Description
Forming Excellence: WF Maschinenbau is your development and systems partner for chipless metal forming.
Do you produce rotationally symmetric metal parts — wheels, drive and transmission components, precision tubes, pressure vessels, CNG and hydrogen cylinders, housings, nozzles or reflectors? WF Maschinenbau designs and builds the machines and complete production systems that form these parts without cutting; saving material, increasing strength and reducing weight.
We are more than a machine builder. In our own R&D Center we develop the right forming concept for your component, prove it on our machines, and deliver a series-ready, plug-and-play system. Manufacturers in Automotive, e-mobility, Aerospace, Hydrogen & Energy, Defence and Medical rely on WF Maschinenbau technology — some of them for over 30 years.
Our forming technologies:- Metal spinning — hollow bodies from a circular blank- Flow forming — high-strength, thin-walled parts, e.g. internally geared transmission components- Tube flow forming — precision tubes of unmatched wall-thickness accuracy- Necking-in — bases and necks for CNG and hydrogen cylinders- Patented hub forming — hubs on pulleys and gear parts
Why manufacturers choose WF Maschinenbau:- Up to 20% less material and weight — lower cost and CO₂- Higher strength and surface quality, near-net-shape, minimal machining- 24/7 reliability, 20-year spare-parts availability, up to 3-year warranty- A development partner from feasibility study to lifetime service
Not sure if your part can be formed — or whether it pays off? That's the best reason to talk to us. Send us your drawing or sample and our engineers will assess the forming potential and the business case, free of charge.
