    Tool to Apply a Radial Force on Tubes

    Hi,

    I am looking to design a tool that will applya radial force to multiply small diameter tubes at once. The tubes go through a manufacturing process that cuts various geometries through the tube. After the cutting process, the tube OD has increased by approx 0.008".

    I would like to have a tool that would apply a small radial force on the tubes in order to ruturn the tube OD close to it's orginal OD.

    Any ideas????

    Thanks

    I ~ think that you are looking for a die, therefore search the internet for "Diameter reducing Die" or "Pipe Reducing machining" or Tube Diameter Reducing machine".
    Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.
