Orbital flaring at 90° and 37° in one machine

Unispeed USFL 90/37 is a new machine for 37° and 90° orbital flaring of hydraulic rigid pipe ends with ISO 8434-2 and ISO 8434-3 fitting systems.

The machine is practical and easy to use, and requires only one tool change to carry out the flaring operations. This enables processing time to be reduced to a minimum, as it is carried out easily without the need for additional equipment. The machine uses a cold orbital forming

be obtained. The semi-automatic processing cycle allows the flaring process to be very fast, reducing costs and avoiding welding or soldering the clamping ring to the pipe end. The final cycle lay-up ensures optimal flaring and finishing results. Op Srl – Italia Fax : +39 030 3580838

process to create a flat and smooth sealing surface at 90° and 37° with a suitable rugosity for the O-ring seal. This avoids the formation of processing signs which can occasionally occur with common axial deformation processes. The system is compliant with the pipe flaring requirements regulated by SAE and ISO standards. The various possibilities of adjustment and configuration of USFL 90/37 allow any flaring diameter and thickness to
