending on the type of seat,
round, rectangular or flat-oval tubes are
used.
The definitive forms and models of the steel
tubes were developed by Jansen, together
with Faurecia. Various grades of steel, wall
thicknesses, strengths and elongations
were made and tested in the course of
prototyping.
