From blank to finished component
- The Machine
Tube forming machine
Your tube forming reimagined
Even in tube forming, we rely on the all-in-one principle.
The entire process from feeding the blank to turning, stamping, or reducing of the tube ends takes place in a fully automatic machine.
In contrast to hot-formed or machined tubes, cold-formed tubes offer significantly higher strength, dimensional accuracy, and surface quality.
- Advantages
The multi-talent in tube forming machines
High flexibility
The cycle rate of the forming machine can be adjusted continuously, making it ideal for varying production volumes.
Modular design
The number of processing stations is individually configurable. Optional empty stations can be reserved for future expansions.
- Core competence
Rethinking your tube forming
The demands of industry bring a wide range of challenges, which is why customized solutions for forming machines are our specialty.
“We achieve versatility through a modular design, allowing our customers to combine exactly the modules needed for processing their products. Naturally, our experienced engineers and designers are available to provide expert support throughout the process.“

An overview of our solutions
Tube forming of hollow profiles
Hollow profiles are increasingly in demand, especially in the automotive industry, as they can transmit high torques while remaining lightweight. For example, in seat back axles or drive shafts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sets AMBA tube forming machines apart?
Our tube forming machines produce complete tube ends with multiple processing steps fully automatically in a single system. From the blank to the ready-to-install component, all steps take place in an all-in-one machine without reclamping or additional handling.
Which tube sizes and materials can be processed?
AMBA forming machines handle tube diameters from 3 to 50 mm, wall thicknesses up to 4 mm, and lengths up to 2,000 mm. They are suitable for steel, stainless steel, and non-ferrous metals, achieving up to 60 parts per minute depending on the model. For example, the RH 08 Synchro.
Can AMBA realize custom geometries and processes?
Yes, thanks to a modular design with configurable processing stations and tools tailored to the product geometry, customer-specific requirements can be met. Multiple forming stages can be combined, and additional modules (e.g., marking, process monitoring) can be integrated.
Why use cold forming in an All-in-One machine?
Cold forming solutions provide higher strength, better dimensional accuracy, and less material removal than cutting processes. In an all-in-one forming machine, it reduces cycle times, lowers costs, and delivers ready-to-install tube ends with high repeatability.
