Hydroforming is just one example of the professional technology that is used at PTS: First, straight or preformed tubes are placed in a tool which remains closed during the forming process. An appropriate internal pressure (medium: water-oil emulsion) is then used for forming, the material is continuously fed, and the repeatability ensures accurate results.
The internal pressure sometimes amounts to more than thousand bars. PTS also takes care of the programming and milling of the corresponding tools.
