| Cutting
Department |
|  All
production cutting of tubing and bar is completed on this fully-automatic
Rohbi cold saw. We routinely hold length tolerances of +/- .001”
while maintaining cutting speeds of up to 600 parts per hour. This
sawing system, along with other cold saws and band saws, supply
all departments with tubes for further processing.

| Parts
Washing and Deburring |
 Many
of our products require cleaning and deburring before and during
various stages in the production cycle. This Ramco wash/rinse system
automatically cleans parts using environmentally-friendly cleaning
agents. We use hand and automatic processes such as vibratory tumbling
to remove sharp edges and burrs from our products.
|
| CNC
Area |
 Custom
Tube Products uses the latest in CNC turning equipment to produce
push rod ends and small turned components and fittings used in our
tubular assemblies. This CNC lathe cell currently produces 1500
parts in an 8-hr shift and can be run completely unattended for
lights-out production. Custom Tube Products is one of the only tube
bending and fabrication facilities that produces fittings and small
machined parts in-house. By doing so, we can closely control quality,
cost, and delivery times.
|
| Bending |
 We
bend tubing up to 3” diameter using rotary draw bending with
and without mandrels. We bend aluminum, stainless, and steel tubes
in quantities from one piece to thousands. Our specialties are fluid
carrying lines and intake and exhaust components.
|
| Bent
Tubes |
 Our
numerically-controlled bending process allows us to consistently
produce complex parts with high accuracy and quality.
|
| End
Forming |
 Custom
Tube Products uses ram endforming processes for forming beads, flares,
and special shapes on tube ends. These straight lengths of tube
are having beads formed on both ends at a rate of 300 pieces per
hour. Ram endforming is a highly cost-effective method for forming
tube ends due to relatively low tooling cost and fast cycle times
|
| Flaring
Oil Lines |
 In
this cell, we are flaring tube ends using a rotary process. This
method is effective for producing AN-style 37 degree and 45 degree
flares for use with compression fittings.
|
| Welding |
 We
have a fully-equipped welding department where we TIG weld stainless
tube components used in our exhaust system production. |
| Push
Rod Assembly |
 The
end of the line for push rods is the final assembly and testing department.
Custom Tube Products is currently the world’s largest producer
of aircraft push rod assemblies. We machine the individual components
in-house and assemble between 8,000 and 10,000 completed push rods
each month. |
| Fuel
Line Cell |
 This
cell was developed to produce aircraft fuel line assemblies. Parts
are brazed and tested automatically using custom-designed equipment.
Custom Tube Products specializes in working with customers to develop
innovative methods for part production. |
