Swaging solid material 20mm

The swaging of solid material up to 20mm diameter and more is done at Schmale with servo-electric presses as a process of hot forming. The wire is heated by induction and automatically transported by the transfer to the swaging presses. The servo presses move and ensure the deformation of the wire. This may be done in several steps, such as on this special machine for the production of items for the building industry.
As one of the leading manufacturers of modular, automated systems for the forming of wire, pipe and strip, we combine and install aggregates for all industrial forming processes on one machine.

Swaging of solid material - the technologies

When swaging solid material, new workpieces are formed from solid metal parts. It is a central forming process in industrial metalworking. When swaging solid material as well as swaging pipes, the mass of the workpiece is maintained while the height is reduced. In industrial manufacturing, wire and other metal parts are compressed in various, sometimes highly complex, operations to produce a wide variety of components such as axles, drive shafts, transmission shafts, handlebars, etc. The possibilities for compressing solid material are very broad: Depending on the specific requirements of the workpiece, very different results and levels of complexity can be achieved. The swaging of solid material has advantages over other manufacturing processes. Here is the first material savings to call. When swaging solid material, components are formed without overspilling: there are no material edges that need to be separated and recycled. The use of materials is optimized by means of such a production process. Furthermore, components that have been produced by compression of solid material, a very high stability, safety and longevity on. The homogeneous fiber flow of the components and the absence of welds or other joining methods are further advantages that brings the swaging of solid material with it.

Swaging of solid material with machines from Schmale

Schmale Maschinenbau GmbH's innovative production facilities for wire, pipe and strip combine different manufacturing processes. Both the newly developed SPEEDMAX from Schmale and the machines from the X2000 series can integrate the swaging of solid material into a complex production process. Special machines, which are designed precisely for a specific production situation, are also suitable for the swaging of solid material in the context of an individualized production process. If the swaging of solid material is desired by a customer, Schmale first analyzes its specific production situation and then develops the optimal production system. High value is placed in the design on expandability and energy efficiency of the machines. Thus, the swaging of solid material can be integrated into the intelligent automation of different technologies. The customer receives a modern, sustainable and energy-efficient machine, which is designed exactly for his requirements.
