Precision Aluminium Bending Powers Airport Security Innovation
T&T Tubecraft is proud to highlight a recent project that demonstrates our expertise in precision aluminium extrusion bending—a critical component for a leading manufacturer of airport security screening conveyor systems.
This bespoke solution was engineered to meet the rigorous standards of continuous airport operation, requiring tight tolerances, exceptional surface finish, and absolute accuracy in forming complex aluminium profiles.
Built for Demanding Environments
For this project, our client required high-precision, pre-drilled aluminium extrusions to be bent and cut to final length before delivery—completely ready for installation into high-throughput baggage handling systems used in airport security checkpoints.
The anodising requirement after bending demanded a pristine surface finish. To meet this challenge, T&T Tubecraft implemented enhanced handling procedures throughout the process to prevent any marking or deformation of the profiles, ensuring a flawless final product.
Key Project Highlights
- ✅ Expert aluminium extrusion bending for high-specification airport conveyor systems
- ✅ Complex profile handling with pre-drilled features and precision cutting
- ✅ Surface perfection achieved for post-bend anodising requirements
- ✅ Built for 24/7 use in mission-critical security environments

We are closed for the Christmas holiday period
It is that time of year again where our manufacturing headquarters will close for the Christmas holidays. This year has seen us undertake some exciting projects including one of our products heading for Mexico, upgrading with our brand new all-electric high power dual stack CNC tube bending machine and also installing 270 solar panels on […]
Tubecraft now powered by 270 solar panels!
Here at Tubecraft all our bends are created at our main headquarters in Lymington, Hampshire. Recently, we have undergone the installation of a 96kw solar power system that will allow us to generate enough solar for our high energy needs. The 96kw is delivered by 270 solar panels on the roof of our main manufacturing […]
Mandrel Bending of Tube and Pipe for Pneumatic Conveying
Smooth Flow Path: Mandrel bending minimizes deformation and wrinkles on the inner surface of the bend. This results in a smoother flow path for the conveyed material, reducing the risk of blockages and turbulence that could affect conveying efficiency. Consistent Diameter: Since the mandrel provides internal support, the pipe retains a more consistent diameter throughout […]
An Introduction to Section Bending
Section Bending, also known as profile bending or section rolling, is a metal forming process used to bend or curve structural shapes and profiles into specific shapes or radii. Unlike section rolling, which primarily focuses on changing the cross-sectional shape of the material, section bending is all about altering the curvature of the material while maintaining its original […]
Ai ChatGPT and Mandrel Tube Bending
As an interesting exercise, and always wanting to keep up with the latest technology we thought we would put Ai ChatGPT to the test on how to solve mandrel tube bending issues. Here’s the response from Ai Chat GPT. To solve mandrel bending issues, you can take several steps to identify the problem and address […]
