The importance of rigging

A lot of people may have heard of rigging before and think about lighting or boats. However, it is essential for much more than just those two. In fact, it is one of the most important processes in a number of different industries. It is vital for moving various types of equipment safely and efficiently. At the same time, it ensures safety with everything from light rigs to stage backdrops. We want to have a closer look at it here, including touching on the importance of aluminium tubing. Then, if you need help with tube manipulation for any applications, we can help. Continue reading

Copper’s unbelievable green credentials

One of the most important factors today is choosing materials that are green and sustainable. It can influence a huge amount of decisions, including what to use for construction projects and essential equipment. Copper is one of the best choices for a number of applications, especially with techniques like tube bending services. The fact it is infinitely recyclable and doesn’t ever need to go into landfill means it has the most impressive green credentials. Continue reading

The easiest way to overcome springback

Accuracy is one of the most important things in the engineering world. In many cases the tolerance is just a tiny fraction of a millimetre; anything more can lead to disastrous consequences. As a result, you need to think about the various factors that can lead to inaccuracies. Springback should be near the top of the list, especially with processes like tube ring rolling or bending metal sheets. Continue reading

Chip management is vital if you want exceptional holemaking

If you ask machinists and metal shop workers, many will say that holemaking is one of the most difficult jobs. There are big challenges when you deal with metals and alloys, including heat generation, tool wear, and the potential for surface damage. In fact, it is quite easy to ruin tools and workpieces. If you want to achieve the best result with tube drilling and other tasks, it is important to think about chip management. Continue reading

Do you know how dynamic roll forming is?

Many of the things you use on a daily basis are possible because of roll forming. The process is one of the most efficient ways to create metal tubes, boxes, channels, and much more. These products are vital for energy, construction, vehicles, furnishings, and many other applications. We help adapt them too, offering services like tube swaging and bending to cater for various needs. Continue reading

There are some huge challenges though, especially when it comes to effective transfer. We want to have a look at some of them here. Then, if you need to arrange tube expansion or other services for different applications, we can help. Continue reading

Specifying the right joints for water tube applications

Joining tubes effectively is absolutely crucial in a number of different applications. One area in particular where it is vital is water tube. Whether it is culverts, underground storage systems, sanitary sewers, or irrigation systems, you need to achieve the right level of performance. Most importantly, you must ensure that the joints don’t allow harmful leaks or infiltration. We want to have a closer look here, then if you need to arrange tube reduction to create leak proof joints, we can help. Continue reading

Maximising plant operator safety

Plant machinery comes in all shapes and sizes, from compact mini-diggers and forklifts to massive cranes and excavators. No matter the size though, maximising operator safety is important. Most plant will need some form of operator protective structure (OPS). We want to have a closer look at them here. Then, if you want to arrange tube manipulation to create potential life saving equipment, you can speak to us. Continue reading

New key findings for potential issues with helical tubes

Nuclear power has been in the headlines for the last few years, getting more attention as a potential solution to our energy needs. There is a lot of support for it because it can provide low emission electricity. In fact, the expectation is it will reach new records this year, eventually generating more than 10% of global power supplies. New research into helical tubes could be vital here. We want to have a closer look below, then you can speak to us if you want to arrange tube bending services. Continue reading
