FEINforming

FEINforming is designed for precise processing of very thin material thicknesses. This precision is vital for weight and volume reduction in fuel cells and electrolyzers​​, and facilitated by our high-precision toolmaking design and manufacturing capabilities​​.

The technology stands out for its precision, tolerance minimization and component optimization. It is particularly effective for producing key components in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) and electrolyzers (PEMEL), solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) and electrolyzers (SOEC)​ as well as annion exchange membrane electrolysis (AEM).

FEINforming plays a crucial role in the production of bipolar plates for vehicles using PEM technology. These plates are essential as they serve structurally as carrier plates and form the two poles of the fuel cell. The process ensures the high precision required for stack construction and the flow environment​​.

By ensuring a compact arrangement of fuel cells in the stack and increasing power density, FEINforming contributes to the development of powerful and compact vehicle drives​.

FEINforming ensures continuous homogeneity of channel height and material thickness, along with precision in cutting geometries integrated into the tool. This leads to fewer production steps and maximum precision​.
