Our Tube End Forming Machines
The TM40NC gives you a compact solution for multi-step forming on tubes up to 40 mm OD. Its three-station layout lets you divide a complex end profile into controlled stages, reducing the need to move the part between separate machines. The hydraulic system supplies forming force while the microcomputer controller manages the operating sequence. You can use manual mode during tooling setup, then switch to semi-automatic operation for production. This small diameter tube end forming machine accepts custom dies for raised, recessed, offset, square, angled, V-shaped, open-elbow, and flat-elbow end profiles.

TM80NC 80mm Tube End Forming Machine
Move to the TM80NC-3 for tube diameters up to 80 mm and a 150 mm forming stroke.
TM60NC Multi-Station Tube End Forming Machine
Choose this model when your part reaches 60 mm OD or needs a longer 125 mm standard working stroke.
TM120NC Large Diameter Tube End Forming Machine
Use the double-station TM120NC-2 for tubes up to 120 mm OD and wall thicknesses up to 4 mm.
Four Features for Flexible Tube-End Work
Custom Die Profiles
Match the tooling shape to raised, recessed, offset, angled, V-shaped, or other specified tube ends.
Linear Guide Support
The guide carries station movement along a defined path and limits wear during repeated production cycles.
Setup Control by Foot
The foot switch gives the operator start and emergency-stop control while both hands remain available for setup.
Serviceable Component Layout
The machine uses separate hydraulic, electrical, pump, bearing, power-supply, and tooling assemblies for routine maintenance access.
Designed for Faster Setup and Reliable Repeatability
Control Setup Before Production
Tool trials need slower, operator-controlled movements before a repeat cycle begins. This small diameter tube end forming machine lets you select manual operation during die setup and semi-automatic operation for production. The controller and foot switch keep the operating sequence within easy reach. You can confirm tube position, observe the first formed part, and approve the setup before processing the rest of the batch.
Form Complex Ends in Three Steps
A multi-stage profile may need more than one forming action. The TM40NC-3 small diameter tube end forming machine gives you three stations in one layout, so your tooling plan can separate difficult deformation into controlled steps. Your team can use one station for the first shape, another for the next operation, and the third for final sizing when the approved die design requires that sequence.
Match the Stroke to Your Part
The standard 100 mm working stroke covers many short tube-end profiles. If your component needs a longer forming length, Zhuoran can review a customized stroke after checking your drawing. This small diameter tube end forming machine should be specified around the tube OD, wall thickness, material, finished profile, and forming length. Send those five inputs before tooling design starts to reduce revision work.
Applications
HVAC Tube Connections
Small HVAC tubes often need formed ends before joining, fitting, or assembly. The TM40NC-3 handles tubes up to 40 mm OD and supports dies shaped around your connection profile. You can use its three stations for a stepped sequence when one forming action would place too much deformation on the tube. Review related HVAC tube-processing applications before sending your drawing.
Furniture Tube Components
Furniture frames, legs, and supports use small tube sections with end profiles that affect fit and assembly. The TM40NC-3 gives your workshop three forming stations while keeping the machine footprint at 2250 × 800 mm. Custom dies adapt the machine to the approved end geometry. See Zhuoran’s furniture tube-processing applications for the wider production context.
Short-Run Custom Parts
Job shops handle changing tube shapes and smaller batch sizes. Manual mode supports die setup, and semi-automatic mode supports the production run after you approve the first part. The TM40NC-3 suits parts within the Φ40 × 2 mm capacity. Use Zhuoran’s sample service to test your tube material and end profile before machine configuration.

Send your material, Φ40 mm-or-smaller tube dimensions, end-profile drawing, and production target. Zhuoran will review the station sequence, tooling, and required working stroke before preparing the machine proposal.
What tube size can the TM40NC-3 process?
The supplied specification lists a maximum capacity of Φ40 mm OD with a 2 mm wall thickness. Your material and finished shape also affect the forming load, so the diameter alone cannot confirm machine suitability. Send the tube material, OD, wall thickness, drawing, and required forming length for an engineering review before ordering.
Why does the TM40NC-3 use three stations?
Three stations let the tooling plan divide a complex tube end into separate forming steps. This can help when the part needs progressive shaping rather than one large movement. The final station sequence depends on your tube material and end geometry. Zhuoran should review your drawing or sample before confirming the die layout for each station.
Can I use the machine for different end shapes?
Yes. The supplied material states that the machine can form raised, recessed, offset, square, angled, V-shaped, open-elbow, flat-elbow, and other profiles by changing the mold shape. Each new part requires matching tooling. Share a dimensioned drawing or physical sample so the engineering team can assess the forming steps and die set.
Does the machine support manual operation?
The TM40NC-3 supports manual and semi-automatic modes. Manual mode helps your operator set up and test the tooling. Semi-automatic mode runs the approved sequence during production. The foot switch provides start and emergency-stop functions. Your operator still needs training and a verified work procedure for the final machine configuration.
Can Zhuoran change the 100 mm working stroke?
The product file states that the maximum working stroke can be customized according to customer requirements. A longer stroke changes the machine configuration, so Zhuoran must review the required forming length and part geometry before confirming it. Use the design and engineering service to submit the relevant dimensions.
