Modern machinery is expanding the scope of tubular products
Modern tube bending machinery is bringing some amazing benefits to the automotive sector. New machines allow tubes and pipes to be bent in a huge variety of different ways, including tight bends, curves and even spirals when required. This opens up a wide range of new opportunities for innovation and brings designs forward leaps and bounds. Increasingly complex shapes can be made very easily now so there is far more scope in terms of what can be done with exhausts, fuelling systems and other key aspects of vehicles. Continue reading

Tube expansion requires care and precision
When carrying out tube expansion, it is important to account for the stresses the material will face. If this is not done the finished material could potentially be weakened or left uneven. Additional care needs to be taken with joints to ensure they are neither under or over rolled. Any problems with the tubing from not accounting for stress can lead to huge additional costs, particularly if a large batch needs to be completely re-done. Continue reading

Modern machinery makes tube bending easier
Tube bending machinery dramatically reduces the manufacturing time, whilst simultaneously expanding the realms of possibility in design. Bending tubes by hand is tough and very time consuming. It also limits what can be produced before the quality of the final item starts to suffer. With the use of machinery, you can bend tubing in any number of unique and unusual ways including spirals, curves and angles, all that without harming the integrity of the tube. From tube reduction to expansion to drilling, there is innovative equipment to carry out all kinds of tube manipulation. The best equipment takes a time and labour intensive service and makes it fast and efficient. Continue reading
