Vernon Parallel Pin Tube Expansion System

A single switch starts the cycle and resets for the next cycle. A pause switch allows the operator to stop the cycle and any point and release to continue the cycle. The pneumatic balance arm makes it easy to position the powerhead precisely, ensuring optimal production and quality.

The Vernon Tube Expanding System uses a PLC to control all operations. A force transducer transmits pressure for roll torque, and signals cycle completion to retract the mandrel. Consistent RPM throughout the expanding cycle increases production, and the hydraulic system eliminates the need to reverse the expander mandrel. Parallel Pin expanders minimize axial flow of tube material, resulting in a better expanded joint. The Parallel Pin expander is specified by some companies to be used when tube to tube sheet welds are required. This can help reduce the stress on the weld.

The Vernon Tube Expanding System is an electrically 5 hp driven hydraulic unit that includes electric motor, two hydraulic pumps, hydraulic controls, and electrical controls in a powder coated cabinet on casters.
