Tubing Automation
Automation for a variety of tubes has long been a specialty at Armo. We meet your need for complete end-to-end production of tubes. From small diameter complex tube bending to pre-bending endform and fitting placement and post-bend assembly operations. All work is performed in-house, from design to electrical build and programming including runoff and acceptance. This lets us meet your challenging timing and exacting quality requirements.
Tube bending machines are typically used in automotive for fuel lines, steering systems, brakes, hydraulics and air conditioning systems for the transfer of oil, coolant, water and other fluids. We have grown our experience to larger diameter, heavier tubes from torsion bars to stabilizer bars. Armo has built hundreds of bender machines, and specialize in high speed machines to produce superior quality parts and for manufacturers that require more complexities in their production process. We even support manufacturers of tubes for the nuclear industry.
