Copper Tube Swaging Machine
Fully Automatic Swaging Machines Are Designed For Tubes or Pipes Depending On The Size & Design Of Swagged Tubes. The Machines Are Very Robust In Design & Have Capacity Ranging From All Size Tube.
Swaging tools are used to expand the end of a copper tube to accept the next section of tubing. This is done prior to making a permanent braze or solder connection. Swaging is a method used on ACR (Air Conditioning, Refrigeration) copper tubing for refrigerant as well as soft copper tubing used for plumbing. Swaging is done to reduce the amount of brazed or soldered joints in a tubing run. In the case of a coupling, two braze joints are needed, whereas, with a swage, only one braze joint is needed. Both swaging and deburring tools are examined in this article.
