Wilson Tube Expanding System (WTES) - Electric
The new WTES system from Thomas C. Wilson is the latest in electronic torque controlled units for tube expanding.

The unit also includes an automatic lubrication system that adds lubrication directly to the collar to ensure longer life of both the expanders and tubes being expanded. Unit is also available as an air-driven model.

Electronic Torque Control Box

The Wilson Electronic Torque Control Box allows for torque-controlled tube expansion in any condition. Easy to set up, the system allows users to roll tubes in less than 3 minutes and provides accurate and repeatable tube-to-tube seat expansions on heat exchangers, condensers, and boilers. The system consists of a range of electric motors and control boxes. Automatically stopping the motor when selected torque is reached, control boxes are adjustable for expanding torque and are available in automatic reverse or manual reverse depending on the model of the motor selected and in 110V or 220V single-phase supply choices. Digital torque control boxes come with an auxiliary signal light which goes out when the required torque value is met. Motors are on/off reversing and equipped with a dead handle that gives operators added leverage and maneuverability.
