Thanks to their new Triform Deep Draw Hydroforming press, our customer no longer needs to stock the expensive molds that had originally been required to cast their products. Their post tops also now have a flawless finish due to the flexible rubber diaphragm which acts as the female half of the tool. As a result, production costs went from approximately $30.00 per piece to $8.00…a savings of more than 70% per piece! Read More
With a relationship over a decade strong, Bill Schwagerman, Senior Project Manager- Engineering, of Fike Corporation says: "We're now engaging with a younger generation at Beckwood. It not only feels like the work ethic and quality of technology has been passed down, but we also see them pushing the technology into new territory. As a result, their equipment continues to align with our needs.” Read More

“We might change tools 15 times or more per shift. With the Triform, tool changes literally take seconds. Conversely, changing tools on our larger hydroforming presses can take 30 minutes or more.” - James Priest, Lead Press Operator Read More
“Having the strength of Beckwood at our backs, through their proactive support efforts and dedicated service technicians, provided the level of comfort we needed to make this project work. This is not just a piece of equipment; it’s a complete forming solution.” -John Krochmal, Meggitt Safety Systems Read More
The Beckwood PPM system is able to recognize acceptable parameters for each metric and notify the user’s team of emerging patterns that could lead to problems...before a shutdown occurs. This type of early detection is paramount for critical path equipment. Read More
“The size and configuration of the press require less steps and less motion from the operators. The machine’s small size means an operator doesn't have to reach far to run both sides of the press. It’s been a nice upswing for us. The ability to form and fixture-quench the part at the same time has eliminated three steps from our production cycle.” -Doug Bruce, President and Owner, Osmundson Manufacturing Co. Read More
“This seven-machine project is a terrific example of Beckwood’s ability to solve our customers’ 360- degree manufacturing challenges,” said Beckwood President, Jeffrey Debus. “Our specific experience with aerospace industry forming applications and diverse engineering and manufacturing capabilities make us an ideal single-source supplier.” Read More
“We had been forming parts for years which we now know were tailor-made for the Triform,” Steelville Engineer Joseph Dust. “The addition of the 24-5FC definitely makes forming those parts much easier. With Triform, the overall time required for the completion of our tools has been cut in half!” Read More
“We run anywhere from 30 to 40 different part numbers on the press in a given day,” said Joe Connolly, Operations Manager at Milford. “We estimate we are saving 20% or better in production time for each part.” Read More
