Custom Tube Bending
Balford delivers precision tube bending for round, square, and formed tubing. Our automated forming equipment and purpose-built tooling hold bend angle, radius, appearance, and dimensional consistency from prototype through volume production runs.
We support bent tubes and tubular assemblies for fluid routing, structural support, compact packaging, and appearance-critical applications across automotive, HVAC, refrigeration, industrial, and equipment projects.
Tube Bending Methods
We select the right tooling and bending method to control flattening, wrinkling, springback, and surface marking.
Rotary Draw Bending
A controlled die set produces accurate, repeatable bends for close-tolerance parts and multi-bend tube designs.
Mandrel Bending
Internal support preserves the cross-section when a project requires a tighter radius or thin-wall tubing.
Roll Bending
Progressive forming produces larger, smooth radii for structural frames, guards, rails, and architectural components.
Compression Bending
A practical method for straightforward bends, production components, and applications with generous bend radii.
