Tube End Finishing and Bar End Finishing Processes 

From mill length bundle to finished part, Haven can fully automate your tube end finishing and bar end finishing process needs.

Tube End Finishing and Bar End Finishing Processes with Haven Manufacturing

Tube end finishing and bar end finishing are critical processes in tube and bar manufacturing, ensuring parts meet precise specifications for industries like automotive, aerospace, and construction. At Haven Manufacturing, we specialize in fully automated solutions that streamline these processes, delivering high-quality, lathe-cut-like finishes.

What Are Tube End Finishing and Bar End Finishing?

These processes involve machining the ends of tubes or bars to achieve specific shapes, smoothness, or tolerances. Haven’s end finishing machines, such as the Double End Finisher and Tube Chamfering Machine, simultaneously chamfer and face both ends of a tube or bar, ensuring a smooth finish and precise dimensions. This automation is ideal for high-production environments, reducing manual labor and ensuring consistency.

 Key Processes and Features

• Chamfering and End Facing: Machines like the Model 901 (for tube O.D. 0.375″-1.50″) and Model 950 (for tube O.D. 1.00″-5.00″) chamfer and face ends, providing a polished, lathe-cut finish with close tolerances.
• Deburring: The Wire Brush Deburring Model 960 (for tube O.D. 0.25″-3.00″) removes burrs, ensuring clean edges for seamless assembly.
• Automation and Integration: Haven’s systems integrate material handling, cutting, and end finishing, using transfer systems like walking beams or grippers to move parts between stations, minimizing damage and improving efficiency.
• Chip Removal: Post-machining, blowers remove debris, ensuring a chip-free finish, as seen in Haven’s integrated double end finishing machines.

Benefits of Haven’s End Finishing Solutions

Haven’s machines offer fast, economical, and accurate finishing, with cycle rates as low as 1.5 seconds per part. They handle a range of sizes (part lengths from 1.00″ to 8.00″) and materials, meeting diverse industry needs while maintaining high precision and repeatability.

Integrated Production Lines

Haven’s end finishing systems are designed to be part of a complete production line. By combining cutting, chamfering, deburring, and chip removal into one automated flow, manufacturers reduce handling time and improve overall throughput. This integration ensures parts move seamlessly from raw tube to finished product without unnecessary delays.

Precision For Demanding Industries

Industries such as automotive, aerospace, and medical require tight tolerances and consistent finishes. Haven’s end finishing machines deliver lathe cut quality that meets the strictest specifications, ensuring components are ready for assembly in safety important and performance driven applications.

Operator-Friendly Controls

Ease of use is central to Haven’s design philosophy. Touchscreen interfaces, intuitive menus, and programmable settings allow operators to quickly adjust for different tube sizes and materials. This reduces training time and ensures consistent results across shifts and facilities.

Sustainability And Cost Efficiency

By minimizing scrap, reducing cycle times, and extending tool life, Haven’s end finishing solutions lower total cost of ownership. Clean, burr free finishes also reduce the need for secondary operations, saving energy and materials while supporting sustainable manufacturing practices.
