Tubing Fabrication
What is Tubing Fabrication?
Tube bending or forming is a manufacturing process where metal is permanently formed into a tube-like structure, many times with the aid of a form. There are many ways in which to manufacture tubing. Methods generally involve some combination of temperature control, specialized equipment, and materials.
Components specializes in custom tube manufacturing. We work with a variety of materials, producing coiled, bent, or formed tubing for multiple industries and applications. We can produce multiple shapes and sizes fit for various end-uses.

TYPES OF CUSTOM TUBE BENDING AND FABRICATION
Tube Bending vs. Tube Winding
Custom Metal Alloy Coil Tube Bending
Custom tube bending is the process of creating bends within metal alloy tubing at different angles and axes in one or more directions. Components can produce a variety of custom tubing configurations. A custom-bent metal tube can include any number of simple configurations, like a single bend at the center or to one side anywhere along the tube. More complex custom metal tubing could look like a succession of bends of multiple degrees at several points along the length of the metal tubing.

Custom Metal Alloy Coil Tube Winding
Winding for custom metal tubing is when metal tubing is wound in a continuous loop where the coils stack on each other (with or without space between), creating a shape similar to a spring. Typically metal tubing is wound in a circular pattern; however, as a custom tubing manufacturer, we can work with your team to determine the necessary coil shape, size, and configuration for your application.
Industries Served
These tubing fabrication procedures are used most often in the production of precision components designed for use in very specific applications. Our formed tubing products are found in a variety of industries.
Custom Applications
There are a number of uses for formed tubing. Some custom applications include the following; however, we are happy to customize a product to your desired specifications and end-use requirements.
