Tube machining
Lathing metal tubes
Lathing on tubes and solid round bars that can be bent or become parts of welded assemblies.
Types of tubes and relative cross sections
The CNC lathe can perform an additional service on straight bars for tubes and solid round bars, as well as for specific parts.
Round tubes and solid round bars
- Minimum cross section: Ø10 mm
- Maximum cross section: Ø75 mm
Metal alloys
We lathe tubes, section bars and tubular elements in the main metal alloys of aluminum, stainless steel and iron.
High performance cnc lathe
When the client requests additional services like threading on the inside or outside, beveling, drilling, counterboring, we at Tecnocurve can satisfy them thanks to our CNC Takisawa lathe. Our investments in high performance technology enable us to eliminate outside passages and to ensure that the client is satisfied by a single supplier.
Methods of bending and processing tubes
Certain processes, like threading or reducing the thickness, if done after bending, risk becoming difficult to be managed and complicated to perform. This is mainly due to the dimensions of the bent part, which can no longer be inserted in the lathe, as well as to the fact that performing the process on a straight bar make it decidedly quicker and more accurate, without the difficulties of doing it after cold bending.
Lathing and Roll Bending
Some processes, for example reducing the thickness of the tube in a few points, can be done both before and after roll bending. However, when it is done after, the operation is more complex and definitely less accurate.
Working from a straight bar before cold bending guarantees precision as well as speed.
Lathing and Bending
Even certain bending processes on tubes in steel may require the aid of the CNC lathe.
Among these are beveling or threading (internal and external) which, if done before bending, ensure great accuracy.
Sectors of application: industrial uses
Tubes processed on the lathe are used in a number of industrial sectors like lighting or systems, as well as in the construction of sweeping machines.
Other tube processing activities
Lathing is just one of the additional tube processing activities that we can associate with bending and roll bending. Discover all the processes we can perform on the tube:
