SMART HOT FORMING FOR A PROCESS-SAFE Production

Hot forming, which shapes steel sheets at high temperatures, is a complex process that requires precise monitoring of many production variables such as temperature, transfer time, tool closing time, or cooling time. With our smart process monitoring, the entire hot forming process can be visualized, controlled, and optimized in real-time.

Revolutionizing Hot Forming Through Industry 4.0 and Comprehensive Process Monitoring


Integration of SmartTools and Digital Process Monitoring


Our process technology excellence is based on the synergy of SmartTools and advanced Digital Process Monitoring, enabling unmatched precision and efficiency in the hot forming process. We utilize an array of sensors at various process interfaces – from the marking station, through the roller hearth furnace, to handling, press, and forming tool. These sensors collect data that allow for fully automatic analyses of temperature profiles, furnace times, metallurgical transformations, coating changes, and transfer times, as well as temperatures during forming and cooling.

Every step of the press hardening process, from the raw blank to the hot-formed component, is seamlessly recorded and evaluated in real time.
