Precision Tube Bending Expertise
Cheesman specializes in rotary draw bending of stainless steel tube, delivering precision-formed components for a wide range of applications. With extensive expertise in tube manipulation, Cheesman ensures high-quality bends with minimal distortion, meeting the exacting standards of industries such as automotive, aerospace, military, and industrial manufacturing.
Capabilities
Cheesman’s investment in state-of-the-art CNC tube bending equipment allows for precise control over a variety of bend profiles, diameters, and radii. The company’s ongoing commitment to tooling development ensures the ability to achieve optimal tube forms for each specific application.
Key Bending Capabilities:
- Mandrel Bending – Maintains tube integrity and diameter throughout the bend.
- 1D Bending – Enables tight-radius bends for compact installations.
- Up to 4” Diameter Bending – Accommodates larger tubing needs.
- Multi-Bend Processing – Allows for multiple bends within a single tube length, ensuring accuracy and repeatability.
Advanced Tube Bending Technology
1D Bending – Tight Radius Solutions
Cheesman offers 1D bending across a variety of tube diameters, allowing for compact, space-efficient designs.
This capability is essential for applications where components must fit within confined spaces without compromising flow dynamics or structural integrity.
Large Diameter Bending – Up to 4”
The largest tube diameter bent in-house at Cheesman is 4 inches, with bending capabilities for both:
- 6” CLR (Center Line Radius)
- 1D Bends for Compact Fitment
This capability allows Cheesman to support a wide range of industries, including heavy-duty vehicles, industrial exhaust systems, and custom fabrications.
Mandrel Bending – Superior Structural Integrity
The use of an internal mandrel during the bending process ensures minimal loss of tube diameter, reducing deformation and maintaining smooth internal flow characteristics. Cheesman’s advanced CNC tube bending machines provide precise control, enabling the production of multiple bends within a single tube length.
All bent tube components undergo rigorous dimensional verification using XYZ coordinate measurement or YBC data validation to ensure absolute accuracy and consistency.
