Benefits of Sheet Metal Forming
Many companies, particularly in the aerospace market, use Flexform™ to form the majority of their sheet metal production parts. Fluid cell forming is perfectly suited to the relatively low-volume requirements of commercial, military and business aircraft. Quick cycle models can produce up to 120 parts per hour, and automated pallet systems can substantially improve efficiency in longer production runs.
Fluid cell forming has proven to have a number of economic and processing advantages, particularly when compared to rubber pad pressing and mechanical or hydraulic stamping.
A widely trusted technology
Quintus Technologies has designed, built and installed more than 200 Flexform™ fluid cell presses for major manufacturers worldwide, including Airbus, Ford, Boeing, Daimler-Benz, Bombardier, BMW, Embraer, and Volvo, along with a growing number of component suppliers to the aerospace and automotive industries.
Speed, versatility and inexpensive
Flexform™ is a versatile solution for the manufacturing of highly defined prototype components, particularly for industries where speed and lower costs are crucial in reducing time-to-market and staying globally competitive. The inexpensive prototype tool can also be used for parts production in low quantities for niche markets.
