Forming Technology & Machining
Precision in form and dimension – forming technology and machining from a single source
At Diehl Metal Forgings, we rely on state-of-the-art cold and hot forming processes to produce high-quality formed parts with the highest form, position and dimensional accuracy as well as optimal surface quality. Our versatile machinery and equipment enables (near) Netshape products, reduces material consumption and minimizes downstream processing steps.
- In hot forming, we produce parts from a few grams to 35 kg on fully automated forging systems from 100 t to 1,100 t, including heat and surface treatment. Complex hollow pressed parts, such as those required for water meter housings, are also part of our production spectrum.
- In cold forming, we implement sophisticated multi-stage processes such as punching, bending, upsetting and extrusion – both on progressive and transfer tools. Press forces of up to 8,000 kN enable the production of precise components from strip material or piece material.
- Thanks to state-of-the-art CNC machining with integrated measuring technology, we also offer the machining of our formed parts – even for special alloys such as lead-free or low-lead materials. Our globally uniform manufacturing standard guarantees the highest quality at all locations.
With forming technology and machining from a single source, we offer our customers economical, sustainable and technically excellent solutions – uniform and reliable worldwide.
