FAQ

We offer CNC tube bending up to 8” OD and NC bending up to 10” OD, supporting both small and large-diameter projects. Our new 12-axis multi-stack Horn bender and 8″ Schwarze-Robitec bender expand our range even further, allowing us to handle complex geometries and heavy-wall tubing with precision and repeatability. In-house capabilities also include laser tube cutting, end forming, and welding, allowing us to produce parts with precision bends, complex geometries, and high repeatability.

We supply OEM and contract-manufactured tubing components and assemblies for a range of industries, including industrial diesel engines, power generation, heavy equipment, and emergency vehicles. Common parts include engine exhaust and intake assemblies, radiator inlet and outlet tubes, and charge-air-cooler (CAC) connections. With in-house bending, laser tube cutting, end-forming, and welding, we deliver production-ready components built to your specs. 

Yes - our catalog line includes a complete range of tubing, bends, fittings, couplings, and accessories for industrial vacuum (IVAC) and pneumatic conveying systems. These parts are stocked for quick turnaround and designed for long-term system reliability.

With a deep base of bend setups already proven in production, we can often match new parts to existing tooling - reducing setup time and keeping projects moving quickly. Pair that with in-stock materials and engineering guidance for manufacturability, and you can shorten turnaround without new tooling or design changes.

Pricing depends on part complexity, material type, and setup requirements. Each diameter, wall thickness, or bend radius change can require different tooling or machine setups. Ordering multiple pieces from the same setup helps distribute that cost over more parts - improving efficiency and lowering the cost per unit.

• Choose common tube diameters, wall thicknesses, and material grades — these typically align with our existing tooling and inventory.

  • Our engineering team can provide recommendations to help you identify the most cost-effective fit for your design while you retain full design responsibility.

• A fully custom bend may not always be necessary. Our catalog offerings provide a quick-turn alternative that fits most applications and delivers reliable performance.

  • If you’re unsure which route makes sense, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Yes - when you order higher quantities or set up a blanket purchase order, we can often offer volume-based pricing that lowers your cost per part.

• Consolidating orders into consistent release schedules helps us plan production more efficiently, which saves both time and cost.

• Even though we don’t require a strict minimum order quantity, higher volumes naturally create better efficiencies for both sides.

Absolutely. We can create custom variations of our catalog tube bends to fit your specific requirements - including different tangents, end configurations, materials, or bend radii. These small adjustments let you get the exact geometry you need while keeping the proven quality and fit of our standard parts.

Through our Kitting Program, we can combine multiple SKUs into a single kit, simplifying your inventory while making parts easier to pick and assemble.

Working closely with your team, we can package parts in the format that best fits your operation, including:

• Disposable packaging

• Returnable, reusable dunnage

• Custom-made packaging

• Sequentially ordered packaging to support line-side assembly or staged installs

Yes - our BLM LT8.20 laser tube cutting system enables precise, repeatable cuts, slots, and hole patterns on both straight and pre-bent parts. Laser cutting allows faster turnaround, tighter tolerances, and cleaner assemblies compared to traditional sawing or drilling, making it ideal for both prototypes and production runs.
