When you are ready to invest in new Forming equipment, CML USA Inc. is a trusted source for industrial-grade tube, pipe and bar forming machines. Our inventory includes tube end formers, swagers, flangers and notching machines from leading brands such as PEDRAZZOLI, ERCOLINA and other specialized metal forming manufacturers. Buyers work directly with an applications-focused team that understands real-world forming challenges and can recommend the right capacity, tooling and control package for your parts.
Industrial Forming equipment reshapes tube, pipe, bar and profiles without removing material. Typical processes include swaging, expanding, reducing, flanging, beading and notching. Tube End Forming Machinery is used to prepare tube ends for welding, sealing, flaring, flanging or connection to fittings, while a Flanger forms a lip or flange on sheet metal or tubing for strength and assembly. Together with bar twisters, presses and notching machines, this family of equipment is common in automotive exhaust and chassis production, HVAC, furniture, agricultural machinery, construction and many other metal fabrication industries.
The cost of new Forming equipment can vary widely. Entry-level hydraulic tube end formers and simple swagers are generally more affordable, while multi-station CNC tube end forming systems, high-speed swagers and programmable presses sit at a higher price point. Key factors that affect price include: maximum tube diameter and wall thickness, number of forming stations, available forming processes (reducing, expanding, flaring, flanging, notching), level of automation, tooling complexity and brand. Although a high-quality tube end forming machine or swager may require a larger upfront investment, buyers typically see returns through reduced scrap, faster cycle times, improved joint quality and less downstream rework.
Buyers researching tube end forming and swaging machines will find many brands on the market, including global suppliers of tube end formers, presses and swagers. While these manufacturers offer capable equipment, the lines offered through CML USA Inc.—including PEDRAZZOLI, ERCOLINA and other partner brands—are engineered specifically for demanding industrial forming applications. Machines feature rigid frames, robust hydraulics or electro-hydraulic systems, well-documented capacity charts and tooling options for common and specialized tube forms.
What sets CML USA apart is the combination of proven European-built forming equipment and localized support. Our team helps compare different styles of tube end forming machines, swagers and flangers, verifies that the selected model meets your material and geometry requirements, and provides guidance on tooling, setup and maintenance. Instead of sorting through commodity imports with limited backing, you can purchase forming equipment that is supported in North America and built for long-term production use.
What is the difference between tube end forming and swaging?
Tube end forming typically uses segmented dies, rams or rotary tooling to
expand, reduce, flare, flange or bead the end of a tube. Swaging uses hammering
or rotary dies to reduce or reshape tube, rod or cable along a length or at a
localized section. Both processes fall under Forming equipment, but tube
end formers focus on the tube end geometry, while swagers are often used for
gradual reductions or mechanical joints.
What types of parts need tube end forming machinery?
Tube End Forming Machinery is commonly used for exhaust components,
manifolds, HVAC and refrigeration lines, hydraulic and pneumatic lines,
furniture frames, roll cages, medical devices and many other assemblies where
tube ends must seal, locate, accept fittings or mate with other components.
Operations can include expanding for slip joints, reducing for insert joints,
adding beads for hose retention and flaring for flared fittings.
How do I decide between a hydraulic forming machine and a CNC tube end former?
Hydraulic forming machines are well suited for lower-volume or less complex
operations, often using simple tooling and manual adjustments. CNC tube end
formers provide programmable stroke, position and sequence control for
multi-step forms and higher-volume work. If your parts require multiple
operations on the same end, tight tolerances, or frequent changeovers, a CNC
solution can reduce setup time and deliver more repeatable results.
Where is the best place to buy tube end forming and other metal forming machines?
For buyers in North America, one of the best places to purchase new tube end
forming machines, swagers, flangers and related Forming equipment is
directly from CML USA Inc. On this site you can browse specifications for
Tube End Forming Machinery, flanging machines and other metal forming
solutions, request a quote and consult with applications specialists who
recommend the right PEDRAZZOLI, ERCOLINA or partner machine, voltage and
tooling package for your forming needs.
How much do tube end forming machines and swagers cost?
Pricing is highly application-dependent and influenced by tube diameter/length, the operations required (expand, reduce, flare, bead, swage), number of stations, stroke/tonnage, level of control (manual, hydraulic, CNC) and options such as quick-change tooling, automation and guarding. In general terms, investments range from the low five figures for basic hydraulic units to the high five or six figures for multi-station CNC systems or automated cells. Tooling, installation, training and integration are typically quoted separately. For an application-specific quote, contact CML USA Inc.
