MACRODYNE ELASTOFORMING
PRESS SOLUTIONS
Our elastoforming presses are available with the full contingent of features available on all Macrodyne hydraulic presses. In addition, these presses can be supplied with application specific features including single or dual shuttle tables as well as automated pad change arrangements.
MULTIPLE FRAMES STYLES ARE AVAILABLE TO SUIT YOUR SPECIFIC MANUFACTURING REQUIREMENTS
Macrodyne elastoforming presses are typically supplied in monolithic or multi-frame style configurations depending on the forming pad size and specific pressure required over the pad area.
Heavy duty monolithic frames are used for smaller, lower pressure applications. Multi-frames are used for a large hydraulic press with higher pressure applications, and feature the same torsional rigidity of a monolithic frame but with the ability to be disassembled into smaller, lighter components for shipping purposes.
VERSATILITY REDEFINED WITH MODERN ELASTOFORMING PRESS TECHNOLOGY
Macrodyne's modern elastoforming presses feature a high degree of versatility as embossing, bending, and trimming operations can occur simultaneously with an unprecedented degree of accuracy. Furthermore, several different parts can be produced in a single pressing cycle. Our elastoforming presses produce high strength, high quality parts that require no additional de-burring or finishing and at a much lower cost compared to conventional methods.
RAPID PROTOTYPING CAPABILITY WITH MINIMAL TOOLING COSTS
Macrodyne elastoforming presses have several unique benefits. Prototyping can be performed rapidly and cost effectively. Tooling costs are low as a small male forming block is typically required, even for complex part geometries.
Using our elastoforming presses also results in lower operating and capital costs compared to traditional fluid cell presses. Combined with faster cycle times, they have become the equipment of choice for many aerospace manufacturers.
