Fabrinox adds tube-bending service

Paarl-based sheet metal component manufacturer, Fabrinox announced that they are continuing to grow their service offerings this year as they acquire a CNC tube bender.

“We have made this investment in response to our customers’ needs and expect to be able to offer this new service this winter. It will enable us to streamline our operations on certain current projects, as well as increase the services we offer in the future,” says MD, Andre Visser.

The high-tech computer numerically controlled (CNC) tube bender will allow the company to produce many of the components that have previously been imported or outsourced, thus cutting costs and streamlining operations.

The tube bender works with visual 3D-graphic software (VGP,) that controls and moves the 9 axes of the machine, and allows any kind of bending for tubes with diameter from 4 mm up to diameter 80mm, with less than 1D radius and freely-programmable variable radius. The machine is designed for a multitude of bending jobs, including furniture applications and complex components.

This adds another feather in the cap of the company that already specialises in sheet metal manufacturing, laser cutting, CNC bending, welding, cutting, stainless steel polishing, bead blasting and jobbing.

Fabrinox is a one-stop, customer-orientated company specialising in solutions for the engineering sector. This includes manufacturing of metal components, sub-assemblies and projects entailing under-licence manufacturing. The company can take a project from inception to completion, and will outsource any work it cannot complete itself, thereby taking the responsibility of the 3rd party off the client’s shoulders.

With over 7,000m2 at its disposal, and a staff compliment of 142, Fabrinox aims to offer the right solution to each customer’s specific needs. In it’s endeavour to offer this one stop manufacturing solution, Fabrinox also offers its clients office space in the factory, subcontractors / employees within the production line and space to complete the project before shipping, thereby becoming an extension of the client’s own factory. Fabrinox is currently growing the number of installation teams (currently 4) to assist with the growing demand for local and international installation.  The company’s installation and commissioning teams are currently working in Europe and Far East.

Fabrinox boasts national and international clients from a broad spectrum of sectors, including agriculture, architecture, building and construction, energy, food and beverage, furniture, mining, OEMs, transport and water treatment.
