Manipulating tubes to ensure they are the right size can be done using several different techniques. One of these is tube swaging, a process specifically designed for smaller pieces when multi-piece assembly is not appropriate. The process is a cold forming operation and can be used to reduce the internal and external diameter of the tubing. It takes care and skill to carry out tube swaging accurately, but the lack of heat means there is less risk that the structural integrity of the material will be harmed. Continue reading →

We commit ourselves to the consistent delivery of bespoke services to suit the specific needs of every client.  Alongside our tube drilling, bending and manipulation, our fabrication services allow us to produce a varied range of structural components to many different areas of industry. The process we use involves joining two metal pieces by welding to create a single item. The process can be dangerous, and naturally requires the skills of highly experienced and capable engineers. Our methods and employees represent the highest of standards and every aspect of our work is approached with professionalism. Continue reading →

Tube manipulation is used for a variety of different applications including the manufacturing of shop fittings and vehicles, the construction industry, and in heating systems, to name just a few. We provide a variety of manipulation services to get tubes at the right shape, size and angle for your specific project. Here are just some of the reasons why you should choose our company to carry out your tube manipulation services. Continue reading →

Tube ring rolling is amongst the easiest ways to manipulate tubing to create curves. It is a more efficient method than doing the work by hand, reducing the physical demands and the risk of damaging the tubing. It also doesn’t involve heating the tube so there is little risk of creating flaws and weaknesses in the tubes. Smooth or tight curves can be produced depending on how machinery is set up and the dimensions of the tube. Continue reading →

We are the experts when it comes to tube manipulation and bending, and can ensure your tubes meet the specifications of your project precisely. Our tube manipulation expertise allow us to cater to practically any customers and their needs, regardless of what they want or need a tube for. Customers come to us because generic tubes will not suffice: they need tubes that are custom made to their exact specifications. That is why we provide services such as tube end forming. Whether expanding or reducing the end of the tube, or transforming it into a different shape or size, we can do it all. Continue reading →

Tube expansion is essentially the process of opening up a tube end and increasing its potential for use. The expansion method allows tubes to tightly fit onto others and prevent any leakages when the tubes are fitted together. We utilise two separate methods to achieve successful tube expansion, and each one is designed to produce a smooth finish and accurate results. Ram forming expansion involves the use of a die which serves as a mould. We use pressure to force the die into the end of a tube and then retract it under equal pressure. The result of the action is an expanded tube end. This method does present its limitations however, as the die is a specific size and diameter which means it can only produce certain diameters.

Tube swaging is often used to reduce the diameter of a tube, add a point to work piece that is round, or produce a taper. Rotary swaging is one of the most popular methods and can produce an assortment of different shaped formed ends including hexagonal, octagonal and squares. We are able to swage one side of the tube, both sides and the interior which can increase or decrease its diameter, providing you with a lot of options. When combined with our tube expansion, reduction and manipulation services, you can be certain of getting the exact tubes you require for your project. Continue reading →

Tube ring rolling involves bending tubes into circular ones, which produces a versatile component which is used in many different industries, from heating and automotive springs to items such as spiral staircases. Our professional tube ring rolling service ensures that even the strongest and most durable of tubes can be successfully rolled, while never running the risk of flattening or weakening the tube. It can be carried out with either cold or hot manipulation and done by hand or machine. Continue reading →

The metal forming industry serves many different sectors, and we are specialists in the many aspects of tube manipulation, including tube ring rolling, drilling, beading and more. Metal forming processes essentially involve the reshaping of materials and objects without reducing volume. The fact that the shape, size and diameter of a tube can be changed without cutting away any of the material ensures precise results and value for money. We enjoy professional relationships with a long list of different clients and we have spent many years developing our skills. We are now in a position to easily produce any tubular product.
