How is tube bending used in the aerospace industry ?

One very important way the industry uses aerospace tube bending involves fabricating replacement hydraulic tubes. Precision aerospace tube bending provides an economical way to replace these tubes to quickly repair or replace fluid lines on aircraft. The thick titanium alloy that aerospace engineers often use in such an application requires a powerful aerospace CNC tube bending machine to effectively bend the tubes to the right angle.

CNC control allows the bender to make sure the measurements are precise, whether left-handed or right-handed bending is required, and whether you’re working with larger or smaller tubes. This level of precision is crucial when fabricating parts for planes, which rely on perfectly working parts while they are in the air.

You can find parts fabricated using precision titanium tube bending in everything from smaller planes to major commercial airplanes like Boeing 787 Dreamers or Airbus A380 superjumbo jetliners. If you operate in the aerospace industry and are looking to increase accuracy and reduce costs, finding a quality tube bender could be the perfect solution.
