Product development
Tube endforming · Industrial tube handling
A purpose-built industrial tube-handling safety tool designed to improve part control, support tube endforming operations, and reduce costly production interruptions.
Current 1/2-inch functional prototype shown. Exact approved CAD image.
Operational value
SafeReach is designed to provide better control of the tube during insertion and handling, helping reduce the production interruptions that follow when a part is dropped into machinery.
Clear visual confirmation
Colour-coded visual indicators help the operator confirm the tool state at a glance.
Green indicator
Handle advanced. ExpandGrip™ tip engaged for controlled tube handling.
Red indicator
Handle retracted. ExpandGrip™ tip released for tube insertion or removal.
Current design direction
Internal tube engagement designed for controlled handling without publicly exposing the confidential operating mechanism.
The handle is designed to rotate independently if tube rotation is transferred back toward the tool.
Simple visual references distinguish the engaged and released operating states.
Each dedicated model uses a replaceable tip intended only for its specified tube size.
The extended handle provides added clearance around the rear tether provision.
A rear tether attachment point supports controlled tool retention at the workstation.
