We specialize in the processing of various metal alloys

Steel

Steel is the ideal material for those looking for strength, reliability and an excellent quality-price ratio. Thanks to its versatility, it is used in sectors such as furniture, agriculture, automotive, construction machinery, pressure washer frames and power generators.

Stainless steel

Stainless steel is essential wherever hygiene, corrosion resistance and an impeccable finish are required. Typical applications include the food industry, refrigeration, exhaust manifolds and luxury furniture.

Aluminium

Aluminium is the perfect solution for projects that require lightness and conductivity, without sacrificing mechanical resistance. It is used in: Outdoor furniture, automotive, lighting, aerospace.

Our bending department is equipped with BLM Group technologies ELECT and E-TURN40, which enable us to perform high-precision machining on tubes and profiles. The integration between advanced CNC machinery and highly qualified personnel guarantees constant quality, maximum repeatability and production flexibility to meet the needs of different industrial sectors.

Tube bending can be combined with other processes:

We integrate tube bending with complementary processes in a single operational flow. This synergy allows us to reduce production times, while guaranteeing absolute standards of precision and quality.

Laser cutting

Laser cutting allows you to create holes, slots and shapes with high precision, guaranteeing constant quality and maximum production flexibility.

Stamping

After bending, the tubes can be stamped to create holes, grooves, flattening and other functional processes.

Welding

Welding completes the production process allowing the assembly of components and structures with precision and reliability.

Tube forming

Shaping allows you to modify the geometry of the tube through flattening, deformations and specific processes based on the project.

Industrial application sectors

RECA creates custom pipes, profiles and metal components for industrial applications that require precision, resistance and production continuity. From furniture to transport, from construction to professional machinery, we adapt materials, geometries and processes to the technical specifications of each sector.

Technical answers

Frequently asked questions about tube and profile bending

Useful guidance for assessing radii, geometries, materials and repeatability of bent components.

Request a technical assessment
Which materials can RECA bend?

RECA bends tubes and profiles in carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminium. Tooling and parameters are selected according to material properties, section, wall thickness, radius and the required visual result.

How is the feasibility of a tube bend assessed?

The review considers part geometry, tube diameter or profile section, wall thickness, radii, angles, straight lengths and tolerances. These factors are used to define the most suitable machine cycle and tooling.

Can RECA produce complex and repeatable bent geometries?

Yes. CNC equipment, dedicated tooling and process controls make it possible to manage parts with multiple bends and orientations. The setup is developed from the customer drawing and verified to maintain quality and repeatability in series production.

Can bending be integrated with cutting and welding?

Yes. Tubes can be cut, bent, end formed, stamped and then welded or assembled. Coordinating the operations reduces handling and makes dimensional and assembly control more effective.

Which files are required for a custom tube bending request?

A 3D model or dimensioned drawing should include material, section, wall thickness, radii, tolerances and quantities. It is also useful to identify cosmetic areas, welds, treatments and assembly conditions.
