CBC Mandrel Tube Bending Machines

The CBC range of mandrel tube bending machines have been designed for the bending of thin walled tubes to a tight radius. The mandrel is positioned at the point of bend to prevent both wrinkling on the inside and flattening on the outside of the tube, while a wiper die supports the inside of the bend close to the former. A slider guide moves in tandem with the tube to reduce marking, particularly to decorative material such as polished stainless steel.

Plate Rolling — How to Choose the Right Machine

Unlocking Efficiency & Precision: Why UK Manufacturers Are Moving to Tube Laser Cutting

In modern metal manufacturering, staying competitive requires balancing speed, precision, and operational efficiency. Traditional tube processing methods, such as sawing, drilling, punching, and manual deburring, are notoriously labor-intensive and prone to human error. Each additional handling stage introduces potential for delay, increased costs, and inconsistency.

The Impact of the Defence Sector on UK Metal Fabrication Demand

UK defence spending is rising at a pace not seen since the Cold War, and for metal fabricators with the right capabilities, that represents a significant commercial opportunity. Understanding where the demand is coming from, and what it means for workshop investment, is worth the attention of any fabrication business looking to grow.

A unique solution for welding fume extraction

In recent years, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has placed welding fumes under closer scrutiny, with scientific evidence linking exposure to a range of health issues, including lung cancer, neurological disorders, and asthma. Employers have a duty to provide a safe and healthy working environment for their staff, which includes putting effective controls in place to manage exposure to welding fumes — general ventilation on its own is not enough to adequately mitigate the risks. Although welders themselves may be adequately protected by PPE, the HSE has placed particular emphasis on other employees who share the same workspace.
