At The Metal Shop, we've honed our expertise in tube bending to provide unparalleled service and quality to our clients. We specialize in tube bending services for Wisconsin, utilizing cutting-edge CNC bending equipment to meet a diverse array of needs.

State-of-the-Art CNC Bending Equipment

At the heart of our operations lies our CNC bending equipment, capable of accommodating mild steel, stainless steel, and aluminum tubing with sizes ranging up to 6" O.D. Our premier tube bender, the Electric StarBender from ITEC, stands as a testament to our commitment to innovation and excellence. This 3D Freeform bender with interpolation boasts a capacity of 14 gauge, 2-inch mild steel, offering a level of versatility and precision unrivaled in the industry.

The Electric StarBender's unique capabilities enable us to bend tubes in a single setup, eliminating the need for multiple iterations common with conventional benders. This not only streamlines the production process but also reduces material waste and tooling costs. Moreover, its freeform bending capability empowers us to assist clients in designing complex tube parts with ease, bringing their creative visions to life.

Seamless Integration with Tube Laser

Integration is key to efficiency, and our Electric StarBender seamlessly interfaces with our tube laser system. With just a few clicks of the mouse, we can take parts from the tube laser and form them on the StarBender, ensuring precision and consistency throughout the manufacturing process.

Expanded Capabilities for Varied Needs

For larger tube diameters and heavier gauge applications, we turn to our CNC Eaton Leonard bender. This double-stack unit is geared towards structural parts, offering the robustness and reliability necessary for demanding projects.

In addition to bending, our tube rolling machines provide versatility for shaping tubes into coils, circles, or large arcs. Equipped with Arkus CNC Roll Benders from Switzerland, these machines enable us to roll a wide variety of materials, including square, rectangular, round, obround, and angle material. From simple curves to complex compound radius rolling, our tube rolling capabilities are unmatched, with the capacity to handle round tubing up to 4" round and 6" square.

Expertise in Swaging

Furthermore, we offer swaging services, predominantly catering to aluminum, copper, or thin-wall steel tubing. Swaging involves reducing the outside diameter of tubing to a specific dimension, a process that is quick, cost-effective, and produces minimal waste. Our Finn-Power P32 VS23 swaging machine handles tube sizes ranging from 4mm to 87mm, ensuring precision and consistency in every swaged component.

Conclusion

At The Metal Shop, precision, quality, and innovation are the cornerstones of our tube bending services. With state-of-the-art equipment, experienced craftsmen, and a dedication to excellence, we stand ready to meet and exceed the expectations of our clients, delivering solutions tailored to their unique needs. Whether it's a simple bend or a complex fabrication project, trust The Metal Shop to provide the expertise and precision you deserve.
