Pipe End Forming Machine Hydraulic Tube End Expanding and Shrinking Machine

The machine is used for hydraulic end forming of metal pipes — expanding (flaring) and shrinking (swaging/contracting) pipe ends to create fittings, joints and custom end shapes for industries such as solar, automotive, construction and general metal fabrication.

Maximum shrinking (contracting) diameter is 168 mm and maximum shrinking wall thickness is 5 mm. Maximum tube contracting length is 600 mm. For specific expanding limits consult the manufacturer as capacities can vary with tooling and material.

It is suitable for carbon steel and many other metals commonly used in pipe manufacturing. Material formability and thickness affect achievable forming results; verify compatibility for exotic alloys with the supplier.

Typical tube contracting cycle time is 30–45 seconds per operation. Actual cycle time depends on part geometry, material, tooling and operator settings.

The machine is equipped with a touch screen control for setting and monitoring forming parameters and automating the operation.

Rated power is 25 kW and the machine weight is approximately 5000 kg. Electrical supply details (voltage, phases, etc.) should be confirmed with the manufacturer or local representative.

Yes, the product is CE certified. It is designed to meet applicable safety standards; detailed safety features and guarding vary by model and should be reviewed with the supplier.

The machine offers automatic operation with programmable parameters via the touch screen for repeatable, high-accuracy forming. Some manual setup or adjustment may be required for tooling changes and part loading depending on configuration.

Specialized forming dies/jaws are required for different end geometries and pipe sizes. Standard tooling for common sizes may be included or offered as optional accessories. For custom shapes, the supplier can provide or manufacture the appropriate tooling.

Due to its weight (≈5000 kg) the machine requires a stable foundation and appropriate lifting equipment for installation. It also requires a suitable electrical supply to support the 25 kW drive. Exact floor loading, space and utility requirements should be confirmed with the supplier prior to delivery.

Routine maintenance includes periodic inspection of hydraulic components, fluid and filter changes per the manufacturer's schedule, lubrication of moving parts, and routine inspection of tooling and safety devices. Follow the supplied maintenance manual for recommended intervals.

Yes. Spare parts, wear components and technical support are typically available from the manufacturer or authorized distributors. Contact your sales representative for lead times and available service packages.

Yes. Many manufacturers offer customization options such as different tooling sets, program configurations, higher-capacity models or secondary fixtures to suit specific part geometries and production needs. Discuss requirements with the supplier to determine feasibility.

Most suppliers offer commissioning, on-site setup and operator training as part of the purchase or as an add-on service. Confirm available training packages and associated costs with your sales contact.

Warranty terms vary by manufacturer and sales agreement. Contact the vendor for specific warranty coverage, duration, and exclusions. Extended service and maintenance contracts may also be available.
