Leading Tube End Forming Machine Manufacturers

Tube end-forming machines can create multiple end forms for different uses. Manufacturers reshape tube ends to connect the tubes to different media. Tube ends can undergo reduction, expansion, beading, flaring, and thickening. These options have specific requirements to be useful for different purposes.

Tube End-Forming Options

• Expanded ends: Expansion widens the tube end's exterior diameter. Expansion is used to make one tube end fit inside another. For example, healthcare equipment and heat pump assemblies both contain expansion endings.
• Reduced ends: A tube end is reduced when pressed beneath a solid die. Manufacturers also use segmented fingers to shrink tube diameters. Reduction also helps tubes fit within each other.
• Flanged ends: Tubes with flanged ends are often molded to other materials in an assembly process, like glass-to-metal sealing.
• Flared ends: A flared tube end can create a good leak-proof connection. Flared tubes are used to transport liquids in plumbing or other applications.

Ram End Forming Machines

Ram end forming machines are common. The tube is placed into a set of clamp dies shaped to accommodate the specific tube. The dies hold the tube in place while a collection of tools will work on the metal to form the tube's end.

Segmented Tube End Forming Machine

Segmented tube end forming allows for complex tube shaping. Tubes can be resized, reduced, beaded, rounded, and more. Segmented tube end shaping varies widely. There are three kinds of Segmented tube end-forming equipment used throughout the industry.

• Inner and Outer diameter sizers
• Inside/Outside sizers
• Indexing segmented machines

Rotary End Tube Forming Machine

Rotary tube end forming can happen from inside or outside a tube. The tube is held by clamp jaws and then slides over the tool. The tool spins inside the tube during the formation process. This technique works well for grooving or inverted beads.
