Tube Bending

Tube Bending

Argo Spring's custom tube bending process can meet the demands of low or high volume production with hydraulic, manual, mechanical, and roll bending equipment. By utilizing multi-axis, dual radius tube bending equipment, Argo Spring can accommodate challenging designs requiring single or multi-plane bends. Our precision equipment provides smooth uniform bends that minimize crimping and collapsing distortions that result in poor quality.

With an experienced engineering department, we interact with the customers to find the right combination of wall thicknesses, diameters, number of bends, and angles that are best suited for the tubing applications. Our staff will advise on design constraints and potential production issues for material ranging from round mild steel to square bronze tubings.
