END FORMING MACHINES

We have considerable expertise in building machines and tooling for end forming. We will custom design tools to produce work pieces to your exact specifications.

MODEL JTF-1H TUBE END FORMER

Model JTF-1H is a general purpose, punch and jaw type end forming machine. It is capable of producing many different types of end forms in thin-walled copper, aluminum and steel tubing.

end forming machines

The JTF-1H has a capacity of 1 1/8” O.D. tube. Some end forms can be produced with a single punch, some require the use of two punches and some can be done by simply closing the jaws on the part. The machine has a selector switch for each of these settings. The tooling can be changed from part to part very quickly, two to three minutes to change tools and make the setup.


FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR MODEL JTF-1H END FORMER
  • Manual cycle is used for machine setup, automatic cycle is foot actuated
  • Tooling is designed around customers drawings or sample work pieces
  • Punches and clamp jaws constructed from hardened tool steel, punches are hard chrome plated for wear resistance
  • Capacity 1 1/8” O.D. tube
  • Single, double or jaws only punch cycle-time for single is 1.8 seconds, for double is 2.8 seconds
  • Simple quick-change tooling schematic
  • Machine footprint is 8’ x 8’ with operator, height is 60”
  • Requires compressed air 80-100 PSI, electrical power 3 phase, 60 hertz, 240 or 480 volt
  • Hydraulic system is 20G-6GPM-5HP
  • Standard colors are Carson Green and Safety Blue

The Model JTF-1H produces many types of end forms some of which are shown. We design the tools to produce end forms to the customer’s specifications.

 

 



MODEL STF-2A DEDICATED TUBE END FORMER

The Model STF-2A is a punch and jaw type end forming machine for producing work pieces with a single punch. It is normally tooled for one specific part and rather than being multi purpose, it is dedicated to a particular work piece. This machine works well for high volume end forms such as stop beads, expands and single flare.  Model STF-2A is not shown

FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR MODEL STF-2A END FORMER

  • Designed and tooled around a single high-volume end form
  • Single punch
  • Pneumatically powered and controlled

MODEL BCX-3 TUBE EXPANDER

end forming and punchingThe Model BCX-3 tube expander is used for making expanded ends that will accept another tube of the same beginning outside diameter. Thus two tubes of the same O.D. can be joined together to make a coupling or braze joint. The process used is an expanding segmented mandrel which is very safe and fast.


FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS FOR MODEL BCX-3 TUBE EXPANDER

  • Size range can be as much as 3/8” through 3 1/8” as a standard machine, can be up-sized for larger tubes
  • Pneumatically powered and controlled
  • Completely safe for the operator
  • Quick change tooling
  • Can be furnished as a single unit or can be mounted in multiples with each unit dedicated for a single tube size to eliminate setup time
  • Can be used for parts that are bent prior to expand as well as straight tubes.
