Tube Endformers
End formers shape the end of a tube so it can be joined, sealed or assembled: reducing, expanding, flaring, beading, flanging and more. We offer SOCO TF Series end formers along with TFS end formers and in-house tooling, matched to your tube and end form.

SOCO TF Series Tube End Formers
Hydraulic tube end formers for straight and bent parts up to 82 mm, with 1 or 2 operating stations, touch-screen control, fast setup and a compact footprint. They are widely used for automotive exhaust, furniture and air-conditioning tubing.
E Type: Ram & Vise
Ram and vise forming for beading, flaring and other end forms on straight and bent tubes.
- Up to 82 mm
- 1 or 2 operating stations
- Hydraulic, touch-screen control
IO Type: Expanding Segments & Reducing Jaws
Sizes tube ends to precise ID and OD using inside expanding segments and outside reducing jaws. These can run in any sequence for better sizing accuracy and less ovality.
- Up to 82 mm
- 1 or 2 operating stations
- Ideal for fit-up and sizing operations
IOE Type: IO + E Combined
Combines expanding and reducing (IO) with ram and vise forming (E) in one machine, for complex end forms without moving the part to a second machine.
- Up to 82 mm
- 1 or 2 operating stations
- Straight and bent parts
Multi-Station End Former
Combined forming across four heads, so multiple end-form steps happen in one cycle for high-volume production.
- Four forming heads
- Combined, multi-step forming
- Contact us for capacity on your part
We also supply end former tooling built in-house.
