MANUFACTURERS IN THE UNITED STATES, WITH A LABOR RATE MUCH HIGHER THAN IN PACIFIC RIM COUNTRIES, MUST CONSTANTLY LOOK AT NEW WAYS TO REDUCE LABOR COST, YET PRODUCE QUALITY PRODUCTS OF CONSISTANT FIT, FORM, AND FUNCTION. IN THE TUBING BUSINESS, MACHINES THAT ROTARY CUT AND PULL, DO IN-LINE FORMING, COMBINED OPERATIONS, AND BRANCHING ARE REDUCING THE MANUFACTURING TIME AND LABOR CONTENT WHILE MAINTAINING EQUAL OR BETTER QUALITY WHEN COMPARED TO OLDER METHODS.
