Manufacturing and Products
We offer high-precision tube bending using advanced German 7-axis all-electric CNC technology, delivering exceptional accuracy and repeatability without the use of hydraulics. Our system bends steel, stainless steel, and titanium tubes up to 40 mm in diameter, with radii from 10 mm to 150 mm and lengths up to 4000 mm. It enables 180° bending and full 360° rotation, with an impressive accuracy of ±0.05° across all axes.
To ensure perfect geometry and full compliance with aerospace standards, every part is validated using AICON 3D measurement technology.
High-Precision Tube Measurement with Aicon TubeInspect P16
At our facility, we use the Aicon TubeInspect P16 system to deliver fast, reliable, and fully automated dimensional control of metal tubes. Equipped with 16 high-resolution measurement cameras, this advanced 3D optical system enables precise, non-contact inspection of tubes made from standard steel, stainless steel, and titanium. It supports tube diameters ranging from 3 mm to 200 mm, lengths of several meters, and bending angles from 1° to 340°.
With an angular accuracy of 0.0001° and a maximum sheath deviation of 0.085 mm (1 Sigma), the TubeInspect P16 meets the most demanding aerospace industry standards. The system is directly linked to our tube bending machines, allowing for automated correction of bending programs without any human intervention. This ensures optimal efficiency, reduced setup times, and full traceability throughout the production process.
We deliver high-precision tube swaging for aerospace applications using Eaton hydraulic equipment, specifically the CPG500 system, to ensure accurate cold forming with zero material loss. Our process supports tube outer diameters from 6.35 mm to 38.1 mm, pressures up to 10,000 psi with ±0.25% accuracy, and works with steel, stainless steel, and titanium tubes of various lengths. We guarantee consistent, repeatable results with tight tolerances, fast automated setup, and full traceability for rigorous quality control.
Orbital Welding
Our orbital welding process delivers precise, high-quality welds for aerospace tubing, ensuring strong, consistent joints with minimal distortion. Powered by an intelligent power supply that integrates state-of-the-art information and communication technology, this system guarantees optimal welding results, high efficiency, and sustainable quality management. Fully automated, it provides superior repeatability and traceability for steel, stainless steel, and titanium materials—meeting the strictest aerospace standards and ensuring the reliability your components demand.
TDM Aerospace has all the necessary technologies to internally support key operations. We are equipped with non-destructive testing capabilities such as dye penetrant inspection, and a digital X-ray radiography machine. These resources are operated by qualified personnel in accordance with international aerospace standards.
X-Ray Inspection System – DR System
At TDM Aerospace, we utilize state-of-the-art Digital Radiography (DR) technology through our VisiConsult X-Ray system, ensuring the highest standards in non-destructive testing for aerospace components.This advanced system provides real-time, high-resolution imaging for the inspection of critical parts, helping us detect internal defects with precision, speed, and full traceability—meeting the most rigorous industry requirements, including Boeing standards.
Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI)
At TDM Aerospace, we perform Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI) as a critical Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) method to verify the integrity of welded joints between tubes and fittings. This technique ensures the detection of surface-breaking defects such as cracks, lack of fusion, or porosity that could compromise safety or performance.Our FPI process is NADCAP-approved, ensuring the highest level of compliance with aerospace industry standards and customer-specific requirements.
Pressure Testing & Final Cleaning
We use the advanced Testfuchs Hoep 1000 system to perform pressure testing and final cleaning of aerospace tubes. Our equipment handles pressures from 7 to 1000 bar with an accuracy of ±0.50%, ensuring your tubes meet the highest standards of integrity and cleanliness. This process guarantees reliable, quality-assured components made from steel, stainless steel, and titanium—ready for the most demanding aerospace applications.
