Faster, Smarter, Stronger
Ace Wire Works has taken another step forward in custom fabrication by investing in a new all-electric CNC tube bending system. This advanced technology expands our production capabilities and opens new markets where precision, efficiency, and flexibility are critical. For clients across industries, this means more options, faster turnaround, and higher quality results.
In this article, we will explore what tube bending is, how our new system works, the benefits it offers, and the industries that will benefit most from this investment. By the end, you’ll see why Ace Wire Works is setting new standards in Australian manufacturing.
What Is Tube Bending?
Tube bending is the process of shaping metal tubing into precise curves and angles without compromising its strength or structural integrity. Metal tubes are a backbone material in countless industries, and the ability to bend them accurately unlocks enormous design and engineering potential.
Traditional tube bending often required manual setups, which were time-consuming and limited in accuracy. With CNC (Computer Numerical Control) technology, tube bending has entered a new era. CNC systems provide digital precision, repeatability, and the ability to create complex shapes that would be impossible or inconsistent with manual methods.
Common Applications of Tube Bending
In all of these sectors, tube bending allows strong, lightweight, and precise components to be produced quickly and cost-effectively.
Ace Wire’s New CNC Tube Bending System
At the heart of Ace Wire’s latest upgrade is the all-electric tube bender, equipped with advanced CNC controls. This is one of the most sophisticated tube bending systems available, representing the very best in global technology.
Key Features of the System
These features mean that Ace Wire can now produce parts with unprecedented precision and efficiency, opening the door to design freedom and advanced customisation.
How the Technology Works
The system allows operators to create new part designs from scratch in just minutes. Using integrated CAD software, 3D drawings can be imported directly, reducing setup time. The system automatically adjusts for spring back, material elongation, and interference zones, ensuring consistent results with every cycle.
The Direct Gear Transmission system removes inefficiencies common in chain-driven machines, reducing maintenance needs while delivering high bending accuracy of ±0.05° to ±0.1°. For customers, this translates to better fit, smoother finishes, and greater durability.
Additionally, the system supports multi-stack tooling, enabling multiple radii bends in a single piece. This is a game-changer for industries such as furniture and automotive, where designs often require complex forms.
Benefits for Customers
Investing in this state-of-the-art tube bender isn’t just about technology, it’s about what it means for our clients. Here’s what you can expect:
These advantages mean Ace Wire can deliver greater value to customers in every sector we work with.
Real-World Applications
With the new CNC tube bending system, the possibilities are nearly endless. Some of the most immediate applications include:
Retail and Commercial Furniture
Wire and tube-based furniture designs rely on clean lines and precision angles. With our new system, we can create seating, tables, shelving, and display units that are both durable and aesthetically pleasing.
Transport
From exhaust systems to anti-sail brackets and heavy-duty supports, transport and logistics applications demand precision and strength. The system ensures compliance with industry standards while enhancing durability.
Healthcare and Fitness Equipment
Medical and fitness industries require products that are safe, ergonomic, and long-lasting. Our tube bending system delivers the consistency needed for hospital frames, rehabilitation devices, and gym equipment.
Custom Fabrication
For one-off projects, architectural features, or bespoke industrial solutions, Ace Wire can now provide clients with highly customised designs, delivered with speed and accuracy.
