So many automotive uses

Tube is especially suited to this industry. With most vehicles there is a focus on saving weight to improve fuel efficiency and performance. Tubes are the perfect option because they weigh less than solid bars or rods. At the same time, they retain an excellent level of strength and stability. So, many manufacturers choose them.

The sheer number of potential applications here is very impressive. Tubing can be crucial parts of vehicles, including steering components, exhaust systems, and pieces of the structure like roll cages. In larger public vehicles like buses, they are also vital for handrails and other support systems.

The fact that there are so many different options for metal tubing helps expand the uses too. Steel is a common choice because of its strength and low cost. Stainless alloys are particularly good because of the corrosion resistance. Aluminium and titanium are great options too, offering weight savings, improvements in the strength, and higher corrosion resistance.

Automotive tube drilling solutions

As we said above, tubes are often a vital part of various systems in vehicles. Because they are a piece of a much larger assembly, manufacturers need precise solutions for joining, mounting, and more. Drilling holes is a traditional option that can still work exceptionally well. As long as the placement is precise and the holes are clean, joining the tubes with bolts and other fixtures can be very easy.

We excel here because we maximise accuracy and the finish. Successfully preventing the tubes from rotating during drilling is crucial. It makes it easier to get the holes exactly where they need to be. Plus, it reduces the chance of the tool slipping and marking the surface of the tube.

Another benefit is we take care with our tooling. The bits need to be sharp and strong to cut through different metals. We have a large selection and manage them carefully. We also have high quality drills and can deburr the holes with deburring tools to make sure the edges are clean.
