Six Axis Double Sided Incremental Forming
Two hexapod robots synchronized to perform double sided incremental sheet metal forming. Capable of forming complex surfaces.?
Applications:?
-
Automated manufacturing of sheet metal parts integrated with automatic machine tending?
-
Rapid prototyping of sheet metal parts?
?
Double Sided Incremental Forming
Uses a solid point tool on each side of the sheet metal moving along a CNC tool path to gradually push/pull and squeeze the sheet into its final shape.?
Applications:?
-
Rapid prototyping of sheet metal parts?
-
From car fenders to custom fit surgical ?
-
Advanced metal forming research
?
Electro Magnetic Forming
Rapid metal forming technology that uses a blast of current to produce an electromagnetic force that deforms the workpiece. Equipped with a laser that can track workpiece velocity.?
Applications:?
-
Impact welding?
-
Metal to composite crimping?
-
Metal container forming
