Tube end forming machines for sizes up to 82mm from Soco Machinery in Taiwan

These can be sequenced in any order for improved accuracy and reduced ovality. The I/O also incorporates a touchscreen control for quick setup. Unlike tooling systems used in the C and E type, the I/O type tooling comprises a set of inside expanding fingers and outside reducing jaws. The IOE type combines the flexibility and features of both the IO and E types for maximum production possibilities. Soco is solely represented in the UK and Ireland by Langbow Ltd.

type, the E type adds a ram and vice forming feature that allows it to form more complex shapes, such as various types of beading and flaring processes, among other kinds of end forming. The I/O type is used for precision sizing of tubes, and uses a combination of expanding segments and reducing jaws for accurate control of the inside and outside diameters.

THE Soco TF tube end former series is used in numerous end forming applications and industries, such as automotive exhausts, furniture and air conditioning. The machines differ to conventional end formers, due to their low setup, high flexibility, precision and compact design. The machines go up to 82mm in size, and incorporate hydraulic operation and touchscreen control. They can be fitted with one or two operating stations to process operations on tube ends and are suitable for both straight and bent tubular parts. The C type machines are designed for common end forming applications including tube expansion, reduction and slotting. The C machines use segmented tooling consisting of expanding segments and reducing jaws, with quick setup (drop down tools). With similar capabilities to the C
