Tube & Pipe Fabrication

Here are some of the advances in tube and pipe fabrication equipment and accessories that are now available to help shops make money while meeting demands for more complex geometries, tougher materials, faster speed and higher quality.

Posted: August 25, 2016

Ideal for furniture, pipe and automotive applications as well as for job shops, the E-TURN all-electric tube bender from BLM Group provides automatic right and left hand precision bending of a variety of tube configurations, including round, square, rectangular, flat-sided, oval and elliptica.

All-Electric Tube Bender Provides Flexibility, Accuracy and Speed
The flexibility, accuracy and speed of the E-TURN from BLM Group make it ideal for the job shop and furniture, pipe and automotive applications. It is environmentally friendly with extremely low noise levels, no hydraulic oils, no leaks and no filter replacement.

Advanced Tube Bending Technologies
The fully automatic DB 622-CNC ‘t bend’ mandrel bending machine from Transfluid performs exact bending of 22 x 2.0 mm round steel tubes, 22 x 1.5 mm stainless steel tubes, and 16 x 1.5 mm square tubes.

Electric Tube End Forming Systems
The M71-E-3 and M71-E-3 systems from Manchester Tool & Die feature independent stroke speed adjustment, easy access for tooling changeovers and service, energy savings and noise reduction.

Cost Effective Fiber Laser Cutting of Tubes
The affordable, fully automatic FLTA series fiber laser tube cutting system from Horn Machine Tools offers a lower cost solution for high quality laser cutting.

Automated Band Sawing of Tubes
The easy operating, fully automatic KASTOwin tube A 5.0 bandsaw from KASTO uses intelligent SmartControl that stores and handles all material data to automatically set all necessary parameters for each job.

Small Diameter Tube and Pipe Interior Deburring
POLISTAR flexible abrasive stars from PFERD can be stacked in several layers and aligned at an offset from one another so that the abrasive has optimal effect. Setup times are significantly reduced since pads can be changed without removing the arbor from the collet.

Large Diameter Tube Bending Gel
Ideal for tube bending of 304, 409 and 439 stainless steels up to 8 in diameter, GEL 986-00D from IRMCO contains no mineral oil, no pigments or clays, no PTFE, and no chlorine, zinc, boron, phosphorous or sulfur-based EP or AW additives.

Innovative Pipe Machining Tools
The Terminator MILLHOG Pipe Beveling Tool from ESCO Tool rigidly clamps to the ID and uses a tracker to compensate for variations in wall thickness and a precision feed control to advance into the pipe.

Next Generation Technology for Drilling Pipe
For pipe drilling and hole cutting, the MagDrill Disrupter 30 from Magswitch/Euroboor uses a uniquely flexible drill base for a superior grip on flat and round pipe outer and pipe inner surfaces a little over two inches in diameter,

Software for Tube Inspection
The scalable TubeShaper software system from Hexagon can interface directly with one or more CNC tube benders to calculate and apply correctional data within the production cycle to streamline operations and almost completely eliminate scrap.

Tube Fabrication Software Brings Shops Closer to Industry 4.0
The new 2016 Lantek Factory software from Lantek Systems uses sophisticated automatic geometry recognition for multiple parts and dynamic lead in/out positioning that reduces programming times, while the new Bevel 3D Designer allows interactive irregular bevel design in 2.5D.

Turbo Powered Tools to Grind, Mill and Polish Deepest Recesses of Narrow Pipes
The LRC 20 hand tool from Suhner grinds, mills and polishs the leading edges and corners of impellers or the insides of narrow pipes that previously could be accessed only with great difficulty.

Orbital Wrapping Machines Wrap Pipes in Unlimited Lengths Fed by Conveyor
Ideal for protecting pipes and other long products during transport, the Wrapper Tornado line from TAB Industries wraps plastic stretch film 360 deg around and under an entire load in one minute or less, including the pallet if desired.

Real Time Non-Contact Measurement of Round Pipe and Profiles
The Profile360 G4 in-line, real time, non-contact measurement system from Starrett is ideal for continuously monitoring OD, OOR, and circumference for round pipe and profiles in diameters up to 1,600 mm.
