TECHNOLOGIES

For more than 80 years, we have been providing the industry with the construction and installation of sheet stretch forming, profile stretch forming, elastoforming, hot forming, superplastic forming machines as well as linear friction welding machines.

Sheet Stretch Forming

Stretch forming is widespread in the aerospace industry. It allows the manufacture of large parts, most often made of aluminum, with lower tooling costs than those of the drawing tools, as only a single run is required to form the part, on a single die.

Elastoforming

Elastoforming is an economical and high productivity forming technique to stamp shallow parts. The process uses high pressure to press a blank into a die using flexible, high strength elastomer pads.
