Tube end forming machines for sizes up to
82mm from Soco Machinery in Taiwan
THE Soco TF tube end former series
is used in numerous end forming
applications and industries, such as
automotive exhausts, furniture and air
conditioning. The machines differ to
conventional end formers, due to their
low setup, high flexibility, precision and
compact design.
The machines go up to 82mm in size,
and incorporate hydraulic operation and
touchscreen control. They can be fitted
with one or two operating stations to
process operations on tube ends and
are suitable for both straight and bent
tubular parts.
The C type machines are designed
for common end forming applications
including tube expansion, reduction
and slotting. The C machines use
segmented tooling consisting of
expanding segments and reducing
jaws, with quick setup (drop down
tools). With similar capabilities to the C
type, the E type adds a ram and vice
forming feature that allows it to form
more complex shapes, such as various
types of beading and flaring processes,
among other kinds of end forming.
The I/O type is used for precision
sizing of tubes, and uses a combination
of expanding segments and reducing
jaws for accurate control of the inside
and outside diameters.
These can be sequenced in any order
for improved accuracy and reduced
ovality. The I/O also incorporates a
touchscreen control for quick setup.
Unlike tooling systems used in the
C and E type, the I/O type tooling
comprises a set of inside expanding
fingers and outside reducing jaws.
The IOE type combines the flexibility
and features of both the IO and E types
for maximum production possibilities.
