CNC Tube & Pipe End Forming Machine
A precision tube & pipe end forming solution engineered for repeatable, accurate end shaping operations in fabrication and production environments. Designed to shape, flare, expand, reduce, bead, or form tube ends consistently with minimal setup time.
What Is a Pipe End Forming Machine?
A Pipe End Forming Machine (also known as a tube end former) is a specialised metalworking machine designed to reshape, expand, reduce, flare, bead, or profile the end of a tube or pipe.
Unlike a tube bender, which changes the shape of the tube along its length, an end forming machine modifies only the end section to prepare it for joining, sealing, strengthening, or assembly.
What Can a Pipe End Former Do?
- Tube Expansion – Expand pipe and tube ends for slip-fit joints, exhaust systems, and HVAC duct connections.
- Tube Reduction / Necking – Reduce outside diameter for stepped tube assemblies and precision component fitting.
- Hydraulic Tube Flaring – Create accurate flares for hydraulic lines, brake lines, and fluid transfer systems.
- Pipe Beading for Hose Retention – Form consistent retention beads for intercooler piping, radiator hoses, and pressure systems.
- Multi-Stage End Forming – Perform expanding, reducing, flaring, and profiling in a single CNC forming cycle.
- Tube End Capping & Closing – Prepare tube ends for structural fabrication, automotive manufacturing, and OEM production.

What to Consider When Choosing the
Right CNC Pipe End Forming Machine
Our team has compiled the key factors to consider when investing in a Koenig CNC Pipe & Tube End Forming Machine for precision tube expansion, reduction, flaring, and profile forming applications.
Material Type & Wall Thickness
Confirm the tube material (carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper, brass) and maximum wall thickness you need to form. Material strength and thickness directly affect forming force requirements, tooling selection, and machine configuration.
Tube Diameter Range
Check the minimum and maximum tube diameter the CNC end forming machine can accommodate. Selecting the correct forming range ensures consistent results across your production line without overstressing tooling or hydraulics.
Forming Complexity
Single-stage expansion, multi-stage reductions, flaring, beading, radius forming, or custom stepped profiles — define the level of complexity required. Advanced CNC end formers allow multiple forming operations within a single automatic cycle.
Automation Level
Choose between standalone CNC operation, servo-controlled multi-stage forming, or fully automated loading and unloading systems. Higher automation reduces labour input and increases production consistency in high-volume environments.
Accuracy & Repeatability
Servo-driven forming systems and rigid machine construction are critical for tight tolerances and consistent forming depth. Precision control improves joint fitment, sealing performance, and overall product quality.
Tooling Capability & Flexibility
Evaluate the availability of expansion dies, reduction tooling, beading heads, and custom profile tooling. A flexible CNC pipe end former should allow quick tooling changeover and multi-station forming capability.
Production Volume
Match the machine configuration to your output requirements — from batch fabrication to continuous high-volume manufacturing. Cycle time efficiency and programmable memory are essential for repeat production runs.
Machine Footprint & Integration
Allow space for material handling, tube feeding, and automation zones. Consider integration with upstream tube cutting machines or downstream welding and assembly processes.
Support & Service
Ensure local installation, operator training, spare parts availability, and technical support. At Koenig Machinery, service and long-term machine support are core to every installation.
