CNC Tube End Forming Machine (Double Station)

Tube End Forming Machine Photos

Typical Forming Processes

• Tube End Flaring (Expanding): Enlarging the tube end diameter for connection or assembly.
• Tube End Reducing (Necking): Reducing the tube diameter at the end for fitting or sealing.
• Flanging: Forming a flange at the tube end for joining applications.
• Beading / Grooving: Creating reinforcement grooves or positioning beads.
• Bulge Forming: Forming raised or hump structures on tube ends.
• Multi-Process Forming: Combining multiple forming steps in one cycle.

Applications

• HVAC Systems: Used for refrigerant and ventilation pipe processing.
• Automotive Exhaust Systems: Suitable for exhaust pipe end forming and shaping.
• Boilers and Pressure Vessels: Applied in precision pipe end processing.
• Furniture Hardware: Used for metal tube structural components.
• Pipe and Tube Manufacturing: General-purpose tube end forming for industrial production.

Core Design and Advantages

• Dual Independent Stations: Two stations operate independently. While one station is forming, the other can complete loading or unloading, minimizing downtime and increasing throughput.
• Independent Parameter Control: Each station supports separate parameter settings, enabling different tube sizes or forming processes to run simultaneously with high flexibility.
• High Precision Forming: The machine body is made of high-strength cast iron with stress-relief treatment. Combined with a servo-driven system, it achieves accuracy up to ±0.01 mm, ensuring burr-free edges, uniform wall thickness, and stable forming quality.
• Easy Operation: Equipped with a PLC touch control system, the machine allows parameter storage and one-touch recall. The modular tooling design enables quick die changes for different tube specifications.
• Compact and Durable Structure: Key components ensure stable operation and long service life. Compared with two single-station machines, the dual-station design saves space and simplifies production layout.

Optional Configurations

• Automatic Loading System: Supports continuous feeding for batch production.
• Robotic Integration: Enables automated loading and unloading for higher efficiency.
• Multi-Step Forming Program: Allows continuous execution of multiple forming processes.
• Custom Tooling: Supports non-standard and complex tube end shapes.
