Abstract
A flaring machine comprises a forming die (14) mounted on a support, two jaws (6) forming a clamping tool for holding one end of pipe (4) to be flared, driving means (17, 18) permitting an orbital motion of the forming die, driving means (25) permitting the forming die to move towards pipe end (4) and means permitting the forming die to move away from pipe end (4). Jaws (6) are disposed in a stationary jaw holder forming a first block (1). A second stationary block (2) faces the first block. A mobile block (3) comprising forming die (14), its support and its driving means (17) is provided with guiding means (12) connecting the two stationary blocks. Mobile block (3) is driven in translational motion by a hydraulic cylinder disposed in the second stationary block (2).

A machine for flaring a pipe end, comprising a forming die mounted on a support, two jaws forming a clamping tool to hold the pipe end to be flared, first driving means providing orbital motion of the forming die, second driving means providing axial motion of the forming die toward the pipe end and means providing axial motion of the forming die away form the pipe end, said jaws disposed in a stationary jaw holder forming a first block of the machine, a second stationary block facing the first block, a mobile block comprising the forming die, the support for the forming die, and the first driving means, and guiding means interconnecting the two stationary blocks for allowing translational movement of the mobile block, wherein said mobile block is driven in translational motion along the guiding means by a hydraulic cylinder, said hydraulic cylinder comprising a cylinder body, and a cylinder chamber disposed in the second stationary block and a cylinder piston forming an integral part of the mobile block, said hydraulic cylinder supplied by a hydraulic pump mounted on the mobile block.
A machine for flaring a pipe end, comprising a first stationary block including a clamping tool to hold the pipe end to be flared, a stationary block facing the first block, and a mobile block disposed between the first and second blocks, and axially moveable on at least one column extending between and interconnecting the first and second blocks, said mobile block including a forming die mounted on a support and driving means providing an orbital motion of the forming die, and
- a hydraulic cylinder for moving the mobile block toward the first stationary block, said hydraulic cylinder including a cylinder body and a cylinder chamber disposed in the second stationary block, and a cylinder piston forming an integral part of the mobile block, said hydraulic cylinder supplied by a hydraulic pump mounted on the mobile block.
