Tube shaping - Walform 

The Walform tube shaping device is a specialized machine used in power hydraulics for precise forming of tube ends steel tubes. The Walform process involves the plastic deformation of the tube end in such a way as to create a durable and tight connection with a fitting element, without the need for welding or using additional cutting rings.

Walform system for tube shaping 

Walform technology uses high pressure and special forming tools that shape the tube in accordance with hydraulic connection standards. As a result, a uniform, durable tube end is obtained, perfectly matched to the hydraulic fitting socket. Such a connection is characterized by very high resistance to pressure, vibrations and variable dynamic loads, which is of particular importance in industrial and mobile installations. 

Where is the Walform system used? 

Walform devices are primarily used in power hydraulic systems in the machinery, construction, power, mining industries, and in mobile hydraulics. They are often used in the production of high-pressure installations where maximum reliability and repeatability of connections are required. This technology is also eagerly used in serial production of tube lines, as it ensures high quality while reducing assembly time.

Advantages of using Walform solutions 

The most important advantages of Walform devices include very high connection tightness, elimination of assembly error risks, no damage to the material structure, and the ability to work with various steel tube diameters. Additionally, the forming process allows the tube to maintain its full strength, which is important when working under high operating pressure. In practice, Walform is a solution chosen wherever durability, safety, and professional quality of hydraulic connections. 

Alternative method of joining steel tubes 

The Walform system is an alternative way of joining steel tubes in power hydraulics, which allows for a durable and tight connection without the need for welding. This technology involves precise shaping of the tube end through controlled plasticization, making the tube fit perfectly with the fitting and creating a connection with very high resistance to pressure and vibration. Unlike classic methods, Walform eliminates the need for cutting rings or heat treatment. The connection is formed directly on the tube material, which increases its reliability and repeatability. For this reason, the Walform system is often used in high-pressure installations, mobile hydraulics, and in the machinery industry, where safety and long-term operation are key.
