One die instead of two or three: forming on several Z levels

After forming, Bean Force releases at zero force and the press continues its stroke: the same die can perform several forming operations at different Z levels.

More dies, more costs

When a part requires forming in different directions or at different heights, two or three dies in sequence are often needed, with the associated tooling, set-up and handling costs.

Zero-force release, the stroke continues

Bean Force clamps and forms the sheet; then the module releases at zero force and the press continues its stroke towards the next stage. This makes it possible to carry out more forming in one die instead of 2-3 dies.

FAQs

How can a die work on several Z levels?

Because after forming the multiplier releases at zero force and the press can continue its stroke.
