The build process continues for our new FTM-2 machines.
With many of the parts now finished and filling up our storage bins, our fabricators have been busy welding the frame, building the coil stand and prepping it all for its first coat of paint.

This new version of the FTM, which stands for "Feeding Tube Machine" will have a faster and simpler tool change along with the cutter head being more rigid and improved. It still features tube capacity of 3/16's to 1/2 inch tube.

This multi-process machine incorporates tube straightening, cutting, forming, and bending processes all into one machine, from raw tube tube to finished part, saving space, time and labor.

Work is in full swing here at the shop with quite a few different project builds underway.

We currently have four FTM-2 machines in the process of being built, alongside three HPA-1A tube bending machines. We can't wait to show you some of these completed projects in the next couple of months.

We would love to help you on any future projects and if you need a specific machine built or designed for tube forming, please let us know and we would love to get you on the path to profit.

Since 1978, Carson Engineering & MFG has specialized in the design, engineer and build of tube forming equipment that is made right here in the U.S.A.

Check out some of our highlight shots of some of our machines in action including one of our newer machines, the FTM-1, which will decoil raw tube ranging from 5 mm to 1/2 inch, with passive or assisted unspooling from a servo-controlled hitch feed. It also contains a tube cutter and jaw press to cut and reduce with over 4 tons of force. A mounted robotic arm, for facilitated part movement, which allows for a compact and completely automated process. 0-to-90-degree tube bend angle, with a servo adjusted bend locator, and a user-friendly touchscreen interface.

From the Aerospace, Auto, or HVAC Industry, we have the ability to design and build custom made machines to fit your specific needs and specifications.

Are you looking for a machine to close tube ends of thin-walled copper, aluminum or steel tube quickly, effectively and safely?

If so, we have the right machine for the job. Our TRC-1 machine is a non-heated close process and allows for the processing of tubes that are already pre-bent or punched and produces a flat end close of superior strength with minimal tube loss.

Our AHP-2S is a 2-axis, computer controlled automatic hole punch machine and is an excellent choice for punching holes in tubing. We performed a quick test on a thick copper tube, running single & multi-hole punch runs.

Take a look at some of our most recent JTF-1H machine builds this first quarter of 2022. We still have a little ways to go to finish up completion on these machines with wiring and testing, but we are excited to show how close we are getting.

Our model JTF-1H is a general purpose, punch and jaw type, tube end forming machine. It is capable of producing many different types of end forms in thin-walled copper, aluminum and steel tubing.

Having a capacity of up to 1 1/8” O.D. tubes. Some end forms can be produced with a single punch, some require the use of two punches and some can be done by simply closing the jaws on the part. The machine has a selector switch for each of these settings. The tooling can be changed from part to part very quickly, two to three minutes to change tools and make the setup.

A FEW FEATURES AND SPECIFICATIONS...

* The machines manual cycle is used for machine setup, the automatic cycle is foot actuated.
* Tooling can be designed around customers drawings or sample work pieces to get exactly what you need.
* The punches and clamp jaws are constructed from hardened tool steel, punches are hard chrome plated for wear resistance.
* Its tube size capacity is up to 1 1/8” O.D. tube.
* It offers single, double or jaws only punch cycle, the time for a single hit is 1.8 seconds, a double hit is 2.8 seconds.
* Offering a simple quick-change tooling schematic.
* The machine footprint is 8’ x 8’ with operator, height is 60”.
* It requires compressed air 80-100 PSI, electrical power 3 phase, 60 hertz, 240 or 480 volt.
* It's hydraulic system is 20G-6GPM-5HP.

We design the tools to produce end forms to our customer’s specifications.

Our AMP-1 machine is a mandrel style hole punching machine that can either be used as a stand alone unit or it can paired up with a Robotic arm and an automated tube feeder. The Robotic arm autonomously picks the tubes up from a feeder rack, loads them for hole punching, then stacks the finished tubes and repeats the process.

This machine has a three head turret, that allows for three different hole sizes without having to change your set up. Multiple different patterns can be programed into the machine to punch holes in copper, aluminum, and steel tube.

Tooling can be designed to offer multiple holes in a row or multiple holes on different planes to be punched simultaneously.

The mandrel style hole punching is a cost-effective way to punch round, square, or rectangular tubing. This method of punching uses an internal support so the outside diameter integrity of the tube is not altered or a tube needs to telescope and fit inside one another, making it more accurate and holding tighter tolerances.

The machine has a punching capacity of 0.562” to 84.00” from end of tube and can accept outside diameters of up to 1.63”. This machine can be programmed for both linear and radial hole positioning.

Check out our build progress so far of our seven head BCX-3, tube expander! Each expander head can be dedicated to a different tube size, giving you a zero setup up time for your daily operation. You can mount and use just a single head expander for small operations, or a multiple-head configuration as shown, for expanding a wide variety of tube sizes without changing the tooling head.

This type of tube expander is designed for expanding thin walled tube in order to receive a tube of the same O.D. for a braze joint.

Operation of the BCX-3 is simple, quick and easy. You place a tube over a mandrel on the expander head and depress the foot-operated valve which quickly and safely expands the tube end.

Designed and built here in the USA, they are built to last and outperform our competitors.

Call us today to find out more.
