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 →

We offer our tube manipulation services for a wide variety of clients. From business who create furniture to businesses working in the automotive industry, one thing that all of our clients have in common is that they require tubes that are custom made for them and their products. Our clients can’t just depend completely on generic tubes: they require accurate, perfectly shaped tubes that are made to their exact specifications. We can provide this through the process of tube swaging. Continue reading →

After many years of developing our methods we are now the trusted name in tube bending services, and we are the first port of call for clients requiring the highest standards of tube manipulation. When you engage our services we focus on all aspects of the process including design, materials and budget to make sure we are delivering the very best service. Continue reading →

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 →
