Siempelkamp: Innovative concept for the hot forming of press-hardened components for the automobile industry

Press with optimized ram design and drive

At EuroBLECH 2014 in Hannover, Germany, Siempelkamp will present its innovative concept for the hot forming of press-hardened components. As a turnkey provider, the Krefeld mechanical engineering company supplies complete press lines including the required automation technology as well as process monitoring. According to the material flow and space conditions, the press line can be adapted to the customer“s requirements.

The heart of a press line is Siempelkamp“s innovative hydraulic press. Based on an analysis of the process requirements, a new machine concept was developed for the hot forming of press-hardened components. The homogeneous pressure distribution ensures higher quality and an increased output quantity of press-hardened parts. Furthermore, the press concept is characterized by increased process reliability and low tooling costs. Customers save money with the cost-efficient hydraulic drive system which was specially tailored to the press-hardening process.

From the blank loader, to the feeding of the furnace, to the automation of the downstream processes, press lines are fully automated. Furthermore, the Siempelkamp subsidiary Strothmann – a market-leading company for material handling systems based on linear axes technology with more than 60 installed automation systems for hot forming facilities, supplies the complete component handling system.

Plate forming presses made by Siempelkamp

Siempelkamp also provides the suitable machine technology for other plate forming processes: Siempelkamp side member presses can be designed as a single-purpose press for the production of side members, multipurpose press for the manufacture of side members, cross members, bumpers and cabin parts or as a universal member press. Our presses incorporate the complete material handling system and increase production outputs through long tool life. Furthermore, these presses provide excellent automatic ram parallelism control during high eccentric loads as well as optimal shock-absorbing properties during blanking.

Siempelkamp“s heavy plate blanking presses allow the synchronized forming of plates with a thickness range between 2.5 and 12 mm. They are suited for the production of high-quality chassis, auto body parts and add-on parts for commercial vehicles such as cross members, gusset plates and reinforcements. Combined with our flexible and high-performing material handling systems made by Strothmann, these presses offer the perfect solution for the manufacture of high-quality automobile parts. Siempelkamp“s heavy plate blanking presses are equipped with inclined position monitoring, an eightfold moving beam guiding system, a tool clamping system, and infinitely variable ram locking. The belt conveyor is integrated into the press control. Efficient drive systems ensure short cycle times. Furthermore, these press systems are equipped with hydraulic blanking stroke limitation with active cutting impact dampening.
