Hydraulic Ring Expanders
Triform Ring Expansion Systems are used in aerospace forming facilities to produce strong , symmetrical , ring-shaped parts for turbine engines . The ring expansion process minimizes material thinning and eliminates the stress point issues associated with traditional rolling and machining . Rings can be made from a variety of high-strength materials including Inconel , Hastelloy and Titanium , among others .
From jaw diameter , height and travel to tonnage capacity and controls , every Triform ring expander is fully customizable to ensure your machine perfectly fits your forming operation . Additionally , our easyto-use controls platform offers precision programmability and recipe functionality , so process repeatability is a breeze .
Hot Joggle Presses Many aerospace parts including stiffeners , stringers , ribs , firewall assemblies , webs , formers , and covers require
joggles to ensure proper overlap during assembly . Traditionally , this secondary operation has been performed by hard-to-find skilled ‘ artisans ’ who manually hammer each bend into place .
Triform brings accuracy and repeatability to the joggle forming process with custom machinery that precisely controls the force , angle , and direction of every bend . By eliminating the need for handfinishing , our customers experience reduced scrap rates and improved process efficiency . Additionally , by adding supplementary equipment such as heated platens , customers are able to expand their product lines to include high-strength alloys .
Supplemental Technologies to Enhance Productivity
• All press structures engineered for
‘ Infinite Life ,’ using FEA design software
