Parker's New Parflange 1050 Produces Both Flares and Flanges
HOUSTON, APRIL 30, 2007- Parker Hannifin's Tube Fittings Division has introduced the Parflange 1050 high-production workstation capable of producing both 37 flares and flat-face flanges for tube assemblies.
Featuring an automatic cycle start triggered by tube insertion, automatic drive and short cycle times, the 1050 fabricates a fully functioning flare or flange in less than 20 seconds, with little or no setup time.
Parker's patented Parflange technology provides a reliable and leak-free flare or flange tube connection, and eliminates the need for braze or weld joints, where a potential leak could occur. Depending on tube material and wall thickness, the 1050 can accommodate a maximum tube capacity up to 1-1/2 inch OD (38 mm), which covers the majority of tube flaring and flanging applications.
When flanging, a patented orbital cold forming process mechanically attaches the tube to the sleeve. The 1050 progressively flares then flanges the tube end, reducing the possibility of damaging or cracking the tube end when creating a flange. The finished flange is strengthened by the support of the sleeve, and has a smooth, clean surface for sealing purposes. When flaring, the tube flare is also created using an orbital forming process, resulting in a smooth, clean 37 degree flare.
Parflange 1050 Features:
o Flares and flanges tube sizes -4 through -24 (1/4 to 1-1/2 inch), or 6 mm through 38 mm metric tubing, depending on tube material and wall thickness.
o Workstation holds up to 10 pin and die sets.
o Flaring and flanging pin and die sets can be quickly changed with minimal manual adjustments.
o Flat top surface conveniently holds nuts and sleeves used during flaring and flanging.
o Automatic tool lubricator.
o Automatic die clamping mechanism with operator safety shield.
o Designed for easy mobility by wheels, forklift or crane.
o A sleeve loader Parflange unit also is available for continuous production of flared/flanged tube ends.
