Double Notching 90° "T" Joints on Pipe and Tubing
The Vogel Arc-Twin notches both sides of pipe or tube ends for T-joints with only one stroke of the press. There is no deformation, minimal burr, and the tool creates a slug, not chips, so your part is ready for welding or brazing. Notching time per tube or pipe end is as fast as you can load your part and cyle your press. Our Arc-Twin Self Contained Machines have an approx. 3 - 4 second cycle time. Tooling is easily changeable without removing the die from your press. Tooling is designed to be sharpenable. An Arc-Twin can also be used for putting in slots, weep holes, and other features than must be 180° opposed.
The Arc-Twin Tandem operates exactly like the Arc-Twin, but used an extra set of Die Inserts to cut notching time in half and double the output. In other words, it notches two tube or pipe ends at one time. Both die inserts can be the same or different sizes. The Arc-Twin Tandem can also be used when you need to notch two different sizes frequently, and want to avoid down-time for tooling changeover. Simply select the right or left side of the tool, based on what tooling you've installed, and you're ready to notch your part.
Complete Self-Contained Arc-Twin Machines are the perfect choice when an appropriate press is available or when a compact easily relocatable machine is desired.

VOGEL SELF-CONTAINED HYDRAULIC ARC-TWIN MACHINES
 |
Our self-contained machines are perfect when you wish to create a compact fabrication cell, or can devote your punch press to other higher-value work.
Don't have an appropriate press? Our Arc-Twin Machines are more economical, easier to relocate, and easier to maintain than purchasing a traditional punch press to power an Arc-Twin Die Set Tool.
Is low labor costs and ease of use important? With our Arc-Twin Machine, it's virtually as easy as "1 - 2 - 3".

 How Arc-Twin Tooling Works:
The punch [fig. 1] and punch ring [fig. 2] are located in a punch holder. The punch faces toward the front of the tool.
The tube is inserted into the front of your Arc-Twin, through the die [fig. 3] that surrounds the tube OD. As the tube is inserted, it slides over the punch, and stops against the punch ring.
When using the Arc-Twin die-set models, cams shuttle the punch horizontally through the tube walls, then back to center. As the punch travels through the side walls, the outside of the walls are supported by the die, preventing deformation to the tube.
When using the Arc-Twin hydraulic models, a hydraulic cylinder controls the punch movement.
We can make thousands of different punch and die sets for your Arc-Twin tooling.
Typical applications include:
-
Round tubes to fit a different size OD
-
Square tubes notched to fit round
-
Notches with drainholes
-
Slots in rounds, squares, ovals
-
V-Notches
