Custom Manufacturing of Tubes for the Packaging Industry

Custom Manufacturing of Tubes for the Packaging Industry


At Zeman Manufacturing Company, we specialize in providing innovative solutions to the manufacturing needs of customers across a broad range of industries. In this project, a customer in the packaging industry needed us to manufacture custom fill and inflator tubes for one of their packaging products. Our prior experience making inflator tubes as well as our ability to make and design the necessary fixturing and custom tooling in-house allowed us to complete this project faster and more efficiently than competing manufacturing firms.

Using customer supplied 3D data, we were able to design and manufacture the weld fixture, machining fixture and bend tooling in our machine shop within two weeks. Starting with 10mm OD x 1mm wall ...
Custom Manufacturing of Surgical Devices for the Medical Industry

Custom Manufacturing of Surgical Devices for the Medical Industry


At Zeman Manufacturing Company, we are known for our custom metal tube fabricating and precision cutting skills. We recently received an order for suction tubes for metal surgical devices. Due the outstanding breadth of our tube fabricating capabilities, we were able to fabricate and deliver these complex parts to the customer with a quick turnaround time.

Recognizing that any device to be used in a medical application has to be absolutely burr-free, we used our automatic electrochemical cutting machine to accurately and repeatedly cut burr-free 304 stainless steel to tight tolerances. On our production CNC machine center, we reamed the ID on of the tube to ±.001” and then spot faced the tubing in order to provide a smooth ...
Custom Tube for the Thermocouple Industry

Custom Tube for the Thermocouple Industry


Thermocouples are temperature measuring devices used in a wide range of applications. One of our customers in the food industry asked us to manufacture custom thermocouple probes for them, a project on which we were able to once again display our metal tube fabricating and cutting expertise. At Zeman Manufacturing, we specialize in large rush jobs such as this, and were the only supplier the customer could find that could provide parts delivery in only 3 weeks.

These custom tubes were made from 3/8” diameter 304 stainless steel. Unlike other laser tube cutting, this small OD application was right in our wheel house. Our high precision fiber laser tube cutting machine cut the tube to length and machined the holes and miter cuts. ...
Custom Tube for the Natural Gas Industry

Custom Tube for the Natural Gas Industry


At Zeman Manufacturing, we’ve been servicing the needs of the natural gas, energy, and heating industries since 1936. In the project highlighted here, we assisted a natural gas industry customer by manufacturing a large quantity of custom tubes. These tubes were designed for use as natural gas pipe stiffeners and combined a number of manufacturing processes.

Manufacturing began with 0.900” diameter, 0.049” thick cold rolled steel which was annealed, drawn, and quenched. Our proprietary tooling for cutoff lathes allowed us to size and machine the barb into the tube sections in the same operation. The barb was a retaining feature meant for the plastic pipe that fit over it and was stiffened by the tube. The tubes then moved ...
Air & Water Lines for High Speed Rail Cars

Air & Water Lines for High Speed Rail Cars


Hundreds of thousands of people travel daily on high speed light rail cars for business and pleasure. At Zeman Manufacturing, our reputation is based on providing the highest quality fabricated tube products available. This is why this customer put their trust in us for these critical components. Our diverse skills and ability to act quickly on complex jobs allowed us to deliver where the customer’s previous manufacturer had failed.

We started by reverse engineering the customer’s existing parts individually, which were numerous, a difficult task made necessary due to the lack of existing design drawings. This was accomplished using a Romer inspection arm; this high precision measuring device was used to measure the existing ...
