Consider the Big Picture when Manufacturing Complex Tube Assemblies
Jun 30, 2020 4:30:00 PM
Manufacturers are continually looking for ways to eliminate waste in their manufacturing process and save cost. Tube fabricators are no different. This becomes even more evident when multiple tubes are required to build an assembly.
One of the most cumbersome challenges faced by tube fabricators is the joining of tube components. Difficulties are often encountered with fit-up, fixturing and assembly.
This is especially true when secondary process operations, such coping and mitering, are required after the bending process.
