Expanding
As a pipe expanding machine it enlarges the tube end so one pipe slips over another for a socket joint — common on exhaust and HVAC lines.

All models use a two-station design with forming and clamping both hydraulically controlled. Working speed varies with pipe size, wall thickness and end shape, so confirm the final tooling for your part with our engineers before ordering.
How It Works
How A Tube End Forming Machine Works
End forming reshapes the last few centimeters of a tube so it fits, seals or joins the next part. The tube is clamped, a hydraulic ram drives a shaped die onto the end, and the metal takes the die’s form — expanded, reduced or flared. Multi-station tooling runs several of these steps in sequence.
- 1
Clamp The Tube
The tube is held firmly so only the end is free to be formed against the die.
- 2
Hydraulic Ram Advances
A hydraulic ram pushes the forming punch or die onto the tube end with steady force.
- 3
The End Takes The Die Shape
The end is expanded, reduced, flared or beaded to match the required fitting.
- 4
Multi-Station Sequence
Multi-station tooling repeats with different dies so one end gets several forms in order.
Forming Operations
The Four Ways It Shapes A Tube End
One machine, several end forms. These are the operations Telhoo SG end formers perform, alone or combined on multi-station tooling.
Reducing
As a tube reducing machine it shrinks the end to a smaller diameter or a taper, so tubes step down or fit into a fitting.
Flaring & Beading
Flares the end into a cone or rolls a bead for hose clamps, seals and secure connections.
Multi-Station Combined
Several dies in sequence give one tube end a combined form in a single, repeatable load.
Selection Guide
How To Choose Your End Forming Machine
Match the model to your tube diameter and the number of forms your part needs.
- By Tube Diameter
The number is the max tube OD: SG40-2 to Φ40, SG60-2 to Φ60, SG80-2 to Φ80 and SG120-2 to Φ110 mm.
- By Number Of Forms
One simple end form runs on a single station; several forms per end point to multi-station tooling.
- By Stroke & Force
Larger models add working stroke (up to 200 mm) and force for bigger, longer end forms.
- By The Line
End forming usually follows cutting and bending — see tube bending & fabrication for the full flow.
Materials
Which Pipe Materials It Forms
Forming dies are matched to your tube material so the end shapes cleanly without cracking or marking.
01
You form
Steel & stainless tube
Telhoo fits
Hardened forming dies for exhaust and structural tube ends that hold shape and seal.
02
You form
Aluminum & copper tube
Telhoo fits
Smooth, polished dies expand and flare soft aluminum and copper HVAC tube without tearing.
03

End Forming FAQ
Tube End Forming Questions
Expanding, reducing, flaring, beading and other end shapes, depending on tooling. Multi-station models run several operations in sequence for complex ends such as exhaust joints.
The models differ mainly in maximum pipe diameter and forming force. Send your pipe size, material and the end shape you need and we will recommend the right machine and tooling.
Yes. End forming is often the final step after cutting and bending. Telhoo builds customized and automated cells that link these operations for higher output.
