Material professionally brought into shape
Regardless of whether it is exhaust or chassis parts, PTS uses effective and economical processing technology for all line assemblies to achieve high-quality results that meet requirements over the long term.
For the forming of pipe ends, PTS relies exclusively on the most innovative plant technology. Turning and milling machines or even multi-axis machining centers are used for the machining of tools and devices. A hose press with various tool diameters is available for processing hoses and pipes.
No production day is like the other
... but there is a system behind every move.
2D- 3D Lasercutting and Laser welding
Suitable printing, forming, and trimming machines are just as indispensable for the continuous processing as the corresponding drawing presses or tube perforating systems.
Flexible 2D and 3D laser cutting processing is ideally suited for small to medium batch sizes, as well as for frequent component changes. PTS has state-of-the-art laser cutting technologies at its disposal and can achieve extremely productive and reliable high-quality results.
PTS is perfectly equipped to optimally meet all the demands placed on your new prototype or your future series components.
Components can also be joined using laser welding. This allows for extremely fine and clean weld seams, ideal for demanding components and tight tolerances.
Concentrated heat input ensures the material retains its dimensional stability, thereby reducing the need for rework.
Fast process times ensure cost-effective production for all batch sizes.
We offer laser welding services for steel, stainless steel, titanium and Inconel.
State-of-the-art technologies for all “curve positions”
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.
Specialists in pipe bending
Bending pipes, particularly those made of stainless steel, requires precise control to prevent cracks or deformation.
Over 20 years’ experience in the field of tube bending has resulted in a wide range of bending tools for various tube diameters and bending radii.
With a total of 19 bending machines, we cover the bending of tubes with diameters ranging from 8 to 150 mm.
In addition, we have a right/left-hand bending machine, which is primarily used in confined spaces and where high precision is required.
Thanks to expertise gained from motorsport, we have already bent tubes with a bending radius of 0.8 times the tube diameter, enabling a tube route without additional weld seams in confined spaces.
