| Impulses for better splines |
 |
 |
|
Increasing demand for the precision of male and female splines demonstrate the limitations of traditional processes like rolling, rack-rolling, broaching and hobbing. Economy, reliability and simple operation are also good reasons for hydraulic forming.

| Field of Application and advantages: |
 |
 |
|
