Tube end forming equipment MANCHESTER Tool & Die supplies tube end forming, grooving and crimping machines and tooling to a variety of industries, with machines ranging from 3 / 16 " to 3" OD capacities. Standard and custom-built machines and parts can be manufactured to meet customer applications. The company’s manufacturing facility is available for customers’ production machining needs such as CNC and manual turning, CNC and manual boring, CNC milling, grinding and wire EDM. Steel fabricating services are also available. Manchester Tool & Die recently introduced a servo positioning flag stop system, designed to aid set-up personnel in quickly adjusting tube out through the machine’s HMI (human machine interface). The system provides consistent adjustments resulting in quicker set-up times. The servo positioning system is available for newer M71 and M82 machines that are equipped with HMIs.
