forming flange production cell
Project challenge.
  • To substitute a forged part
  • Material hardening by forming
  • Zero-error target
Solution concept.
  • Appropriate material cross-sections, machining of just the sealing surface
  • Machine concept precisely aligned to the forming flange
  • Continual process monitoring by means of structure-borne sound, camera systems and eddy current
Know-how + digitalisation x 16 million parts = zero ppm.

Project challenge.
  • Material 1.4301 in sheet-metal thickness of 10 mm
  • Drill-hole diameter only 70% of the sheet-metal thickness
  • > For cost reasons, no machining outside the sealing surface
Solution concept.
  • Multi-step fine blanking tool
  • Daisy-chain grinding process with 100% inspection using camera systems
Creativity & force cleverly combined.
