Machines
Our forming machines
Solutions for many industries
2. High speed end former
Sealing of pipe ends, forming of bottle necks and flanges as a one-piece solution, without welding
1. Reducing / expanding press / swagers
Mainly cold forming (reducing/flaring) of pipe ends; Ø 10 mm – Ø 508 mm (20″)
7. Special solutions
Combination of different production technologies to create networked and complete production lines
6. Punching inside/outside
Hydraulic and electric punching unit for tubes with a diameter of Ø 40 – 72 mm (internal punching, external punching)
5. Bending machines / massive forming
