Capabilities

Ace Tube Bending's specialization is working with rigid tubing of aerospace alloys to manufacture tube and duct assemblies. The parts can be simple, as with bending and installing end fittings, or complex assemblies with machined components that include welding. The tubing includes sizes from 1/16 OD to 3 1/2" diameter, with wall thicknesses as thin as .012.
