Ased tube bending, end forming and swaging THERE are many major business sectors where product requirements constantly evolve. As a result simple and versatile machines and equipment are required that offer the highest level of reliability, performance and adaptability. The solutions proposed by Ased are hydraulically conceived to perform deformations, tapering folds and punching of metal tubes. Internal design and construction allow precision, time saving and competitiveness for the customer in a tough international market. Tube bending is a difficult process with unavoidable trial and error. Making the perfect bend depends on several factors: materials, machines, tooling and lubrication. When you are specifying a bending machine, the centerline radius, the outside diameter, and wall thickness are critical variables, together with a good tooling setup. Ased knows how to manage these issues and puts great attention into developing its sophisticated bending solutions. separate way, or with a different radius of curvature. ASED end forming machines are custom built to meet specific customer requirements. They are able to modify the ends of steel, copper, aluminium and brass tubes. Metal tubes are used inmany sectors – school, home, office furniture, industrial, automotive, leisure and gardening just to name a few. School benches, chairs, shelves, radiators, gardening accessories, stairs and scaffolding are in daily use. The diameter and length ranges of the treated tubes are very wide and the need for customisation is very high as is the level of performance and the after-sales service required. The Ased machines are designed to be versatile and reliable

A spokesman said: “Here at Ased a series of hydraulic units are combined to work simultaneously, or sequentially, to allow all the workings required on the specific piece. In the case of bending machines, both use and maintenance are immediate thanks to the simple design, the dimensions are limited and the fast retooling ensures a flexible production. The two bending heads present can work simultaneously or in a
