Camera-based measurement system sends waves of productivity through fabrication shop

Bob Burns, owner and president of Aero Bending Co., Palmdale, Calif., experienced a steady growth in business since he purchased the company in 2007, and after moving to a new building to accommodate future growth, he began to evaluate the next equipment investment that would best serve the business. His first idea was to add another tube bending machine. Although the company does quite a bit of sheet metal work and holds a number of welding accreditations and certifications, its bread and butter is tube bending. It specializes in thin-wall tubing from Vie to 6 inches in diameter in aluminum, titanium, stainless steel, copper, and INCONEL? alloy.
