AP&T manufactures and markets hydroforming presses with locking forces of up to 200,000 kN. Hydroforming means that metal blanks are formed with high-pressured water against a tool into finished details. This production method has many advantages. Complex details can be produced in fewer steps, with higher precision and to a lower cost. This, in turn, cuts the throughput time and the result is more flexible designs. The HF press consists of a rigid frame and a guided short stroke pre-forming slide. The hydroform process is carried out inside the hydroforming tool placed in the press. The design is appropriate for long parts that require a small deflection and high stability in frame, press table and tooling.
