Types of End-forming Machine

Mechanical tube end forming machine:

This type of forming machine is driven by an inertia wheel driven by an electric motor, and a clutch is used to control the starting and stopping of the crankshaft. The pipe clamping device and the punching die device are operated by the crank-slider mechanism, and different dies can be changed for piercing, flaring, pre-assembled ferrules and other forming operations.

Automatic forming machines:

These forming machines have a high degree of automation and are capable of automatically completing the end processing tasks of pipe fittings. They usually use advanced control systems such as PLC or microcontroller to achieve efficient and accurate processing.

Hydraulically powered stationary molding machines:

These molding machines use a hydraulic system to provide power and are suitable for scenarios that require high pressure and complex molding operations. They are typically used for molding large components such as concrete blocks.

Q: What is forming machine used for?

A: In contrast, forming machines draw out the necessary length of coil material and automatically process it into the desired part at high speeds. Forming machines can also use materials without any waste and can continue manufacturing with no changeovers.

Q: What is the end-forming process?

A: End-forming is a process that is used to change the geometry of a tube, typically at or near the end of the material. The process dates back many decades: once done with castings, manufacturers have now transitioned to custom, machine-forming for cost efficiency.

Q: How does the material affect the process?

A: There may not be many material options for your final application, but understanding how your material selection will affect the tube end forming process is important. Creating an end form on stainless steel often requires a different process, or machine, than if you were forming copper. Understanding the impact of the material choice, including diameters and wall thickness of the part, is critical for the success of your project.

Q: Will the end trim condition disrupt future forming processes?

A: It seems that an item our customers most regularly forget about is the end condition of the tube presented to our tube end forming process. Major issues are created when the end trim on the tube is not square to the centerline of the tube. Using hard stops to locate the end of the tube can create discrepancies in the amount of tube length presented to the tooling. In spin forming and ram forming, it can create “lop-sided” end forms that are long on one side and short on the other. In all processes, burrs are the enemy, so if you’re saw cutting the tube, be prepared for additional tooling costs due to the burrs wearing out tooling faster and requiring more polishing. Understanding the condition of the end trim presented to a tube end forming process is critical for the overall success of the project.
