    Twisting a profile tube

    I have been using the heat, twist, cool method but I would like to automate it making it more consistent and less operator dependent.

    Twisting a profile tube

    I am trying to twist a dog bone shaped cross-section tube with a OD major axis of 2.6mm and an ID of 1.0 mm. After twisting it is shaped like a twizzler. I need uniform twisting and heat to set it at the twisted shape. Has anyone heard of using a revolving mold to do this?
