One metal spinning manufacturer is well on their way to modernizing their shop’s capabilities with their first TRIFORM deep draw hydroforming machine. An owner of numerous Cincinnati machines, this shop produces a wide mix of aerospace & defense parts from cabin components to satellite dishes. With a wide library of tools for their current deep draw machines, this fabricator needed a press manufacturer who would have no trouble accommodating their existing dies.
Enter Beckwood. We haven’t been shy about touting the successes of our customers who have taken the initiative to bring their hydroforming operations into the modern age. Upon discovering the benefits that others have experienced with our TRIFORM machines, this shop knew it was time for them to make their move.
Their machine of choice is the TRIFORM 20-10-DD, one of our standard models that boasts a 20” forming diameter, a maximum 10” depth of draw, and a maximum 10,000 psi forming pressure within the chamber. As previously mentioned, this facility is home to a number of Cincinnati units. With their new TRIFORM, this shop will be able to consolidate many of their operations to just this single machine, eliminating the need for such a broad collection of presses and freeing up tons of square footage in their work area.
As a smaller shop with a heavy emphasis on manufacturing for A&D, this facility’s personnel will be pleased with TRIFORM’s robust and intuitive programming system which makes it easy to edit, store, and repeat intricate processes with precision. This in turn will allow them to reduce their reliance on skilled labor and instead usher in a new era of machinists. With TRIFORM’s ease of use, this shop can expect to experience significant cost savings in the form of less scrap, reworking, and less downtime overall. We are happy to be a part of their modernization efforts and look forward to delivering their new machine in the near future.
