Abstract
A hand expansion device is capable of expanding pipe ends. The device includes an expanding head, which can be actuated by an electric motor and/or by a hydraulic medium and which has a plurality of segments. The segments can be actuated by an expanding mandrel that can be moved in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the expanding head. The segments are expanded in a direction which is transverse to the movement direction of the expanding mandrel as the result of a first triggering of an expansion process. A second activation of the hand expansion device is only allowed if it is determined that the hand expansion device was rotated around the longitudinal axis a predetermined angle.
