Double Station Tube End Forming Machine
The Only Machine in Our Lineup That Forms Both Tube Ends Simultaneously — Double Your Output
TM120NC 120mm Tube End Forming Machine
Utilizing higher hydraulic capacity, this machine processes large-diameter pipes, completing two forming processes in a single operation.
– It can process pipes with a maximum outer diameter of 120 mm and a maximum wall thickness of 4 mm, the largest in our end-forming series.
– The dual-station design allows processing both ends of the pipe in a single cycle, doubling the capacity of a single-head machine. A dual linear guide positioning system ensures synchronous parallel forming at both ends.
– Rated hydraulic pressure: 14 MPa; Standard maximum working stroke: 150 mm
Heavy Capacity for Large Tube Ends
The TM120NC-2 large diameter tube end forming machine uses a double-station configuration that can perform two shrinking steps. Microcomputer control manages manual and semi-automatic modes, and the hydraulic system supplies the higher pressure required by the largest model in this four-machine range.

TM120NC Tube End Forming Machine Product Description
If your production volume requires efficiency and your pipe geometry requires end forming on both sides, then the TM120NC can help you solve these problems.
The TM120NC is the only dual-station pipe end forming machine in our Zhuoran product line capable of simultaneously processing both ends of pipes. It features a true dual-head configuration: two independent forming stations are located on two linear guides, driven by a shared hydraulic system equipped with Taiwanese-made proportional valves, and synchronously controlled by a single CNC interface for both forming heads.
While a single-head machine requires two cycles to process both ends of a pipe, the TM120NC completes the process in just one cycle. For the production of 1000 pipes, this translates to 1000 fewer clamping operations and 1000 fewer operator steps, potentially halving your machine uptime. It is the largest in our product line.
Features for Heavy Tube Work
Four-Millimeter Wall Capacity
The listed wall limit doubles the 2 mm capacity specified for the three smaller models in this range.
Two-Stage Shrinking Layout
The double-station configuration lets the approved process divide large diameter reduction into two forming actions.
3000 kg Machine Mass
The heavy frame provides the specified platform for larger tubes, higher installed power, and the hydraulic assembly.
Custom Forming Stroke
Zhuoran can assess stroke changes against your tube length, profile dimensions, tooling travel, and handling method.
Double Station Tube End Forming Machine
Form Tubes up to 120 mm
The TM120NC covers tubes up to Φ120 mm OD with a listed 4 mm wall thickness. This large-diameter tube end forming machine extends capacity beyond the 80 mm limit of the next smaller model.
Your engineering review must still account for material strength and the finished profile. A thick or hard tube may need a different process even when its dimensions fit the published range.
Divide Reduction into Two Stages
Large diameter reduction can require progressive movement rather than one aggressive stroke. The double-station layout on this large diameter tube end forming machine can complete two shrinking steps according to the approved tooling plan.
Zhuoran must calculate the intermediate and final shapes from your drawing. This prevents the operator from treating the first station as a generic preset for every tube and material combination.
Prepare the Site for Delivery
The TM120NC measures 3200 × 1300 × 1900 mm and weighs 3000 kg according to the source file. Your installation plan for this large diameter tube end forming machine needs foundation review, unloading access, service clearance, and safe tube handling.
Share the workshop layout and available lifting equipment before shipment. Zhuoran can then coordinate installation and operator training around the confirmed machine configuration.
Applications
Large Tube Joint Preparation
Manufacturers use formed large-tube ends to prepare fitted, nested, welded, or clamped assemblies. The TM120NC supplies two stations for an approved progressive shrinking sequence and covers tubes up to 120 mm OD.
Your joint design determines the intermediate die and final profile. Send the complete assembly drawing so Zhuoran can check how the formed end interfaces with the mating component.
Motorcycle Exhaust and Frame Tubes
Heavy fabricated tube parts can require greater wall capacity than the three smaller models provide. The TM120NC lists a maximum wall thickness of 4 mm and uses an 11 kW hydraulic system.
Your team should confirm material grade, tube tolerances, and handling method before tooling starts. Zhuoran can review the component through its custom tooling and machine engineering service.
Contract Tube Manufacturing
Large parts often require a forming test because material strength and profile depth change the load on the machine and die.
Zhuoran can prepare a trial from your drawing and representative tube blank before final machine approval. Use the sample service to verify the two-stage process, inspect the formed surface, and agree on measurable acceptance dimensions.

Submit your Φ120 mm-or-smaller tube dimensions, material, finished profile, forming length, and production target. Zhuoran will review the two-stage process, tooling, and site requirements before quoting the TM120NC.
What is the maximum tube capacity of the TM120NC?
The supplied specification lists a maximum capacity of Φ120 mm OD with a 4 mm wall thickness. Material grade, profile depth, and forming length also determine the required load. Zhuoran should review the actual part before confirming a tube at the listed limit. Provide the material specification and a dimensioned drawing rather than sending diameter alone.
Why does this model use two stations?
The source document states that the two stations can perform two shrinking steps. This arrangement supports a progressive reduction sequence when the approved part requires it. The first and second die shapes depend on the starting tube and finished profile. Zhuoran must design the intermediate geometry instead of applying one standard two-step ratio to every part.
Can the machine produce profiles other than shrinking?
The supplied material lists raised, recessed, offset, square, angled, V-shaped, open-elbow, and flat-elbow shapes, with the mold changed to match the workpiece. Zhuoran still needs to review each requested profile against the large tube material and machine capacity. Do not assume that every listed shape works at the full Φ120 × 4 mm limit.
What installation information does Zhuoran need?
Share the available floor area, access-door dimensions, unloading route, foundation details, lifting equipment, power supply, and planned loading direction. The machine itself measures 3200 × 1300 × 1900 mm and weighs 3000 kg. Your workshop needs additional operating and service space around that footprint for tube handling, die changes, and maintenance.
Which files should I submit before requesting a quote?
Send the tube material specification, outside diameter, wall thickness, finished-end drawing, forming length, and required production quantity. Include a representative tube sample when possible. These inputs let Zhuoran assess forming load, plan the two stations, design the dies, and determine whether the standard 150 mm stroke fits the part.
