Pipe Tube Swagging Shrinking Machine Round square Pipe Tube End Forming

The machine is used for end forming of round and square pipe/tube, specifically shrinking (contracting) and expanding pipe ends for assembly, welding, and fitting operations in metalworking, pipe manufacturing, automotive, construction, and custom fabrication.

It is suitable for various metals including alloy and aluminum. For other materials (stainless steel, mild steel, etc.) check thickness and diameter compatibility and consult the supplier for confirmation.

Key specs: maximum shrinking diameter 51 mm, maximum tube contracting length 60 mm, maximum wall thickness 3 mm, power 3 kW, tube contracting cycle 5–10 seconds, weight 200 kg, automatic operation with motor-driven core components.

It can process pipes up to 51 mm in diameter and wall thicknesses up to 3 mm. For tubes outside these limits, contact the manufacturer about custom tooling or alternate models.

The tube contracting cycle typically ranges from 5 to 10 seconds, depending on material, wall thickness, and tooling setup.

Yes — the machine is described as automatic to improve efficiency, though some setups may require manual loading/unloading or adjustments depending on production workflow.

The machine's rated power is 3 kW. Specific voltage, phase, and frequency requirements vary by region and model option — confirm electrical supply details with the supplier. A stable floor and appropriate anchoring or mounting are recommended for the 200 kg machine.

Always wear appropriate PPE (gloves, eye protection, hearing protection). Keep guards and covers in place, use the emergency stop if needed, secure the workpiece properly, and ensure operators are trained on safe procedures. Refer to the machine's user manual for built-in safety features and detailed instructions.

Regular maintenance typically includes cleaning the machine and tooling, lubricating moving parts as specified by the manual, checking fasteners, inspecting and replacing worn dies/tooling, and monitoring motor performance. Follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule for best results.

Common accessories include forming dies, mandrels, clamps, backup supports, and lubrication supplies. Specific die sets for different pipe shapes/sizes are often required and may be sold separately or custom-made.

The machine is designed for high accuracy in pipe forming. Actual tolerances depend on tooling, material, and setup. For critical tolerance requirements, request performance data or testing from the supplier.

Custom tooling and machine configuration options are commonly available. Contact the manufacturer or supplier with your specific diameter, wall thickness, and forming requirements to discuss customization.

For inconsistent shrinking: check tooling alignment, workpiece clamping, and material suitability. For motor/noise issues: verify electrical supply and inspect bearings and couplings. For cycle problems: check control settings and sensors. If issues persist, contact service support.

The machine weighs approximately 200 kg. Moving it typically requires a forklift or lifting equipment and should be installed on a level, sturdy floor. Anchoring may be recommended — follow the supplier's installation instructions.

Many suppliers provide installation support, operator training, warranty coverage, and spare parts (dies, motor components, control parts). Confirm the specifics — warranty period, training options, and spare parts availability — with your vendor before purchase.
