● The hopper's width can be adjusted to accommodate tubes of different lengths, ranging from 70mm to 400mm.
2. Automatic Feeding:
● The linkage structure ensures accurate, single-piece feeding.
● This prevents material pile-ups and ensures a smooth, consistent flow of tubes into the machine.
3. Tube End Forming:
● The rotary forging structure, featuring a robust casting shell, shapes the tube end.
● This process can shrink tube ends from 30mm to 50mm in length.
● The specially designed cutting die ensures precision and a high-quality finish while reducing operational noise.
4. Quality Check:
● The machine can be equipped with dies to verify hole sizes.
● This step ensures that the inner diameter of the formed tube end meets the required specifications (Φ1.9-Φ10.0±0.05mm).
5. Transfer and Ejection:
● A pneumatic gripper system moves processed tubes between stations.
● This dual-station design allows for simultaneous processing, enhancing overall efficiency.
● Finished pieces are automatically ejected and ready for the next stage of production or packaging.
