Why does the Swagelok Power Tool tube ovality become unacceptable?
Unacceptable tube ovality can occur if the forming pressure is either too high or too low; adjust the pressure to achieve proper results by turning the roller adjustment knob. Also, check the bend shoe for the proper size and excessive wear.
What to do if wrinkles occur on the inside surface of the bend when using the Swagelok Power Tool?
If wrinkles appear on the inside surface of the bend, it could be due to insufficient forming pressure. Try applying more pressure on the tube by turning the roller knob clockwise, then recalibrate. The bend shoe may be worn, or the rollers or bend shoe may be the wrong size for the tube. Another reason could be that the bend shoe radius may be too small, so change to a larger-radius bend shoe.
What to do if the Swagelok Power Tool tube kinks?
If the tube kinks, it is likely due to an excessive gap between the clamp arm and rollers. Bend with a gap of approximately 3/8 in. or 10 mm between the clamp arm and rollers.
Why is the bend angle not consistent from bend to bend with the Swagelok Power Tool?
Inconsistent bend angles can occur if the roller knob has been rotated between bends. To prevent this, do not rotate the roller knob after setup is completed.
What to do if excessive tube deformation occurs on the back surface of the bend with the Swagelok Power Tool?
If excessive tube deformation occurs on the back surface of the bend, it is likely because the forming pressure is excessive. Reduce forming pressure by turning the roller knob counterclockwise, then recalibrate.
