  • Swaging of radiator/heat-exchanger component

    This fully automatic production cell contains two 211 standard Torrington rotary swaging machines facing opposite directions. The magazine automatically loads a part in the first swaging station to form the 1st end. The part is then autonomously transferred to the next stage for the second reduction by a transfer station. 

    ​

    This cell’s capacity is set at 450 fully finished parts per hour. It’s entirely customized to the client’s needs and runs on a pneumatic system for easier, low cost maintenance.

  • Variable lengths mandrel swaging

    This machine is once again designed to be fully automated to meet the industry’s high volume needs. This equipment was designed to swage different lengths and diameters of aluminum tubes over a mandrel for an automotive brake line assembly.

    ​

    The magazine can support multiple parts length (up to 19″ as in the video) and diameters. Again, the whole systems runs on electric and pneumatic power, making it easy to maintain and environmentally friendly

  • Heat exchanger assembly

    The following video shows a semi-automatic system designed to swage the key component in a heat exchanger assembly.

    ​

    The particularity of this setup is that it serves 2 purposes:

    ​

    • the first is to swage one end of the tube

    • the second, and more complex, is to autonomously complete the assembly of the tube by swaging one component over the other

    ​

    The system uses a specially designed set of telecospic pneumatics cylinder and application-specific programming to achieve its goals.

The automotive industry

Automotive manufacturing is part of Torrington’s DNA. Our team keeps pushing the boundaries of innovation to create new and exciting products.

The latest breakthrough being a whole new technology, unique to Torrington: Spline forming, also known as push-pull internally at Torrington. This specialized process enables our clients to replace obsolete welded assemblies by single-piece components while improving on the precision. The process is especially well-suited for high volume components like steering columns and power transmission shafts. Spline forming production lines can easily meet CpKs of 3 and above. In addition, swaging and end-forming have experienced a significant uptick in recent years with applications like aluminum components of auxiliary systems (heat exchangers, brake line systems, etc.)
