Axial Forming Forming an external spline on a tube
Axial Forming Forming an internal spline inside a tube
Axial Forming FEM stress analysis: red: tension blue: pressure
Axial Forming Examples of applications: Expanding Reducing Profile forming
Axial Forming Examples of applications: Spline forming (internal and external) Upsetting Flanging
Axial Forming Highlights: • tight tolerances – very small pitch errors axial forming of splines possible also on thin walled tubular components • excellent surface quality, little roughness • block teeth and missing teeth possible • short cycle times (for example 5 seconds) • low tooling costs / high tooling performance (approx. 50.000 pcs. and greater) • cold formed part / possibility of taking advantage of hardness increase • homogenous internal stress distribution / little deformation during heat treatment
Axial Forming Examples of applications: shafts with involute splines

Axial Forming • Range of machines: • Forming force: up to 1000 kN • Diameters: up to 200 mm • Forming stroke: up to 1000 mm • Forming speed: up to 50 mm/s • Power: up to 100 kW Base machine withoud feeding or handling device
Axial Forming Automatic Transfer line: This modular design allows interlinking of multiple machines generating a linear transfer line. This kind of machine enables combined integration of several different manufacturing processes.
Axial Forming Cycle time: High speed forming machine for steering components. Cycle time: 6 seconds!
Axial Forming Multiple die slide: Allows multiple consecutive operations without unclamping the workpiece
