Rectangular tubing bend orientation can be confusing. Many simply call the two options the “hard way,” and the “easy way.” We designate two planes of rectangular-tube bending: Y, (around the Major axis) or X= around the minor axis. Our rectangular bends are used, by...
Rectangular Tubing
In any pneumatic tubing system, the installer must choose not only the pathway of the tubing, the radius of the bends, and airspeed, but also support. One can support the tubing by many means but sometimes the engineer needs to accommodate for a long span. In cases...
We received a challenge from a customer who needed to convey closures through a labyrinth of machines, fixtures, and clearances to get to the loading bin. The trick involved a rectangular twist. Rectangular twists provide a change of orientation of closures (lids in...
When the call came in to produce a large run of 6″ x 3.5″ Rectangular Butyrate Tubing in a short time, we got to work. From inquiry to drawing, design, tooling, and then to production it took 3 weeks. We were pleased with the results. Above, we see an...
Currently, we are preparing for a rectangular helical bend for a cup company. They are conveying squat cups and want a holding area for them. Thus, their engineer wants a 2 tier helix where the cups will travel in a vertical position. This would require the...
Earlier we posted on our ability to fabricate rectangular tubing from our stock round Busada 200 Tubing. Recently we had a request to a 4.375 x 3.375″ rectangular tube for a prototype test for pneumatic conveyance of squat paper cups. This is an inexpensive...
Often our customers need a specialized rectangular tube, but not enough to justify the expense of tooling and an extrusion run. Our answer is to fabricate from round. Recently, a customer needed a simple 4″ x 5″ rectangular tube and bend. By secondary...
