Get The Perfect Custom Tube Bending For Your Project

Whether you are working on a plumbing project or getting ready to manufactures a complex system, getting the perfect custom tube bending is essential to the success of your endeavor. With so many different tube bending companies out there, it can be difficult to know where to start.

The first step is to determine what type of tube bending you need. There are three main types of tube bending: precision tube bending, custom tube bending, and production tube bending (or fabricated tube assemblies). Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it is important to choose the one that is best suited for your project.

Once you have selected the type of tube bending you need, the next step is to find the right company to the engineering support and services you require.

You can also get quotes from multiple companies before making your final decision. By taking the time to do your research, you can be sure to find the perfect custom tube bending for your project. At Precision Bending Technology, we know that our company’s experience, reputation, and price make us a great candidate.

Custom Bending Methods

Custom tube bending is the process of bending a tube to a specific shape. This can be done using a variety of methods, including:

  • Roll bending uses a series of rollers to bend the tube. The rollers are shaped to the desired shape of the tube, and the tube is passed through the rollers until it is bent to the desired shape.
  • Rotary draw bending uses a mandrel and a die to bend the tube. The mandrel is inserted inside the tube, and the die is placed on the outside of the tube. The tube is then drawn around the die, which bends the tube to the desired shape.
  • Induction bending uses a magnetic field to bend the tube. The tube is placed in a magnetic field, and the field is then used to bend the tube to the desired shape.

Depending on what shape you need, different types of bending will be used. The type is often dictated by the material of the tube, the desired shape of the tube, and the desired tolerances.

Here are some of the factors that go into custom tube bending:

  • Tubing material: The material of the tube will affect the type of bending process that can be used, as well as the final shape of the tube. For example, steel tubes can be bent using a variety of methods, while aluminum tubes are typically bent using rotary draw bending.
  • Desired Shape: The desired end shape of the tube will also affect the type of bending process that can be used. For example, a simple U-bend can be made using a variety of methods, while a complex shape may require a more specialized bending process.
  • Needed tolerances: The desired tolerances will affect the type of bending process that can be used, as well as the cost of the project. For example, a project with tight tolerances will require a more specialized bending process and will be more expensive.
