With hybrid forming principles, we ensure concentrated production success and elevate your components to a new level.
Forming.
By flexibly combining mechanical or hydraulic cutting and punching, along with cold-forming processes, we facilitate the production of cost-effective and stable components of the highest quality. For chipless forming of aluminum, steel, or high-strength steel with minimized machining steps, we rely on a modern equipment park.
Cold forming allows complex part geometries to be precisely implemented without the need for downstream mechanical processes. The use of targeted forming processes via step press tools enables the production of different wall thicknesses. The cold hardening associated with the forming ensures excellent functionality – even without downstream heat treatment. With each stroke, a ready-to-install part is created.
Each year, around 22 million high-precision parts are produced at our forming sites in Germany, the USA, and China, mainly for the automotive industry. Forming components such as planetary and disc carriers are indispensable for modern dual-clutch, automatic and hybrid transmissions, for continuously variable automatic transmissions and differentials. Our forming technologies actively shape the trends of the future.
The automotive industry pursues ambitious goals: constructing vehicles that are lighter, more fuel-efficient, more stable, and more economically viable – the ideal vehicle of tomorrow. The potential lies in reducing vehicle weight and in optimising the powertrain. With our processes for chipless forming, lightweight multifunctional parts can be economically, manufactured in large-scale industrial production. They support weight reduction as well as a more compact design while enhancing precision. As a result, significant optimizations can be achieved in terms of fuel consumption, reliability, and shifting comfort.
Even complex constructions can be produced in a single work step.
At 600 parts per hour, the forming presses not only ensure precision but also high output.
