Project overview

This project involved the design and development of a custom push rod head for an industrial Nissin CNC free-form tube bending system. The component was developed to interface with the machine's existing pushing assembly and provide the geometry required for a specific tube-processing application. Drawing on practical experience operating CNC tube bending equipment, RTD developed the component's geometry, created a detailed 3D CAD model, and produced dimensional technical documentation to support manufacturing. The component was successfully manufactured, installed, and used in actual tube-bending operations. This is a completed industrial tooling project, not a conceptual design.

Design challenge

Industrial machinery often requires specialized tooling to accommodate particular production requirements.

This project required a custom mechanical interface capable of integrating with an existing Nissin pushing assembly while providing the geometry needed for the intended tube application.

The challenge was translating machine-specific requirements into a manufacturable mechanical component with accurate geometry and clear technical documentation.

RTD solution

RTD developed a purpose-built push rod head using a precision CAD workflow. The component was modeled in three dimensions, with attention to its mating geometry, cylindrical features, and machine interface.

Detailed manufacturing drawings were created to communicate the geometry and dimensions required for fabrication. The resulting design was manufactured and successfully used on the intended Nissin machine.

Project outcome

Designed. Manufactured. Put to Work.

The completed push rod head demonstrates RTD's ability to develop custom industrial tooling beyond architectural and decorative metalwork.

By combining firsthand machine operation experience with CAD modeling and manufacturing documentation, RTD delivered a functional component for a real production application.
