The components are heated to approx. 930°C (1700°F) before being formed in the hydraulic press. The die is designed for controlled water cooling of the components. Two robots load the continuous flow oven with blanks or pre-formed parts. The still warm finished parts are stacked into transport containers. 5

In the forming of the part and the controlled cooling the user benefits from the characteristic advantages of hydraulic presses. In addition, the graphic display/visualization offers the line operators a quick overview of the process parameters. hydraulic press technology The forming process takes place in a wa- ter-cooled die with press forces of be- tween 800 and 1,200 metric tons. The for- ming speed, dependent on the compo- nent, ranges from 100-300 mm/sec and the cooling times in the closed die ranges from one to ten seconds. During the coo- ling time, the press must remain closed in...
