These machines go up to 82mm in size, and incorporate hydraulic operation and touch screen control. They may be fitted with 1 or 2 operating stations to process operations and tube ends and are suitable for both straight and bent tubular parts.
E Types
With similar capabilities as the others type, the E type adds a Ram and Vise Forming feature, which allows it to form even more complex shapes such as various types of beading and flaring processes.
IO Types
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 touch screen control for quick setup.
The I/O type is used for the highest accuracy and control of the inside or outside diameters (I.D./O.D.) of the tube. Unlike tooling systems used in E type, the I/O type tooling is comprised of a set of inside expanding fingers and outside3 reducing jaws. These can be sequenced in any order to give improved sizing accuracy and minimal ovality.
The IOE Types
This type combines the flexibility and features of both the IO and E types for maximum production possibilities.
