Previews
Sheet-Hydroforming Demonstrations
and Custom Hydraulic Presses
Beckwood Press Booth S4112
Beckwood Press Co., Fenton, MO, a manufacturer of custom hydraulic presses, automation systems and the Triform line of sheet- hydroforming presses, showcases its newest press technolo- gies. This year’s booth theme, “Work Smarter, Not Harder,” showcases Beckwood’s ability to solve difficult manufacturing chal- lenges. On hand are members of the Beckwood Solutions Team, who have more than 100 years of combined experience in form-
ing materials for a variety of industries, and can provide visitors with new ideas and recommendations to make their operations more efficient and productive.
The booth also features fluid-cell and deep-draw sheet-hydro- forming demonstrations using a Triform model 610-20-3SC. Tri- form hydroforming presses can form complex geometries that would be nearly impossible using traditional male/female tooling, according to Beckwood officials. Demonstrations show how hydroforming technology can help reduce manufacturing costs and improve overall part quality. www.beckwoodpress.com
