ALLFORM technology enables the economical production of complex and intricate workpiece
shapes. This complexity relates to both longitudinal and cross sections. Typical examples
include chassis parts, branching elements of tubes, and frame and exhaust parts.
The ALLFORM method: The starting material is
usually a hollow pre-form or a sheet blank, which is pressed into the shape of a forming
tool with a high-pressure fluid. Compared to conventional methods, even hydro-mechanical
and hydrostatic ones, the forming possibilities are significantly increased.
The advantages of ALLFORM PRESSES
- Weight and material savings of 40 to 50 %, in some cases even up to 75 %
- Wall thickness distribution optimized to component requirements
- High work hardening
- Continuous material grain flow for optimum component performance
- More precise dimensional accuracy
- Flow-advantageous component contours and junction geometries
- Elimination of webs for joining operations
- Better usage of limited installation space
