transfluid t form UMR forming machine requires minimal user intervention

The t form UMR forming machine from transfluid has been re-engineered for use on both seamless tubes and tubes with longitudinal welding seams. It shapes tubes in either a rolling or rotational process.

The bead rolling machine uses a rolling process for forming the extremity of the tube, with precision reduction over a long distance, and for thread creation. In contrast, the rotational process can carry out multiple flaring at the end of the tube, at an angle to the diameter between 20 and 90 degrees, or contoured, such as bell-shaped.

Rather than setting stops and strokes manually to achieve good geometries on the surface, with the new machines the user performs a simple tool substitution. The equipment includes a selection of flaring geometries to choose from electronically. The position of the stop, as well as all the strokes and operations, is controlled servoelectrically and can be retrieved via a touch panel.
