Modern machinery makes it possible to make incredibly complex products out of tubing without harming the structure of the tube. Lengths of pipe can easily be expanded or reduced to suit various dimensions, from large diameters to the smallest ones. Whether it is welded or seamless pipe it can be adapted to almost any specifications. The machines also make it a much quicker job so manufacturing only takes a fraction of the time.
When you manipulate tubes it is important to keep the shape of the product intact. Doing the manipulation by hand makes it difficult to keep the shape and any issue can mean needing to redo the whole length. With machinery there is better accuracy and if there is a mistake making a new piece takes less time. The most modern equipment monitors the shape and diameter of tubing whilst it is manipulated to ensure accuracy.
When it comes to tube manipulation is it important to keep the wall thickness in mind. Thicker tubes are more challenging to work with because of their rigidity. Thinner walled ones are easier to manipulate but care needs to be taken to avoid flaws in the shape and the strength of the material. It is always wise to consider how the thickness will change when tubes are reduced or expanded as well.
We can offer tube manipulation services for a wide range of needs. We excel at designing products and manufacturing them within a short timeframe. Whether you need large diameter tubing or smaller scale tubes, we can create them for you. Our expertise allows us to offer design advice and ensure you make the right product selection for your needs, including deciding what type of finish you want for the tubing. Whether you have a large order or want a prototype piece for your project we can supply it for you.
