Swage tool

A swage mechanism operable to expand an inner diameter of tubing including a housing defining a longitudinal axis, and a plurality of jaws coupled to the housing and movable radially outward relative to the longitudinal axis for selectively gripping an interior of the tubing. The jaws each include a first cam surface. The swage mechanism further includes a ram having a cylindrical portion and a frusto-conical head portion, and an arbor that is coupled to the housing and having a second cam surface. The frusto-conical head portion of the ram is insertable into the tubing to expand the inner diameter of the tubing. The second cam surface of the arbor is engageable with the first cam surface of each of the jaws to move the jaws toward or away from the longitudinal axis, wherein the second cam surface moves in a direction along the longitudinal axis.

ELECTRIC PIPE EXPANDER

An electric pipe expander and intelligent control circuit for the electric pipe expander are provided. The electric pipe expander includes a pipe expander body and a mandrel sliding cavity disposed on the pipe expander body. A chuck body capable of clamping a pipe to be processed is disposed at an opening end of the mandrel sliding cavity. A mandrel is slidingly connected in the mandrel sliding cavity, an outer side end of the mandrel is provided with an obliquely disposed pipe expanding cone, an inner side end of the mandrel is provided with an elastic body accommodating cavity. Flat keys are disposed on the mandrel, and an elastic body is clamped and disposed between the flat keys and a bottom surface of the elastic body accommodating cavity.

MACHINE AND METHOD FOR THE WORKING OF TUBES

A metal bend pipe having a bend portion bent in a semi-circular arc shape is provided, in which an identification part that enables one of the two end portions of the bend portion to be identified as the bending-start side or the bending-end side is provided, and the identification part is integrally formed as a protruding and/or recessed three-dimensional region. Thus, it is possible to easily and reliably identify which of the two end portions of the bend portion is the bending-start side or the bending-end side.

Full-electric servo vertical three-counter-roller driving power spinning device

A full-electric servo vertical three-counter driving power spinning device includes a rack, and the rack includes a baseplate. A workpiece active rotating mechanism and an inner roller feeding mechanism are provided on the baseplate, an outer roller feeding mechanism is provided on the rack; the outer roller feeding mechanism is provided with an outer roller active rotating mechanism; the outer roller active rotating mechanism includes an outer roller active rotating motor and an outer roller, and the inner roller feeding mechanism includes an inner roller. A stress state of a cylinder material by adopting a combined method of an active rotation of a roller and an active rotation of a workpiece turntable is significantly different from that by a passive spinning of a counter-roller, thus improving a thinning rate of a wall thickness of a cylindrical member and a hardening properties of materials.

Pipe enlarging device

A pipe enlarging device includes a base, an operation unit and a clamping unit. The clamping unit is received in the base, and includes movable front and rear clamps and a front threaded rod. The front and rear clamps are resiliently movable when the front threaded rod is rotated so as to form an adjustable clamping area between the front and rear clamps. The clamping area is used to clamp pipes of different sizes. The operation unit includes a top threaded rod with a cone-shaped member which is used to enlarge the inner diameter of the pipes.

Mechanical processing of high aspect ratio metallic tubing and related technology

Tubes for use in ultrahigh pressure devices, and associated systems and methods of manufacture are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a metal tube includes an elongate bore having a circular transverse cross-sectional shape. The metal tube also includes an elongate wall extending around the bore and having an annular transverse cross-sectional shape with an inner surface closest to the bore, an outer surface furthest from the bore, and a wall thickness extending from the inner surface to the outer surface. An inner portion of the wall is under swage-autofrettage-induced overall compressive stress.
