T-DRILL · End forming
EFO-3eServo-driven tube end forming.
EFO-3e performs up to three forming strokes in a programmed cycle. Electric servo drives and tools selected from the drawing produce the required tube end profile.
Selection, implementation and support in Poland — TARGA.
From workpiece to process
Applications for EFO-3e
A workstation for repeat processing of HVACR, automotive and other tubular components. Its slim working area also helps assess bent parts; tool access is confirmed from the drawing or a sample.
How does the process work?
Drawing
Check the end profile, material and clamping area.
Tooling
Select successive forming stages.
Programme
Servo cycle and a trial to confirm the finished dimension.

What do we need for selection?
Prepare drawings before and after processing, material, wall thickness, tolerances and required batch size.
Before you choose
Does 65 kN define the maximum tube diameter?
No. Ram force is a machine parameter. The workable diameter also depends on material, wall thickness and shape.
Can EFO-3e be integrated with a robot?
The manufacturer provides for such integration. Gripping, feeding and cell safeguarding are designed for the workpiece.

Cutting and end-forming line
TCC-45 EF3
TCC-45 EF3 combines chipless cutting and end forming in one system. Up to three tool strokes can prepare a profile without moving the part to a separate end former.
Cutting and end-forming line
TCC-45 EF8
TCC-45 EF8 combines tube cutting with a cycle of up to eight forming strokes. It allows a more complex end profile to be planned within one line.
Spinning machine
SPM-115
SPM-115 closes the ends of copper and brass tubes with a flat profile. An electric servo drive follows the programmed cycle while a rotating tool forms the stationary tube.
