Tube processing is an industrial process that uses advanced technologies
to transform metal tubes into complex and precise components.
Tube processing: laser cutting and bending
laser cutting and bending for precise and versatile components
The two main phases of tube processing are:
Laser cutting
Laser cutting is a precise and versatile method for cutting tubes of various materials, including steel, aluminum, copper and brass. A high-intensity laser beam is focused on the tube, creating an intense heat zone that melts the material and allows the tube to be cut to the desired shape.
Bending
This phase consists of deforming the tube according to the desired angle and radius to obtain the final shape of the component. There are various bending techniques, including:
- Mandrel bending: a mandrel is inserted inside the tube to support it during deformation.
- Roll bending: the tube is bent by wrapping it around rollers of different diameters.
- Compression bending: the tube is compressed between two molds to obtain the desired curvature.
