Internal flared ends are often used to provide an enlarged entry point for other components. Maintaining the original tube OD while forming the internal taper is a critical design feature which requires a precise, repeatable process. A wide variation in tube sizes, tip configurations and polymer choices add extra layers of complexity to the tip forming process. Vante and PlasticWeld diverse equipment options provide you with unmatched versatility to meet your specific production challenges.
