Applications

Fabricated tube parts and structures

Frames and Bases

Equipment stands, carts, guards, racks, supports, and structural assemblies.

Cut Tube Components

Slots, holes, end forms, copes, tabs, and interlocking joints.

Bent Tubes

Handles, rails, frames, routing tubes, supports, and formed structures.

Finished Weldments

Combine tube, sheet, machined parts, hardware, coating, and inspection.

Processes

Tube fabrication route

1

Cut and Feature

Laser cut or saw to length, then add holes, slots, copes, and end details.

2

Bend and Form

Control bend radius, centerline, rotation, straight lengths, and springback.

3

Weld and Machine

Fixture assemblies, join components, and finish critical interfaces.

4

Finish and Inspect

Coat, mark, verify datums and geometry, then package for delivery.

Design Guidance

Control bend feasibility and final assembly geometry

Define the Centerline

Use bend centerline radius, angle, direction, and rotation between bends.

Leave Straight Length

Bending tools need grip and support distance around each bend.

Protect Nearby Features

Holes and slots near bends can distort; place or cut them in the correct process sequence.

Identify Assembly Datums

Call out mounting planes, hole patterns, overall envelope, and allowable weld distortion.

FAQ

Tube fabrication questions

Can tube be cut and bent in the same project?

Yes. Operation order is planned around cut features, bend tooling, deformation, orientation, and inspection.

Can you produce welded frames?

Yes. Provide assembly geometry, weld callouts, datum requirements, finish, and acceptable distortion.

What tube information is required?

State profile shape, outside dimensions, wall thickness, alloy, temper, seam restrictions, and any stock specification.
