We have a full range of capabilities available to manufacture tube components including welding, cutting and bending.
We have a range of different cutting techniques used in tube manipulation.
Abrasive cutting is used to provide a sharp, clean cut to create precision tubes and rods. A spinning tungsten carbide impregnated, or diamond grit impregnated, wheel is used to slice through metals from tungsten to stainless steel, producing a polished finish and an accurate cut at the end of the tube or rod.
EDM wire cutting can also be used. It provides a more accurate cut than abrasive, although the latter is still commonly used where a fast cutting speed through a large cross section of metal is important.
We also have the latest precision laser cutting technology available. This involves using a highly accurate laser beam to vaporise the metal tube in a precise spot. By moving the component on the X and Y axes, intricate patterns, designs, slots and cuts can be made in the material.
