TD-31040 Airbag Tube Closing Machine | Inflator Housing Tube End Closing

ID:TD-31040-airbag
Introduction
—
TD-31040 closes the tube ends of automotive airbag components such as inflator housings and gas storage tubes. The tube end is spin-formed cold into a one-piece closed end, with no weld and no plug, and the wall thickens naturally at the closure. Range Ø10–40 mm, wall 0.8–2.0 mm; other sizes evaluated by sample.

Detailed Information

What airbag tube parts require

Airbag inflators and gas storage tubes are automotive safety parts: the closure must be gas-tight, pressure-resistant and consistent from part to part. A welded end cap risks porosity and a heat-affected zone; a plug adds a joint. TD-31040 gradually spin-forms the tube end into a one-piece dome with no seam, and the wall thickens at the closure.

Tube range

Tube ODØ10–40 mm
Wall thickness0.8–2.0 mm standard; other sizes evaluated by sample
MaterialsCarbon steel, stainless steel, aluminium; good ductility required, seam welds must be sound
End formFully closed dome, or centre hole set by tooling

Why spin closing

  • One-piece end with no weld or plug joint
  • Cold forming with no heat-affected zone
  • PLC-controlled closing length and hole size for consistent production
  • Three stations working in turn, one operator

FAQ

Does the closed end need welding afterwards?
No. The dome is formed in one piece. Leak and pressure testing follows your own specification; we can supply sample parts for testing.

Can a centre hole be left?
Yes, the hole size is set by the tooling.

How do I send samples?
Give tube OD × wall × material × length and a drawing of the closed end; we close samples and return them.

How do I request a quotation?
