Hydroforming.
We are the specialists.
Internal high-pressure forming (hydroforming) is a methodology for the manufacture of hollow metal components - a process that has grown enormously since the mid-1990s. There are numerous applications for customers in both the automotive and the non-automotive sectors.
In hydroforming, tube and pre-forms are expanded from the inside out by means of a liquid working medium in a closed die. This method makes it possible to manufacture hollow components with a complex external shape and especially favorable strength properties.
As a systems supplier with customers all over the world, Schuler supports users in the hydroforming field with a wide range of products and services. These range from initial feasibility studies to the manufacture of prototypes and volume production up to the delivery of complete turnkey manufacturing systems.
In addition to Schuler Hydroforming in Wilnsdorf, Germany, Schuler Hydroforming in Detroit, Michigan, was added in 2002 to the roster of Schuler Group companies. Now companies in NAFTA countries can count on on-site expert support - especially during the engineering and prototyping phases of a project. This facility was designed to better serve our customers with an interest in manufacturing by hydroforming.
