Hydroforming with pressure dome makes the impossible possible. It provides the ability to form complex shaped parts, almost impossible to produce by conventional means. The working principle is based on creating a pressure in a medium (fluid) in an enclosed chamber.
The process utilizes the characteristics of the fluid always applying pressure perpendicular to the material.
At the same time a blank holding force is applied in the tool. The AP&T range of pressure dome hydroforming products consists of:
External unit HMU, placed on the press bed in a stationary press.
Hydroforming Press HMD, were the punch is activated from below and the pressure chamber is placed in the slide.
