Mandrel Bending Tasmania is located in Southern Tasmania. We provide custom mandrel bent tube and metal fabrication/finishing services.
Contact us below for information about custom bending work on our CSM Mandrel Bender or fabrication in our workshop.
We have a range of tooling available up to 2″ (50.8mm) tube, with more tooling available based on job size and specification. Please see Tooling below for more details.
We also offer a range of fabrication services including welding and finishing. Please see Services below for further details.
SERVICES
CUSTOM TUBE BENDING
Mandrel bending is when a metal mandrel is placed into the tube as it is pulled around a forming die. This retains the shape of the tube throughout the radius of the bend, and prevents any warping.
Multiple bends of different radii and angle can be made on the same length of tube, separated at minimum by the clamp length.
The radius (sharp bend, slow bend) of our custom tube bends is based on the size of the forming die. Various sizes of forming die are available and are listed below in our tooling section.
Custom tube bends allow you to design a part specifically for your needs.
METAL FABRICATION & FINISHING
At Mandrel Bending Tasmania we are skilled metal fabricators.
If your custom bends need polishing, trimming, shortening or adaptation prior to delivery we can help.
Our workshop is set up for all fabrication needs. This includes: welding and purge welding, mill and lathe work, metal finishing and polishing. We can modify your custom mandrel bends into any shape you need.
