GAZ Group Introduce New Flexform System
The Russian GAZ Group introduce Flexform Processing at its facility in Nichny Nogorod. A new 1000 bar press from Avure Technologies will be used for prototyping and low volume fabrication of sheet metal parts. In the Flexform hydroforming technology, sheet metal is formed over one rigid, shape-defining tool half by a flexible rubber diaphragm supported by high hydraulic pressure. The use of a single tool half results in short lead times, low tool costs, fast try-out and easy tool modification after component design cahnges.
