At Zeman Manufacturing Company, we're committed to continuous improvement—investing in the tools and talent that help us deliver better parts, smarter solutions, and stronger partnerships. That mission led us to our latest equipment upgrade: the installation of the Crippa 1042E, a next-generation CNC tube bending machine from Crippa’s Up&Down series.
The Crippa 1042E is purpose-built for precision, repeatability, and flexibility in demanding bending applications. With multi-stack tooling, left- and right-hand bending in-process, and push-bending capabilities, this machine can create complex 3D geometries in a single setup—minimizing cycle times while maximizing consistency.
It’s ideal for high-performance applications across industries like medical, aerospace, transportation, and foodservice, where tight tolerances and complex designs are non-negotiable.
I'm thrilled to bring the Crippa 1042E into our lineup. Its advanced bending capabilities, especially when integrated with our laser cutting, end forming, and inspection systems, will allow us to tackle more complex geometries and deliver even greater precision for our customers’ most demanding applications.
— Dan Zeman, President
The 1042E pairs perfectly with our existing CNC infrastructure, creating a fully integrated fabrication workflow. It supports:
Combined with Zeman’s expert operators and engineering-first mindset, this technology empowers us to solve more complex design challenges, reduce lead times, and ensure repeatable results across prototype and production runs.
As a fourth-generation, family-owned business, Zeman continues to build for the future — investing in the tools that help our team and our customers thrive. The Crippa 1042E expands what’s possible in tube bending, helping us deliver even more value through precision, speed, and innovation.
