Product Details

The Hydraulic Upsetting Machine is a high-precision industrial forging system engineered to increase the diameter of the ends of pipes, tubes, rods, or bars through powerful axial compression. By applying high-pressure hydraulic force, this machine achieves professional-grade "upsetting," ensuring the workpiece is perfectly prepared for threading or connection. It is an essential asset for heavy-duty manufacturing sectors requiring extreme structural integrity at joint sections.

Specifically designed for the oil & gas, construction, and mechanical engineering industries, this equipment is the gold standard for producing API tool joints and high-pressure pipe ends. By combining servo-controlled precision with robust hydraulic power, the machine ensures that every forged end meets stringent dimensional tolerances and can withstand higher mechanical loads, significantly reducing the risk of joint failure in critical applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the primary function of a hydraulic upsetting machine in metal tool manufacturing?

Its primary function is to increase the diameter of the end of a workpiece through axial compression, creating a thicker section that provides the necessary strength for threading, especially for API tool joints in oil & gas applications.

Q: Can this machine handle different pipe diameters on the same line?

Yes, the machine is equipped with interchangeable die sets, allowing it to process various pipe outer diameters ranging from 50mm to 500mm depending on the configuration.

Q: Is preheating necessary before the upsetting process?

While not always mandatory for all materials, induction or natural gas preheating is highly recommended to improve material plasticity, reduce the required force, and ensure a smoother surface finish.

Q: How does the PLC system improve the production of metal tools?

The PLC system allows operators to preset precise stroke and force parameters, ensuring that every part is identical and reducing human error, which is critical for high-pressure pipe manufacturing.

Q: What materials are typically processed using this equipment?

It is primarily used for carbon steel, alloy steel, and other high-strength metals used in the manufacture of drill pipes, forged shafts, and connecting components.

Q: What is the typical maximum force available for heavy-duty upsetting?

Our high-capacity models can deliver an upsetting force of up to 2000 tons, making them suitable for the largest industrial pipes and heavy-duty mechanical rods.
