The
Model 400-M6 System is a compact, stationary hydraulic power pack combined with
an integral electronic package. Together they provide the power and control to
operate the M6 Series modular forming head. The heads are precision machined of
heat treated stainless steel and designed to produce virtually any tube end
form. Single and multi-head arrangements are available.
The
M6 tooling can function either as a ram style of end former or as a finger
(segmented collet) style of end former. This configuration provides you with the
utmost flexibility. The tooling is designed for quick change from one size to
another. With capabilities of forming tube diameters from 3" OD to 6'' OD,
this tooling accurately forms flares, beads , end expansions (bells), end
reductions, etc.
An
operator can function the system with minimal effort. The operator places the
tube into the tooling. When the
tube is positioned, pressing the foot control pedal initiates a cycle. The
tooling grips the tube while reciprocating the forming mandrel or expanding the
segmented collets. Upon completion, the tooling releases the tube, allowing for
another cycle.
