Cutting & Bending of Aluminum Cooling Coil

CUTTING AND BENDING OF ALUMINUM COOLING COIL FOR THE MEDICAL INDUSTRY.

This featured cooling coil, manufactured by Advance Tube Engineering, is intended for use within a medical application. In order to fabricate the cooling coil, Advance Tube worked with 6061 aluminum and used a combination of cutting, deburring, polishing, bending, and coiling. The product was also cleaned and inspected prior to packaging. With our superior operations and processes, we were able to meet and exceed our client’s requirements, and we ensured we met the standards outlined in the customer-supplied print and 2D drawing. In total, we produced 800 cooling coils for this client.

We applied to cut and to deburr to achieve a 24.625 inches length and polished the ends. We then bent the coil, achieving a .500″ bend radius, to comply with the print dimensions. The coil was flushed clean to ensure there wasn’t any particulate or machining residue inside the tubing, and the first article inspection was conducted to check cleanliness and dimension measurements. The final cooling coil measured .850 of an inch in height, with a coil outside diameter of 3.50 inches. We held tight tolerances throughout manufacturing, down to +/- .005 of an inch and .5 of a degree. Our flatness and concentricity tolerances were within +/- .005 of an inch. Upon completion, the order of aluminum cooling coils was delivered to our client in Goleta, California. To learn more about this project or others, please contact Advance Tube.
