Rotary swaging machines for
a range of product sizes
Fenn, a division of SPX Precision
Components, manufactures rotary swaging
machines in a range of sizes. This range
includes the NF series, which is a mainstay
in the medical industry, and the massive
model 8F for reducing high strength steels
and alloys up to 153mm diameter tube.
The powerful model 8F swagers can reduce
thick wall tubing so the outer diameter
can fit into its inner diameter, thus forming
continuous tubing for railing or street light
poles.
Fenn also manufactures
hydroformer (die closing) rotary
swagers, which are used widely in
the aircraft and marine industries.
Hydroformers have the ability
to perform centre reductions on
tubes to form ornamental designs
and architectural shapes.
The company’s stationary die
swagers can form irregular
shapes for the commercial tool
industry and speciality tube
manufacturing. With the ability
to form continuous tapers in tube
up to 610mm in length, Fenn’s
long die swagers are used in the furniture
and sports equipment fields. For example,
they are used by high performance bicycle
manufacturers to swage titanium tube to
form precise taper angles for frames.
Fenn swagers can be found in critical
operations for the aerospace and defence
industries, as well as the jewellery and
musical instrument trade. The swagers
are also used by manufacturers of heater
elements and thermocouples to reduce
stainless tube filled with MGO, and by
refrigeration and appliance manufacturers
to swage copper tubing to form filters with
reduced dome ends.
The company offers feed systems on all of
its swagers, to increase productivity and
eliminate manual handling of parts. Fenn is
also a manufacturer of swager tooling, and
dies for all makes of OEM swagers.
