Fluid Forming Sheet Metal

Fluid cell forming is a process that utilizes a fluid cell press or bag press to form sheet metal into difficult shapes.

Fluid forming sheet metal. It focuses on aerospace technology and its mission is to support companies in process planning and equipment evaluation. Because forming and clamping pressures are independently variable throughout the process and allow for single die deep drawing one cavity can be used for multiple forming stages. These fluids are generally referred to as drawing and stamping fluids. Fft provides new and used equipment utilized in sheet metal process and forming applications.

Hydroforming is a specialized type of die forming that uses a high pressure hydraulic fluid to press room temperature working material into a die. Fluidforming hydroforming is a revolutionary new approach to an old metal forming technology. Which means progressive dies are unnecessary.

Sheet metal forming fluidforming can reliably produce complex geometric shapes undercuts organic forms deep drawn parts or components with curves which may wrinkle during a traditional die stamping process. To hydroform aluminium into a vehicle s frame rail a hollow tube of aluminium is placed inside a negative mold that has the shape of the desired result. 1 brush hill road suite 318 new fairfield ct 06812 203 746 6409 home.

Metal forming fluids are used to provide lubrication and cooling in metal bending stretching and shaping operations. 1 brush hill road suite 318 new fairfield ct 06812 203 746 6409. The press exerts high pressure up to 11 600 p s i onto a flexible rubber diaphragm that in turn forms sheet metal into shapes that meet precise tolerances. Fluidforming s bladder free technology uses water as the forming force.

The idea of direct pumping of hydraulic fluid to high pressures contained by a thin wall diaphragm or a fluid cell for use in forming sheet metal motivated the design of the original wheelon press. Our reinvention of hydroforming is the first major innovation in metal forming technology in more than 60 years.
