Tube benders for large diameter tubes and bars are systems capable of applying the considerable thrust forces and bending torque required to bend large pipes and are also able to optimally control the force exerted on the tube and the deformation of the material through the interpolated movement of the core, slide and clamping.

Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) in laser cutting for Aerospace components
Sep 19, 2024 7:45:00 AM
In aerospace and aeronautical manufacturing, fiber lasers have revolutionized cutting techniques and now standing toe-to-toe with non-thermal methods, offering high quality cuts with minimal Heat Affected Zone (HAZ). In fact, modern fiber lasers drastically reduce material embrittlement and process components at speeds that far exceed machining and other non-thermal technologies.
