It is used for end forming (shrinking/contracting) of small round tubes and pipes to create reduced ends, collars or custom end shapes for plumbing, HVAC, automotive, furniture, electrical components and other small-scale manufacturing applications.
It can process a variety of materials including stainless steel, brass, copper, aluminum, alloy metals and certain plastics.
Max shrinking diameter: 50 mm; max contracting length: 290 mm; max material thickness: 5 mm; power: 3 kW; weight: 200 kg; tube contracting cycle: 2–3 seconds; automation: automatic.
Maximum pipe (outer) diameter: 50 mm; maximum wall/thickness capacity: 5 mm; maximum tube contracting length: 290 mm.
The machine typically completes a tube contracting cycle in about 2–3 seconds, enabling high productivity for small to medium production runs.
Yes — it features automatic operation. An operator is usually required to load/unload parts and monitor the process; controls are designed for straightforward use. Full training and commissioning can be provided on request.
The machine’s rated power is 3 kW. Exact voltage and phase requirements depend on the model/configuration—please confirm required voltage/phase with the supplier or sales engineer before purchase.
The machine is compact and suitable for workshops with limited space. It weighs approximately 200 kg — a stable, level floor is recommended. No heavy foundation is normally required, but secure mounting and access to appropriate power supply and ventilation are necessary. Ask supplier for footprint/dimension drawings if needed.
Yes. Shrinking/forming typically uses interchangeable tooling or dies sized to the target pipe diameter and material. Standard tooling covers common sizes; custom tooling is available for special profiles or tighter tolerances.
The machine delivers high precision and consistent results, but final tolerances depend on material type, wall thickness, tooling choice and process parameters. Sample testing and a machinery test report are available to verify achievable tolerances for your specific parts.
Typical maintenance includes daily cleaning and visual checks, periodic lubrication of moving parts, inspection and replacement of wear items (dies, seals) as needed, and scheduled preventive service (manufacturer recommendations). Exact intervals depend on usage intensity.
Standard safety measures include emergency stop, guards or light curtains around moving parts and safe lockout procedures. Operators should receive training, use appropriate PPE and follow the supplied safety manual. Ask supplier for machine-specific safety options and certifications.
Minimum order quantity is 1 set. Comprehensive machinery test reports are provided as part of the product offering.
Yes — the compact automatic design is suitable for small-scale production and can be adapted with custom tooling or process settings for special shapes and applications. Discuss your requirements with the supplier for customization options.
After-sales support typically includes commissioning, operator training, spare parts supply and technical support. Warranty terms and spare parts availability vary by supplier — contact the sales team for details on warranty duration, spare-part kits and service agreements.
