The image shows an automated industrial bending installation equipped with precision feeding and control systems, capable of manufacturing tubular components tailored for multiple applications. This type of technology represents the evolution of custom tube bending, a solution that allows you to meet the specific needs of each production sector with maximum efficiency and reliability.
At COES, from Terrassa (Barcelona), we develop custom projects for national and international clients who require unique pieces, short runs, or high-volume productions while maintaining high quality standards.
Custom tube bending involves shaping metal tubes into specific curves or angles according to precise specifications. This process is used to create components for various industries, including automotive, aerospace, furniture manufacturing, and medical equipment. Tube bending can be done using different methods, such as rotary draw bending, press bending, and roll bending, depending on the material, wall thickness, and desired bend radius.
Custom bending involves adapting each piece to the functional and technical requirements of the project. Factors such as material, diameter, thickness, bending radii, dimensional tolerances, and complementary processes necessary to obtain the final result are considered.
Far from being a standard solution, this approach allows for optimized integration of components in complex industrial systems and improved overall product performance.
