While hot forming machine tools (hammers, screw presses) use high kinetic energy for the metal forming, where part of this energy is dissipated into the ground causing there rather high vibration levels, however, in case of the cold forming process it is the sudden release of the stresses - built up in the press frame during the pressing operation - when cutting through the material (blanking).
In both cases GERB can provide special Spring-Viscodamper® combinations, which allow today direct spring support of the equipment whereas in the past quite massive foundations were necessary.
