If you're in the market for New Tube End Forming Machinery, CML USA Inc. is a trusted partner for high-speed, production-grade solutions. We supply Stern Brown electro-hydraulic tube end formers from PEDRAZZOLI, equipped with Intelligent Motion Software (IMS) for precise control of every forming station. Our focus on tube fabrication machinery means you get informed guidance on machine sizing, tooling layout and integration with your existing bending and cutting processes—advantages that are difficult to match with general-purpose equipment dealers.
Tube End Forming Machinery are critical wherever tube ends must be shaped for sealing, joining or flow control. High-speed CNC systems like the Stern Brown 50, 80 and 160 machines can expand, reduce, flare, bead and form complex multi-step profiles on the ends of round tube in a single automated cycle. Typical applications include automotive and truck exhausts, HVAC and refrigeration manifolds, hydraulic and pneumatic lines, furniture and fitness equipment, and a wide variety of industrial machinery. By consolidating multiple operations into one clamping, these machines improve accuracy and reduce handling compared with manual or single-step methods.
New Tube End Forming Machinery represents a substantial investment, especially at the high-speed CNC level. Pricing depends on maximum tube diameter and wall thickness, number of forming stations, available stroke, clamping and loading options, and the specific model selected. While the initial cost of a Stern Brown CNC end former may be higher than that of a simpler hydraulic machine, the gains in throughput, repeatability and reduced scrap often lead to a rapid return on investment. Our team at CML USA Inc. can help you evaluate payback by looking at your part mix, current forming methods and projected production volumes.
Tube end forming began with basic ram-style presses and simple dies used to flare or reduce tube ends. As manufacturing demands increased, multi-station hydraulic end formers emerged to handle more complex shapes. The latest generation of high-speed CNC machines—like the Stern Brown series from PEDRAZZOLI offered by CML USA Inc.—combine electro-hydraulic actuation with advanced software, allowing programmable sequences, stored part recipes and precise control of each forming step. These developments give today’s manufacturers a level of consistency, flexibility and speed that early systems could not match.
What is the difference between a high-speed CNC tube end former and a standard hydraulic machine?
A standard hydraulic machine typically performs one or a few forming steps with
limited automation. A high-speed CNC tube end former coordinates multiple
forming stations using servo- or electro-hydraulic control and stored programs,
allowing complex multi-step forms to be produced quickly and repeatably in a
single cycle.
What operations can high-speed tube end forming machinery perform?
Depending on tooling and model, high-speed end formers can reduce, expand,
flare, bead, cone, close and otherwise reshape tube ends, often combining
several of these operations at once. This makes them ideal for manifolds,
branch connections, slip joints and formed ends that must seal or locate
accurately.
Which industries benefit most from CNC tube end forming?
Industries such as automotive and truck, HVAC and refrigeration, agriculture,
construction equipment, furniture and fitness, and general industrial
machinery all benefit from CNC tube end forming—anywhere repeatable tube ends
are required for welding, brazing, mechanical joints or sealing.
How do I choose the right Tube End Forming Machinery for my shop?
Key considerations include maximum tube diameter and wall thickness, material
type, the number and type of end forms required, desired cycle time and how
many different parts you need to run. CML USA Inc. can review your drawings or
sample parts and recommend a PEDRAZZOLI Stern Brown model and tooling
layout that meet your current needs and allow for future growth.
