Multi-stage press
A multi-stage press is a forming machine used to produce components in several successive forming stages. The workpiece is automatically transported from one forming stage to the next and gradually shaped into the desired geometry. At MN Kaltformteile, up to six forming stages are possible.
By combining several forming steps during a continuous manufacturing process, even complex component geometries can be produced with high productivity and consistent quality.
Multi-stage press for complex component geometries
When manufacturing complex cold-formed parts, the desired geometry cannot always be achieved in a single forming stage. On a multi-stage press, the required change in shape is therefore distributed across several coordinated forming stages. The workpiece is automatically transported from stage to stage and gradually shaped into its final geometry.
At MN Kaltformteile, up to six forming stages are possible. The combination of several forming operations in a continuous manufacturing process enables the cost-effective production of complex components in high volumes.
To monitor the process, the forming forces involved are measured. For MN Kaltformteile, this is achieved using piezo sensors at each forming stage. This enables deviations from the defined process to be detected and monitored.
