Hydraulic Tube Route Fabrication

Discussion in 'SolidWorks' started by tritonlogging, Dec 20, 2005.

  1. I'm interested in getting anyone's feedback regarding forming hydraulic

    tube routes using an offsite NC bender.

    We're outfitting a vehicle, about the size of a small car, that has
    upwards of a 100 stainless steel hard line tubes running through it.

    We will likely model thes tube routes using SW routing, so I'm curious
    about just sending the tubes to an offsite (city-away) NC bender. The
    alternative -and the one planned so far- is to bend them by hand using
    our drawings... and tweaking where needed.

    Anyone had any experiences on doing things like this? Is it at all
    feasible, and if so, is it efficient? Can anyone recommend a shop in
    Western Canada/North-Western US?

    Thanks, Scott
