FM-60 ER Tube Endforming Machine

• The FM-60 ER tube endforming machine is a basic machine for expanding or reducing tube, using a quick change “drop-in” type segmented tooling to change a tube I.D. or O.D. Expansion utilizes segmented fingers and a tapered mandrel inside the tube while Reduction uses segmented jaws and a barrel on the outside of the tube.
  
  • Capacity:
    
    • Standard up to 75mm (3.00”) O.D.
    • Maximum Wall Thickness is 2mm (0.080”)
  • Dimensions:
    
    • 66cm (26”) W
    • 150cm (59”) L
    • 200cm (79”) H
  • Options:
    
    • Air or Water Cooled Heat Exchanger
    • Customer-specific Paint Color
    • Automatic Grease Lubrication for Tooling
    • Tool Lifting Device
    • Mechanical Adjustment

FM-70 ID/OD Tube Endforming Machine

• The FM-70 ID/OD machine provides improved dimensional accuracy and shape control of both the inside and outside of the tube. ID/OD machines use inside expanding fingers and outside reducing jaws that can be sequenced in any order to produce tighter tolerance parts.
  
  • Capacity:
    
    • Standard up to 70mm (2.75”) O.D.
    • Maximum Wall Thickness is 2mm (0.080”)
    • Up to 90mm (3.50”) with Heavy Duty Style Tooling
  • Dimensions:
    
    • 69cm (27”) W
    • 234cm (92”) L
    • 200cm (79”) H
  • Options:
    
    • Air or Water Cooled Heat Exchanger
    • Customer-specific Paint Color
    • Automatic Grease Lubrication for Tooling
    • Flood Coolant System
    • Automatic Tooling Rotation (approx. 15º)
    • Heavy Duty Style Tooling
    • Tool Lifting Device
    • Adjustment

FM-70 RF & FM-70 RS Tube Endforming Machine

• The FM-70 RF tube endforming machine has a sequenced vise and ram nose to perform expanding, reducing, beading, flaring, and doming operations. This method of ram forming uses a set of vise jaws to securely hold the tube while the ram tool creates the desired form.
  
  • Capacity:
    
    • Standard up to 75mm (3.00”) O.D.
    • Maximum Wall Thickness is 2mm (0.080”)
    • Standard Machine Stroke is 150mm (6”)
  • Dimensions:
    
    • 91cm (36”) W
    • 229cm (90”) L
    • 200cm (79”) H
  • Options:
    
    • Air or Water Cooled Heat Exchanger
    • Customer-specific Paint Color
    • Automatic Grease Lubrication for Tooling
    • Flood Coolant System
    • Optional Strokes are 300mm (12”) and 600mm (24”)
• In addition to performing the same type of operations as the FM-70 RF, the FM-70 RS spins spherical flares, curls, and flanges from the ID of the tube. Rotary flaring is achieved by pushing a spinner tool through the ram head, which generates a smoother and more accurate end form.
  
  • Capacity:
    
    • Standard up to 75mm (3.00”) O.D.
    • Maximum Wall Thickness is 2mm (0.080”)
  • Dimensions:
    
    • 91cm (36”) W
    • 229cm (90”) L
    • 200cm (79”) H
  • Options:
    
    • Air or Water Cooled Heat Exchanger
    • Customer-specific Paint Color
    • Automatic Grease Lubrication for Tooling
    • Flood Coolant System

FM-70 TTPN Tube Endforming Machine

• The FM-70 TTPN machine is designed for parting, end trim, angle-cut, radius-cut, and radius scallop operations for tubing. The tooling includes a Pre-Notch function to help reduce dimple deformation at the point of blade entry. Tube trim machines use straight or contoured clamping jaws to hold the tube during the parting or trimming operations.
  
  • Capacity:
    
    • Standard up to 75mm (3.00”) O.D.
    • Maximum Wall Thickness is 2mm (0.080”)
    • Standard Machine Stroke is 280mm (11”)
  • Dimensions:
    
    • 69cm (27”) W
    • 216cm (85”) L
    • 200cm (79”) H
  • Options:
    
    • Air or Water Cooled Heat Exchanger
    • Customer-specific Paint Color
    • Automatic Grease Lubrication for Tooling
    • Flood Coolant System
