CONDUCTOR GUIDE FORMING MACHINE

摘要

A conductor guide forming machine that flares the end of a pipe outwardly to form a conductor guide. A heating device movably mounted on a base causes induction heating of the end of the pipe to be flared outwardly. A tool carriage having a forming tool rotatably mounted thereon is moved by a hydraulic cylinder mounted on the base and attached to the tool carriage to insert angled rollers on the forming tool into and against the end of the pipe to be flared. A drive motor mounted on the tool carriage rotates the forming tool simultaneously with movement of the rollers into the pipe to flare the end.
