Our System 1 and 63-500 Series postsdemonstrate <strong>TMC</strong>’s innovative designphilosophy. When a tubular steel shapedpost is required to house an air isolator,most competitive designs start withcut-to-length steel square tube. <strong>TMC</strong>starts with a flat steel sheet or plate thenlasers, punches, bends, and welds toform the part.This approach has four major advantages:1. Flat steel is much less expensive thantube steel.2. Flat steel can be laser-cut or sheared tolength. Tube steel must be saw-cut,which is expensive and imprecise.3. Tube steel has very poor dimensionaltolerance and is only nominally square.Formed parts are precise.4. Any required holes can be punched orlaser-cut in the flat prior to bending.This is much less expensive thandrilling tube.Imprecise tube steel<strong>TMC</strong> precision-formedsteel post9www.techmfg.com • 978-532-6330 • 800-542-9725 (Toll Free) • Fax: 978-531-8682 • sales@techmfg.com89
