Tube & Pipe Fabrication
Filter by Process Zone:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Efficient Cutting of Stents and Tubes
The second generation Sigma Laser Stent & Tube Cutter from Amada Miyachi is excellent for cutting nitinol, stainless steel, and cobalt chromium.
Intelligent Bending
This plant heralded a complete shift to all-electric tube bending technology to meet huge demand for their new product with an integrated tube processing system that merges robotic handling of the material to bend extremely long tubing in very short cycle times and almost double their manufacturing output from 1,800 units to 3,500 units a day.
Speed and Precision in Chemical Plant Engineering
With investments in chemical plants expected to double over the next few years, here are some insights into selecting the right machines to efficiently manufacture enormous quantities of quality double-walled tubes from high-strength special materials that are often flanged and beaded.
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.
IMTS 2016: Fabricating & Lasers
Take a journey through fabricating, metal forming, laser and waterjet-based machining, including displays of welding, metal treating and marking equipment that highlight in-process monitoring and multi-functional beam capabilities.
