Multidraw

9

The production of long, slender drawn parts is often a challenge and usually requires several drawing steps. With conventional manufacturing processes, multi-stage work processes and the need to transport parts between the individual stations require considerable investments.

Several deep-drawing processes are necessary for the production of long, slender drawn parts. In traditional manufacturing systems, the various work stations and the transport from one station to the next require considerable investments.

A multi-stage process flow allows several deep-drawing, ironing or punching processes to be carried out in a single operation. This leads to significantly reduced investment costs.

Several hydraulic servo axes enable a diverse range of parts. A wide range of movement profiles can be run during the process, which means that a high degree of material efficiency and robustness of the process can be achieved.

Our revolutionary, newly developed sheet metal forming machine redefines industry standards. It enables multiple deep drawings in a single tool thanks to innovative 4-drive axis technology and even enables the deep drawing of non-cylindrical shapes.

The machine is economically efficient for both flow production with a volume of 100 thousand units per year and for series production with 10 thousand units per year.

Several hydraulic servo axes enable a diverse range of parts. A variety of movement profiles can be carried out during the process, which means that a high level of material efficiency and robustness of the process can be achieved.

One of the outstanding advantages of our machine is its free-standing design. Since no special foundation is required, installation becomes easier and more cost-effective.

This process is suitable for multi-part drawn parts that are to be produced in one operation. These include, among others:
