Flaring machines and tooling

By deforming the tube end by rolling rather than by just pushing a tool into the tube end the Parflange® machines achieve a high strength joint with a polished surface of the tube end resulting in a very rigid high-pressure tube connection.

Industries:
• Automotive
• Defence
• Energy
• Environment
• Industrial
• Infrastructure
• Machine Tools
• Materials Handling
• Mobile
• Oil and Gas
• Power Generation
• Transportation

Features/ Benefits:
• Superior sealing performance – The Parflange® process achieves a sealing surface of unique surface quality and mechanical strength.
• Superior vibration resistance – Unlike conventional flaring, the Parflange® process results in a rigid connection of the O-Lok® sleeve on the tubeend. Parflange®/O-Lok® connections perform much better under reversed bending stress conditions.
• Easy to use – No programming or adjustments necessary. High quality results are consistently achieved without manual adjustments.
• Cost saving – Compared to brazing or welding, orbital flanging is much less time consuming. Special tube preparation and finishing are not necessary. Flanging uses only a fraction of the energy needed for brazing or welding.
• Clean – The Parflange® process is environmental clean and safe. As no heat or chemicals are used, hazards from fumes or heat do not occur.
• Zinc plated tubing. The Parflange® process allows the use of zinc-plated tubing. The cost for cleaning, post process plating or painting is saved.
• Process/Product concept – Parflange® machines are especially designed to match Parker O-Lok® and Triple-Lok® standards. Machine, tools and products are fine-tuned for reliable performance.

Applications:
Parflange® 1025:
• Ideal for projects and workshop use and maintenance High quality result and no mass production or on-site repair jobs where 3phase power supply is not available
• Maximum tube capacity 25 × 4 mm/1˝ (steel tube) and 25 × 2.5 mm/1˝ Parker tube 1.4571 (tube made from other material has to be checked).
• Quick and easy change of tooling and the simple operation without manual adjustments or programming.
• Transportable so that it can be moved to any assembly site with electrical power supply.
