With the demand for
lightweight exhaust systems
to help to make vehicles
more fuel efficient and
environmentally friendly,
exhaust system components
have come under a great deal
of scrutiny.

In response to the demand
for accuracy and materials
efficiency, AddisonMcKee
has been demonstrating to
manufacturers and OEMs
how tube bending and endforming
technologies can
help them achieve significant
cost savings. Bending tubes
with thinner walls and tighter
radii using challenging
materials is a speciality of the
company
For example, recently
AddisonMcKee
demonstrated to a truck
exhaust manufacturer how
component manufacture
could be speeded up by 30%
through investment in
models from its DataBend
range.

A series of like-for-like
trials also showed the high
levels of accuracy, reliability
and repeatability that the
company’s technology can
bring.
