Tubing processing equipment

PROPER operation and life of hydraulic systems components depend not only on the quality of the components but also on the assembly of the system and the quality of the machining

process through which the pipes were manufactured before assembly. OP’s wide range of products includes a complete line of equipment developed for processing rigid pipes for hydraulic systems, ensuring proper assembly for the user. Accurate pre-assembly of the fitting cutting ring and the 90° or 37° flaring

pipes and stainless steel pipes ranging between 6 and 42mm in diameter, with thickness reaching 4mm. In addition, OP products include practical bending machines that are easy to use and service, and are suitable for bending stainless steel and carbon steel pipes up to a minimum thickness of 4mm and with a maximum diameter of 42mm. After cutting, de-burring to remove metallic burrs, which could find their way into the system damaging pumps, valves and other components vital to the system, is paramount. S series de-burring machines ensure proper removal of burrs, leaving the pipe edge clean and smooth. OP’s Center Junior and Mini Center multifunctional and mobile units include all the tools offered separately, allowing operators to have all they require in a single unit.

of the steel pipe is paramount to the safety of any system using DIN 2353 and SAE J 514 fittings

joints. Erroneous assembly of the cutting ring and inaccurate flaring of the pipe might jeopardise the system and, in extreme cases, cause injury to property and people. To avoid this, OP proposes various Unispeed series equipment models. The portable units are easy to use and handle, and have a wide range of tools capable of machining carbon steel
