It is used to shrink, swag, taper and otherwise form pipe and tube ends — reducing diameters, creating tapered ends and crimped profiles for metals such as brass, copper, aluminum and stainless steel.
The machine is designed to work with common ductile metals including brass, copper, aluminum and stainless steel. For exotic alloys or heat-treated materials, consult the supplier for suitability.
Max shrinking capacity (diameter): 60 mm; max tube contracting length: 600 mm; max shrinking thickness: 3 mm; crimping outer diameter: 0–120 mm; typical tube contracting cycle: 6–9 seconds.
The specification lists 0 kW; this usually indicates the machine is supplied without a built-in power rating (requires customer-specified drive or is mechanically driven). Confirm electrical/power requirements and motor configuration with the supplier before purchase.
The machine supports both automation and manual operation. Core components use high-performance motors for automated setups, while manual controls are available for smaller runs or adjustments.
Typical tube contracting cycle time is between 6 and 9 seconds, depending on material, wall thickness and the specific forming operation.
Video outgoing inspection is included for quality assurance, and the machine is supplied with a comprehensive machinery test report documenting performance checks.
The machine requires forming/swaging dies and tooling sized to your tube dimensions. Standard dies may be available, but custom dies for special profiles are usually ordered separately. Confirm included tooling with the supplier.
Yes — the machine is designed to perform both taper forming and shrinking (swaging) operations to produce tapered ends and reduced-diameter portions.
Routine maintenance includes cleaning, lubrication of moving parts, inspection and replacement of wear parts (dies, bearings and seals) as needed. Follow the supplier's maintenance manual for recommended intervals and procedures.
Typical safety features include guards/interlocks around moving parts, emergency stop controls and clear operational instructions. Verify specific safety provisions and optional safety packages with the supplier.
The unit weight is approximately 600 kg. Shipping and installation requirements depend on site access and local regulations; coordinate with the supplier for crating, transport and on-site installation support.
Supply ability is listed at 300 sets per month. Actual lead time will depend on current orders, optional configurations and shipping — confirm availability and delivery schedule with the sales contact.
Standard specifications limit shrinking thickness to 3 mm and shrinking diameter to 60 mm (with crimping OD up to 120 mm). For larger or thicker tubes, discuss custom configurations or alternative models with the manufacturer.
The manufacturer typically provides machinery test reports and quality inspection; installation, commissioning and operator training options vary by supplier. Request details on installation services, training and after-sales support when ordering.
