Small Plastic Sheet Hydroforming Press

Current press frame designs for tube and sheet forming are uneconomic for large forces.

Small plastic sheet hydroforming press.

The process can create a wide range of complex geometric shapes from a variety of materials including aluminum steel stainless titanium niobium inconel copper composites and more. Sheet hydroforming is a metal forming process that uses pressurized hydraulic fluid in a flexible diaphragm to shape sheet metal against a single tool. This press achieves a clamping force of 100 mn which is absorbed by a single cast frame with a circumferential pretensioning system. The new press incorporates data acquisition and control features for research purposes.

The costs associated with hydroforming equipment tooling supplies and additional employees can be prohibitive especially for a small company. From traditional hydraulic forming presses to servo electric presses and specialty forming equipment beckwood leverages decades of experience engineering and manufacturing forming equipment to exceed your operational demands. Hydroforming presses macrodyne hydroforming presses are designed for both high and low pressure complex hydroforming applications involving sheet or tubular based parts. Beckwood forming presses are used by companies across the globe tackling some of the most challenging forming applications.

From small brackets to body sides to complex aerospace assemblies we have the capabilities to be your turnkey source. Hydroforming is a metalworking method used to shape ductile metals into strong yet lightweight parts. A new type of hydroforming press was recently developed for sheet applications. However it is possible for a company with limited resources to start up a hydroforming operation.

Ultimate hydroforming specializes in the forming and assembling of complex high precision parts for aerospace automotive alternative energy military medical and commercial fields. At jones metal products our hydroforming capabilities cover a broad range of product sizes shapes and specifications. Most users of it depend on sheet hydroforming or fluid forming a process during which pressurized water is used to form sheet metal. Check out the pressurized bladder in action.

Hydroforming is a cost effective way of shaping ductile metals such as aluminium brass low alloy steel and stainless steel into lightweight structurally stiff and strong pieces. A look at the deep draw sheet hydroforming process from inside the press.
