Case study: the Tube Center
to centralize tube bending, cutting, and forming
Client objective
Centralize multiple operations on metal tubes (bending, cutting, deburring, inspection) into a single compact, precise station suitable for varied production runs.
Our solution
A3S Mécanique designed and built a custom special-purpose machine called the Tube Center. It integrates several key functions into a single piece of equipment, with a touch interface, modular design, and high reliability.
Integrated functions
- Programmable multi-radius bending
- Automatic cutting and deburring
- End forming
- Integrated length and angle control
- Touchscreen control
- Adaptable to various materials (steel, stainless steel, aluminum, etc.)
Key strengths of the solution
- Time-saving: centralized operations
- Repeatability and quality guaranteed
- User-friendly thanks to automation
- Scalability: modular machine adaptable to other series
- 100% A3S-made: design, production, and fine-tuning in our workshops
Result
A compact, robust, and intuitive machine, perfectly integrated into the client’s production process, with a fast return on investment.
