Addison-McKee FM-70 RFRF End Forming Machine

The Addison-McKee FM-70RF End Forming Machine is a 3-inch-capacity tube-end former built around Addison McKee’s FM-70RF platform, delivering precise ram-forming and end-forming for tubing. It handles a broad forming envelope from about 0.125 inches minimum tube OD up to 3 inches maximum, supporting operations such as vise and ram forming, flanging, beading, and expanding/reducing, with the ability to use segmented tooling for tailored end forms. The system ships with Allen-Bradley PLC and related components for integrated control, features hard-stop stroke settings for repeatable parts, and a flag-stop to control insertion depth, all mounted on a configuration that supports a safe two-hand cycle start. Operating power is 460 volts, 60 Hz, three-phase, reflecting the robust hydraulic and control architecture Addison McKee is known for in its RF end-forming family. This FM-70RF configuration provides a reliable, factory-integrated solution compatible with standard tooling and accessory options for custom applications in tube fabrication and end-forming workflows.
