Flaring of tubing demonstration using a PHI 2CPV End Finishing Machine.
In this demo, we use a 2CPV (2 inch OD capacity, pneumatic clamping, variable speed spindle) to flare ~1.0 inch OD tube.
Shown are:
- Flare center.
- Installation of the flare center to the machine’s spindle.
- Setting of the spindle index and locking.
- Installation of the clamp / flare dies.
- Setting of the tubing into the dies and forward to the previously adjusted finger stop.
- Pull of the machine’s spindle lever to draw the spindle toward the tubing and activate the pneumatic clamping.
- Further pull of the spindle to contact the flare cone to the tubing for flare forming.
- Return of the lever, opening of the jaws, and result of beautifully flared tube ends. “Looks good!”
Note: Machine is in maintenance mode allowing for it to be operated without the clear plastic shield in the down, safety position.
