Tube & Pipe Fabrication
Sawing, cutting and deburring, bending, notching, slotting, piercing, drilling, welding or other fabrication of tube and pipe lengths to produce individual parts meeting desired specifications used for assembly. Common types of machinery used to perform these operations range from manual and semi-automated tube benders, end formers, tube notchers and tube cutters to fully automated laser tube cutting systems that complete multiple fabrication steps in one machine.

Schwarze-Robitec’s CNC 60 DB Twin booster bending machine steps up to the uncompromising specifications of a major Russian boiler manufacturer. Boilers need maximum surface area to ensure highest heat transfer – the machine handles the required narrow bending and tight tolerances.
One of the fastest-growing sectors of North American metal manufacturing is laser processing of tubes and profiles. Design software and machines that automatically perform multiple manufacturing steps are making this complicated fabrication process cost-effective for smaller companies.
A Nevada company became a single-source supplier after installing a fiber laser tube cutter and replacing a CO2 sheet cutter with a fiber laser cutter. With a fiscal year of April to April, B&J Inc. is on track to surpass its yearly sales goal by 20%.
Disappointed with the quality and turnaround time of outsourced plating, Tube-Mac decided to bring the process in-house. Turnaround time fell more than 80%, from two weeks to two days. The manufacturer’s also no longer paying to ship components off-site for plating.
Total-Process Pipe-Cutting Productivity On A Small Footprint.
New, improved and optimized machines and software boost productivity in tube and pipe projects.
While metal tube processing is at the core of the BLM Group’s solutions, its expertise and in-depth knowledge of metal processing has led to a portfolio that includes flat sheet laser cutting systems, 5-axis laser cutting systems and more.
