new FAA/PMA and overhauled replacement parts, for all models of exhaust, cabin heat shrouds, engine mounts, tur- bo mounts and attaching hardware components and clamps. “A major part of our production at both companies is based on bent tubes of various sizes and materials,” said CEO Tom Heid. “Powerful, effi cient, fl exible, and easily confi gured bending tube is a top priority with us. Our most recent acquisition, a 980LE linear fully electric CNC bender from Crippa USA LLC [Geneva, IL] meets all of those require- ments and adds some unexpected extras as well.”


AMI provides original equipment to the aircraft industry includ- ing tubular engine components, mounts, and aircraft exhaust systems, fl oat fi ttings, and landing gear and various other welded and machined components and assemblies.

“We have found that the Crippa bender allows us to eliminate many secondary operations and produce completed parts in one pass that used to require multiple processing steps,” Heid said. “In one recent case, we replaced a fi ve- piece part with a single tube bent in one pass on the Crippa. That means we can produce a lot more parts in the same amount of time, and with considerably less labor. That makes us a lot more competitive and profi table at the same time, a real win-win for us and for our customers,” said Heid. “Our customers require parts like fuel line components, air lines, mounts, and the like in production volumes and built to their rigid specifi cations,” said Heid. “By replacing our existing single-stack tube bender with the multistack capable Crippa 980LE, we can take full advantage of the machine’s fast setup and exceptionally low scrap rate to deliver production quantities of parts with minimal lead time.” The Crippa 980LE CNC tube bender, which is designed to deliver high levels of accuracy and productivity, can perform multiple, fully automatic bending cycles using a
