Adiabatic Softening and the Spring Impact Press – A resovutionary production technology combination

$15.00

The phenomenon called ‘Adiabatic softening’ was discovered in the US during the 1940s, but until now it has only seen very limited use for industrial production.The Spring Impact Press is the only operational machine in the world with the ability to fully utilize adiabatic softening for cost-effective cropping, punching, coining and forming of blancs and components from cold metal so that all the normal problems in conventional cropping, such as cracks, burrs, angular variation, material loss, stresses and work hardening are virtually eliminated.
