The twin machines feature precision CNC controls, including independent arm movement for increased capability. Integrated tool heating is included to facilitate forming high-strength materials, and full process programmability, with built-in recipe functionality / job storage, is also incorporated.Triform’s stretch forming solutions result in highly accurate forming results, with adjustable cycles to facilitate both traditional and tangential stretch forming.
