.01
Endforming
Mechanically formed flanges or flares save cost while providing a consistent and good quality connection. Dakota Tube engineers develop all our tooling and then qualify the process with dimensional and fatigue testing.
.02
Brazing
Brazing is an effective way to connect fittings in-line or to the end of the part. Certified inspectors visually inspect each braze for key characteristics that indicate good adhesion and the absence of leaks.
.03
Welding
Brackets or fittings may be welded to the part robotically or by hand.
.04
Secondary Operations
Additional machining, cut-off or milling is completed on parts to support other processes or create different features.
.05
Bending
State-of-the-art robots and vision measuring systems combine to bend parts to our customers’ specifications. Robotics lower the cost to manufacture while improving safety and quality. Vision systems measure 100% of the part to ensure it is completely within a sheath tolerance.
.06
Part identification
All parts can be tagged with lot traceability, part numbers, manufacturing date, or any other information that is required.
.07
Surface Treatment
Dakota Tube has both powder coat paint and zinc trivalent plating in-house. Our surface treatment processes are specifically designed for application to hydraulic tubes and the results exceed our customers’ requirements. In addition, Dakota Tube offers Galfan, a coating applied at the tube mill.
