Tube Bending Services

Tube manipulation is a technique used to shape tubes into different forms to meet various application and assembly requirements. By reshaping the tube as a whole, the need for cutting or welding is eliminated. Compared to these alternatives, bending is a cost-effective solution which maintains the structural integrity and strength of the tube. In some cases, cutting and welding may weaken the fabricated piece (especially in the heat-affected zone), and bending is often the best option for maintaining strength and durability.

There are a wide range of applications for our CNC tube bending services, to name a few:

• In the construction and infrastructure sector, it is employed to fabricate structural elements like handrails, guardrails, and support frames. These bent tubes provide stability, strength, and aesthetic appeal to buildings and other structures.
• It is extensively utilised in the automotive industry to create exhaust systems, roll cages, and chassis components. These bent tubes offer improved performance, space optimisation, and enhanced safety in vehicles. 
• In the field of transportation, tube bending is used to fabricate components for bicycles, motorcycles, and even aerospace equipment.
• In addition, it is often used in the manufacturing of furniture, such as chairs and tables, where curved metal frames are desired for both functionality and design.

At Link Business, we use CNC tube bending machines to provide draw bending and ring rolling services:

• Draw bending is a technique used in the fabrication of metal tubes to create precise and complex bends. The process involves pulling the tube through a series of dies or mandrels to form your desired bend. Tube draw bending is commonly used in various industries, such as automotive, aerospace, and construction, to manufacture components like exhaust systems, handrails, and frames.
• Ring rolling is a method employed to form rings or circular shapes out of metal tubes. This involves passing the tube through a set of rollers that progressively shape the tube into a circular form. This technique is often used in industries where circular components are required, such as oil and gas, manufacturing, and infrastructure. It allows for the production of rings with consistent thickness and diameter, ensuring structural integrity and precision.

As an experienced tube bending company, we provide tube manipulation for a wide range of metals, including Mild Steel, Stainless Steel, Aluminium, and Copper. We are capable of bending tubes with outer diameters ranging from 10mm to 90mm and 3.2m in length - while delivering a bending accuracy of approximately +-0.2 degrees.
