Producing complex tubular components for aerospace fluid systems and automotive chassis requires absolute control over multi-axis movement and tooling engagement. When a part demands varying centerline radii (CLR) or complex compound bends, standard single-stack machinery falls short.

Achieving tight tolerances when forming austenitic stainless steels requires rigorous control over machine kinematics.

An aerospace component manufacturer was experiencing a 9% rejection rate when forming high-strength stainless steel hydraulic lines. Their primary challenge centered on how to bend stainless steel tube on tight radii without causing wall flattening or micro-cracking on the outer radius.
