Tolerences for Bending
Tolerences for Aluminium Bending
Many clients will put forward their own tolerances for their projects. In cases where tolerances are not given we will use our standard tolerances as follows:
StandardAluminium Bending Tolerances | |
Diameter | Tolerences |
Up to 500mm | Dia +/- 2mm |
500mm to 1000mm | Dia +/- 2.5mm |
1000mm to 2000mm | Dia +/- 4.0mm |
2000mm to 6000mm | Dia +/- 6.0mm |
Over 6000mm | +/- Dia / 1000mm |
Max deviation – L/1000 or 6mm Which ever is greater |
On many occasions we have worked to tighter tolerances and if you feel your project might require more than our standard tolerance we encourage you to let us know.
We are leaders in the field of aluminium forming and our abilities are unmatched in terms of bending parts that others deem impossible.
We use a number of different Quality checking methods to ensure that our parts are within tolerance. These include Plots, Check Jigs, Go / No-Go Gauges, 3D Scanning and Tactive Probing CMM reporting.
You can read more about these methods in this blog post.
This focus on quality extends to all of our inhouse services including aluminium machining, heat treamtment and powder coating. This inhouse premium production is what sets us apart as an aluminium bending company.
