Manual Tube Expander Hornung HW6

Manual Tube Expander Hornung HW6


Hornung HW6 Hand Expander, produced by the German manufacturer Andreas Hornung Maschinenbau, is a manual machine designed for expanding the ends of thin-walled metal pipes (expanding or creating sockets). This equipment is ideal for stationary use in a workshop or directly on a construction site, as it features a modular design convenient for transportation. Expanding allows for the creation of “bell” joints on pipes for subsequent “pipe-in-pipe” connections, which is critical for chimney, ventilation, and drainage systems.

Features and Advantages

Feature Advantage
On-Site Socket Creation Mobility — the collapsible stand allows the machine to be easily transported in any vehicle, minimizing the need for repeat site visits.
Material Savings Rational Use — pipe scraps can be used as connecting or transitional elements by expanding them into sockets.
Drive Mechanism Durability — features a drive with a trapezoidal threaded spindle and bronze nut; bronze segments operate on a hardened and precision-ground mandrel, guaranteeing a long service life.
Precision Scale Repeatability — equipped with a millimeter-graduated scale tied to the diameter, ensuring exact reproduction of the required expansion size.
Tooling Versatility Compatibility — HW6 tools are compatible with Hornung’s hydraulic production machines (e.g., W6), simplifying production unification.
Fast ROI Economic Benefit — the investment pays off quickly through savings on fittings and improved logistics.

Standard Equipment

The base configuration of the Hornung HW6 includes:

  • Main Machine Body: Drive mechanism with a trapezoidal threaded spindle and bronze nut.

  • Expanding Head: Featuring bronze segments that move along a hardened mandrel.

  • Collapsible Stand: Tripod base for stationary operation and easy transport.

  • Precision Scale: Millimeter graduation for accurate setting of the expansion stroke.

Options
