 Purchase of First Flow Machine Development of Flowformed Components OUR COMAPNY Subsidiary Certification Objective Cold Forming is a specialized, multi-disciplined process that can be described as "shaping metal at room temperature under extreme pressures--in our case from 50 to 3,000 tons. Key Benefits Net or Near Net Shapes Very Close Tolerances Work Hardening Improves Yield and Ultimate Tensile Strength Ability to Produce Unique and Diverse Shapes impactextrusion Fine Surface Finish Cost Savings Products Engine/Valve Retainer Components Automatic Transmission impactextrusion Components Brake Components Driveline Components Suspension Components Air Bag Components Specialized die design is the key impactextrusion to cold forming technology. Forming''s research has led to production dies that can run hundreds of thousands of pieces at extreme pressures, while maintaining very close tolerances. As a result, Dies can be designed to accommodate various degrees of molecular compaction yielding net or near net shaped components with impactextrusion surfaces that have a fine micro-finish. Our engineers can adapt many designs impactextrusion to cold forming production specifications. Metal constantly upgrades to the latest CAD/CAM hard and software to move your project through quickly, efficiently and on time. As your supplier partner we like to participate in the planning stages in an effort to determine impactextrusion cold forming specifications and requirements for parts long before they are even designed. When should the Cold Forming process be considered? The part has multiple diameters High production quantities of the part are needed Significant raw material costs are associated with the part Part strength and reliability are important manufacturing criteria The Value of Cold Forming: Because raw materials are often times the most expensive component of manufacturing a part, Cold Forming is a low-cost alternative Cold Forming capabilities often reduce part costs while improving part quality and productivity. Generally the wire is feed into the forming machine by means of feed impactextrusion rolls, cropped to length by a shearing action then progressively cold formed. During the cold forming process, un-heated parts are forced into die cavities by forming punches to achieve a desired configuration, the friction between the forming tools and the material being formed results in an increase in temperature of the work-piece resulting in a work hardening effect. Cold forming provides remarkable flexibility making it possible to manufacture just about any geometrical shape. As shown in the picture, material is fed from a coil of wire into and through the wire rollers of the cold forming machine, where the wire is precisely cut by the wire shear and transferred to the first of several die cavities where it is struck with a punch impactextrusion or hammer (this is called ''a blow''). The first blow begins to form the shape of the fastener head while the second blow finishes the form/shape desired. The complexity of the shape or design desired determines the number of blows required to achieve that shape or design. self-sealing fasteners add another level of complexity by forming a precisely calculated groove in the undersurface of the fastener head impactextrusion at the same time that the fastener head is formed. The fastener is transferred to as many dies as necessary to achieve the desired shape with little or no scrap. We are the ultimate online resource for many different metal working jobs.
