Model M343 Flanging Machine

The model M343 is used to cold-form pipe ends to a 90 degree flange. This method of fabricating lap joint provides significant labor savings when compared with a hot flange forming process, or when compared to welding a pre-fabricated flange to the pipe ends.

The flange is manufactured using a rotary spinner head and a flanging mandrel that rolls the pipe end while the pipe is held stationary in a flanging die.

CAPACITY:
Model M343 can process pipes from 1/2" to 4" IPS for schedules 5, 10, and 40. It can also process schedule 80 pipes from 1/2" to 2" IPS

POWER DRIVE:
The power unit is a 5-HP, 220/440 volt, 3 phase, 60-cycle, gearhead motor with integral electric brake. A multiple v-belt drive is used to power the spindle from the gear motor.

MACHINE JAWS:
The pipes are held stationary by clamping in a flanging die closed by air cylinder and toggle mechanism.

FORMING MECHANISM:
The spinner head, supporting the flanging yoke and mandrel, is mounted on the spindle and can be moved laterally on a slide in order to position the flanging mandrel for different pipe size.

The angular position of the flanging mandrel is changed as the flange is rolled. This angular change is achieved using an air cylinder connected through a drive chain to the flanging yoke.

The cylinder time used in forming is governed by the traverse speed of the air cylinder. This speed may be varied by adjustment of the flow valve.

These adjustments allow the production of good, flat flanges for a variety of pipe sizes and materials. Other adjustments allow compensation for variations in wall thickness.

TOOLING:
To manufacture the flanges, the following tooling is required:

A. Flanging Die
B. Die Adapter
C. Expanding plug & Installation Tool
D. Flanging Mandrel
