Hydroforming is a metal forming technology based on the application of pressurized liquid media to generate defined workpiece shapes from tubular materials or sheet metals.
Hydroforming sheet metal and device.
It is the preferred technique for shaping intricate components from ductile metals.
Numerous industries for example the manufacturers of automotive components and the piping industries which are providing mass products apply this technology productively.
Manufacturing and assembly for the aerospace industry.
Fluidforming s universal sheet metal and tube forming machine the formbalancer is a force contained structure that permits extremely high forming pressures of up to 400 mpa 60 000 psi.
With up to 4x the pressure used by traditional hydroforming devices highly complex medical equipment components and devices with can be formed with ease.
The basic die includes an upper shoe 15 mountable to the outer slide 11 and hydraulic cylinder assemblies 17 18 mounted on the base and actuable by the inner slide for providing pressurised fluid to the tooling.
Hydroforming is a quick efficient and reasonably priced metal forming technique that produces structurally strong components with minimum material wastage.
Virtually all metals capable of cold forming can be hydroformed.
