Coburg Engineering Limited, UK, is a
machine-tool company and distributor,
providing solutions for tube working and
automated machinery manufacture.
The company’s product range includes the
Arc-Fit Standard unit and Arc-Fit Angular
unit for producing specified angular joints in
two hits on pipe and heavy wall tubing. This
tubing is used for bracing systems and rails
for stairs and in the shipbuilding industry.
The Arc-Fit 35 Unit has a standard housing
that accommodates interchangeable punch
and die assemblies to notch equal 90° as
well as unequal sizes, and for slots, notches
with drain holes and piercing tools for Perf-
Arc self-contained piercing units.
The Mitre-Snug is available for fitting mitre
joints, while the Arc-Snug is designed for
the rapid notching of round, square, oval or
rectangular tubing to form 25° to 90° angular
joints. These units produce ‘true contoured’
joints, and can be enclosed in power
frames driven by air-oil, creating low-cost
alternatives for manufacture and assembly.
Coburg Engineering also supply double
notching pipe and tubing tools using the
Arc-Twin 101 DS Die. Power operated
Vogel hydraulic Arc-Twin units are available
for automated production of 90° ‘T-joints’.
The company also offers cut-off machines
and heavy duty application shears to cut
rod, angle iron, flat stock, channel and other
structural shapes, in three capacity ranges.
