At the ITER blanket, there are cooling pipes for cooling. They will be cut and welded by dedicated tools. For the cooling pipe cutting, remaining the dust and swarf at the cooling pipe are prohibited and suitable cutting surface for rewelding are required. To implement these requirement, swage cutter cutting system were made as a mockup and tested for simulated cooling pipes. There were no cutting dust and suitable cutting surface by the swage cutter cutting system. For the blanket cooling pipe welding, relaxation for the positioning of welding groove, improvement for optical system durability of LASER welding are required. The mockup of LASER welding tool head were made and tested for simulated cooling pipes. As the result of welding condition improvement, relaxed welding condition with low sputter generation were taken. For the cooling pipe welding groove alignment, alignment tool was made and tested for correction of simulated cooling pipe misalignment. For less than 1.5mm of linear misalignment and 0.5 degree angular misalignment, required alignment accuracy were confirmed. Positioning accuracy and stability improvement at the tool operation were issued for the ITER blanket cooling pipe tool heads development.
