Tube bending fitness
Because lot
of people are interested what could be created with tube bending in general
life without opening covers of aircraft engine we will continue… What industry
is massive, mainly tube bended and rich enough to invest with the most modern tube bending machines? For sure it will be gym and
fitness equipment manufacturing. Just imagine how many cities, how many gyms,
how many units inside…
Some
statistic figures: in US there are more than 34 thousand fitness centers, the
quantity for worldwide: around 153 thousand. The market revenue for gym and
exercise equipment is around $ 2 billion USD. Under some researches gym and fitness
equipment market worldwide is expected to reach $11.9 billion by 2020. And the
great percentages of materials in equipment unit are the bended tubes. So you
can imagine how huge this production branch!
Market
leaders work with real high production so the tube parts are not the subject
for manual bending technologies. Usually companies purchase electric multi-axis
CNC automatic benders to make the parts with the highest speed with the best
repeatability and the quality. In general, tube geometries are not very
complicated but requirements for non-availability of surface deformation,
scratches or tube ovality could be very high.
Manufacturing
of gym and fitness equipment doesn’t require any serious special developments
and complete changes of the technology. As the engineering stage everything is
very near to the ideal today so the next supplier of the machinery will be the
company who will offer high speed full-electric for the best price. For sure
the industry is adapted for automatization solutions but this will be outside
of the machine.
