Air Bending for Airboats
|
From Pacific Press Technologies, L.P.
This growing company began to outgrow their old facilities. Additionally they needed to find improved productivity to increase boat output. To produce their 30' airboat/ they were forced to splice together two sheets of aluminum to build the hull, adding several hours of welding to these larger boats. They needed new fabricating equipment. Products & Services
Industrial presses use a ram to shear, punch, form or assemble metal or other material by means of cutting, shaping, or combination dies attached to slides. Examples include die cutting machines, forming and bending machines, punch presses, shop presses, sheet metal equipment, stamping presses, and wire forming machines.

Hydroforming equipment uses fluid pressure to form tubular ferrous or nonferrous materials to the shape of a die. Hydroforming allows for severe shape deformation and generally produces strong parts of uniform thickness.
