Tube End Forming & Tapering
Manual Rotary Pipe Swaging & Tapering Machine
A rotary swaging machine for cold-forming and tapering tube or pipe ends using a four-die rotary hammering mechanism, forming the tube progressively to the required final profile.
The Manual Rotary Pipe Swaging Machine, also referred to as a pipe tapering machine or pipe cone machine, is a tube cold-forming solution for reducing and tapering pipe ends.
The forming process uses four rotating dies with a hammering action. As the tube is fed into the machine, the dies progressively swage the material and reduce the tube end toward the required tapered profile.
Rotary swaging can provide an alternative to conventional forging and machining for suitable tube-end forming applications. The required final form is determined by the tooling and machine setup.
What It Does
- Pipe and tube end reducing
- Tube-end tapering
- Cone-form end shaping
- Cold forming by rotary swaging
Forming Principle
- Four-die rotary hammering mechanism
- The tube is fed into the forming area
- Rotating dies repeatedly hammer and swage the tube
- The tube end is progressively reduced to the required profile
Why Rotary Swaging
- Cold-forming process for suitable tube-end applications
- Can reduce reliance on conventional machining or forging for suitable parts
- Final geometry is determined by tooling and machine setup
How to Request the Correct Machine
- Tube or pipe material
- Original outside diameter and wall thickness
- Required final diameter and tapered length
- Required end profile or drawing
- Workpiece length
- Production requirement
- Photos or samples of the required finished part, if available
Questions we are asked
What is a rotary pipe swaging machine?
It is a cold-forming machine that uses rotating dies with a hammering action to progressively reduce or taper a tube or pipe end.
Is it also called a pipe tapering or pipe cone machine?
Yes. These names are commonly used to describe this type of tube-end reducing and tapering equipment.
How does the four-die mechanism work?
The tube is fed into the machine while four rotating dies repeatedly hammer and swage the material, progressively forming the end toward the required profile.
What information is needed to select the machine and tooling?
Provide the tube material, original diameter, wall thickness, required final diameter, taper length, end profile and production requirement.
