XYOON is a professional manufacturer and supplier of hydraulic tube processing machines, specializing in the R&D and production of tube end forming machines. We offer ready-to-ship standalone units, complete production line solutions, custom tooling, and OEM services. We welcome your inquiries!
XYOON’s tube end forming machines include three main models—manual, semi-automatic, and fully automatic—designed to suit various production scenarios ranging from prototyping and small-to-medium batch processing to large-scale mass production. Each model offers distinct functions to meet diverse budget and capacity requirements.
1. Manual Steel Pipe Deburring Machine
This model serves as a preparatory tool for tube end forming, featuring a lightweight, power-free, and highly flexible design. It requires no complex setup; the handheld grinding mechanism quickly removes burrs, sharp edges, and oxidation layers from both the inner and outer tube ends. It is primarily used for pre-forming finishing to prevent residual metal chips or sharp corners from scratching the forming dies or causing defects like wrinkles. Ideal for small-batch prototyping, on-site pipe repair, and ad-hoc order preparation, it offers low investment costs and high operational flexibility. It is a standard entry-level tool for small workshops—designed not for the forming process itself, but to ensure high-precision results in subsequent forming operations.
2. Semi-Automatic Tube End Forming Machine
The semi-automatic model is a mainstream choice for general factory use, featuring manual loading/unloading combined with automatic hydraulic forming to balance cost-effectiveness and machining precision. Equipped with a constant hydraulic thrust system, it delivers uniform and stable forming force, accurately performing standard operations such as tube end reduction, expansion, and grooving. It ensures high consistency in tube end shaping without wrinkles or collapse. With easy die changes and simple setup, it accommodates mixed production of various tube specifications, making it the most cost-effective mass-production model—perfect for small-to-medium factories handling diverse orders and specifications.
3. Automatic Tube End Forming Machine
The fully automatic model features an intelligent PLC control system and an integrated structure for automatic feeding, positioning, forming, and unloading. It operates in a continuous 24-hour cycle without the need for manual intervention. It supports multi-station composite forming, completing complex tube-end shaping in a single cycle with precision and speed far exceeding semi-automatic models. Equipped with an error self-check system, it effectively eliminates batch dimensional deviations. It is suitable for standardized mass production lines in large-scale pipe fitting factories and OEM facilities, meeting demands for high-volume, high-precision, and highly consistent high-pressure pipe fitting production; it significantly reduces labor costs and boosts overall line efficiency.
1. Standardized execution of tube sealing and forming processes.
The equipment uses a mold to apply uniform pressure to the tube end, precisely machining a 37° sealing cone surface with consistent curvature and angles. Unlike manual flaring—which is prone to angular deviations and wall wrinkling—this machine produces parts that fully meet assembly requirements for metal-to-metal hard-seal flanges.
2. Integrated shaping for various tube-end types.
Beyond flaring, interchangeable molds allow for tube expansion, reduction, and the pressing of anti-slip grooves. This meets production needs for variable-diameter piping, stop-limit tubes, and specialized fittings without requiring multiple separate machines.
3. Preservation of the tube's original pressure-bearing performance.
The cold extrusion process generates no high heat, preserving the metal's hardness and preventing tube-end thinning or cracking. The formed fitting retains its high-pressure capacity without degradation, ensuring no leakage risk during long-term use.
1. Before forming, tubes must undergo cutting and deburring; residual burrs can scratch the mold and cause surface irregularities on the sealing cone.
2. After changing mold specifications, perform a test run on 1–2 tubes to verify the flare angle and diameter before proceeding to mass production.
3. Clear metal debris from mold gaps at the end of each shift; accumulated hard particles can scratch the forming surface and compromise sealing precision.
4. Apply grease to drive guide rails every 200 hours of operation. During prolonged shutdowns, disassemble and clean the mold, apply anti-rust oil, and store it in a dry area.
