Benefits
- High productivity
- Energy-efficient due to forging in just one heat
- Variable tool positioning
- Forming through to the core thanks to hydraulic drive concept with long stroke
- Fine, uniform microstructure over the whole cross-section
- High surface quality
- No core fusion thanks to freely selectable tool speed
- No tool changing for cross-section reductions from 6.25 to 11.0
- Short retooling times using quick die-change system
- Low wear and low maintenance
