Hill Engineering ships 3 Flying Hydraulic Press and Die Cutoff Systems


Hill Engineering / Formtek, Inc has recently shipped three flying, hydraulic press / die cutoff systems to a tier two automotive facility in the Midwest (United States).

The dies are designed to cutoff  automotive seat frame sections that were roll formed and welded.
In addition to the cutoff process, the systems form tabs with a trailing hydraulic form station, thus eliminating costly secondary operations.

Hill Engineering / Formtek, Inc's quick change cutting insert design minimize changeover time, and allow any of the three dies to be used on any of the six separate profiles that this project is comprised of.

Working with the customer, and the design of the parts Hill Engineering / Formtek designed the compact Press / Die systems so they can easily be re-tooled at a minimal cost after this current program ends and used for future projects.

Let Hill Engineering / Formtek, Inc's 60 plus years of experience in the roll forming industry benefit you.
