A square tubing swager is an electromechanically operated swaging machine for square steel tubing powered by an electric motor whose mechanical output is connected to a clutch assembly which operates an angle worm drive. The output of the angle drives dual two strand sprockets. These sprockets are connected through a series of roller chains and additional sprockets which drive four cam cross shafts. These cam shafts are set in four corresponding slide blocks assemblies within a jaw mount. The invention would be provided with various sized jaws for various sizes of square steel tubing. During use, the steel stock is inserted within the jaw area and the motor energized. The jaws then form the steel stock inward allowing the deformed area to be inserted within the hollow cavity of undeformed steel stock of the same size.

A spinning device includes a flange forming section that, in a state where a base material having a tubular shape and including at least a large-diameter portion and a small-diameter portion is relatively rotated, forms a flange portion protruding in a direction away from a center axis by pressing the large-diameter portion in a center axis direction of the base material while contacting an outer peripheral portion of the small-diameter portion.

A shaping tool for connecting to a shaping device for deforming a portion of a workpiece. The shaping tool includes a clamping device having multiple clamping segments and a compressing head having a depression on one end for forming a portion of the workpiece. The compression head and the clamping device being integrally connected to each other, circumferentially, as a wholly exchangeable single tool unit and being axially movable relative to each other. The compression head additionally, on an opposing side from the depression, an attachment feature for connecting the single tool unit to a shaping piston of a shaping device.

The invention concerns a method for production of a steel tubular product (1), in particular an airbag tubular product, with the following steps: a) provision of a steel tube (2), b) shaping of the steel tube (2) into a pre-geometry (3), wherein in an end region (4), an outer diameter (5) of the steel tube (2) is reduced by axial movement into an outer tool, c) calibration of an inner diameter (7) of the pre-geometry (3), wherein the pre-geometry (3) is still laid in the outer tool, and an inner mandrel, with an outer diameter corresponding to the inner diameter (7) of the calibrated pre-geometry (3), is introduced into the end region (4) of the pre-geometry (3), and the pre-geometry (3) is pressed against the outer tool such that the inner diameter (7) of the pre-geometry (3) is calibrated by shaping, d) removal of the pre-geometry (3) from the outer tool (5) and removal of the inner mandrel from the pre-geometry (3), e) axial movement of the pre-geometry (3) into a drawing tool with a roll-in contour having a pot-like concavity, with simultaneous shaping of the pre-geometry (3) into the tubular product (1) with a rotationally symmetrical outlet opening (8) positioned centrally in the end face, f) removal of the tubular product (1) from the drawing tool.

A crimping system for crimping fittings on hoses is disclosed and include an interface and a crimper machine. The crimper machine is configured to analyze collected information based on identified hose and fitting properties; perform a crimping operation based on the collected information and the identified hose and fitting properties; measure crimping characteristics for the crimping operation; generate an alert based on the measured crimping characteristics and the collected information; and provide the alert to the interface.
