Introduction
The Automatic Tube End Expanding & Shrinking Machine is a highly efficient and versatile equipment designed to streamline the process of expanding and shrinking tube ends. It incorporates an automatic feeding device that allows cut pipe codes to be placed in the hopper, enabling the machine to complete the feeding process automatically. The feeding device utilizes a linkage structure to ensure precise and consistent feeding, processing one pipe at a time and eliminating material piling.
 
The machine's hopper width is adjustable, accommodating pipes of various lengths. The shrink head features a rotary forging structure with a casting shell, ensuring optimal forging strength and extended tool life. A specially designed cutting die guarantees the precision and finish of the required products while minimizing the noise generated during the forging process.
 
This machine is particularly well-suited for copper-aluminum resistance welding joints and can be equipped with a mandrel to confirm the hole size of the pipe fitting. The flat head machine employs a high-speed rotary flat scraping method using an alloy tool head to remove excess material from the nozzle, ensuring a smooth finish.
 
The transfer between each station is facilitated by a pneumatic mechanical gripper that moves up, down, left, and right, with the linkage of the two stations optimizing work efficiency.
