‘Cold Forming’

A Manufacturingtalk guide

Start with the news release Trumpf's machinery sales buck downturn from Trumpf, which we summarised at the time by saying "Customers are continuing to invest in machinery from Trumpf that minimises part costs and maximises their quality.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Schuler forging presses supplied to China from Schuler Systems: "Schuler is supplying two forging presses to Shandong Shantui Construction in Jinging, China, to help the company modernise and expand production of crawler trucks and support rollers.".
 
In June 2009, we covered the news from Unison - take a look at Combined bending machines improve GKN operations which says: "GKN Aerospace has improved the efficiency and speed of tube-bending operations at its wing component facility in Filton, UK, despite using demanding tubing materials and fabricating complex shapes.".
 
Take a look also at the news release from HepcoMotion, Hepcomotion creates Dualvee washdown wheels, as well as IWM cold-wash process offers energy savings from Industrial Washing Machines, and Novacel develops protective film for sheet metal from French Technology Press Bureau.
