Rotary swaging: SUMMARY OF ADVANTAGES
Net-shape production
The achievable tolerances are extremely tight so that final machining is in most cases not required. This enables significant material savings and reduces the number of production stages, resulting in lower piece prices.
Broad applicability, significant weight savings
Rotary swaging can produce a multitude of different external and internal forms. Weight savings in the range of 30% - 50% can generally be achieved by rotary swaging versus conventional production methods.
High product quality
The uninterrupted grain flow of the material together with the work hardening resulting from the process increases the strength of the workpiece. The quality of swaged surfaces is at the level of ground surfaces.
High forming ratios, material freedom
Rotary swaging achieves high forming ratios without requiring hot forming. The favorable distribution of stresses during forming and the homogenous course of processing permit the forming of even brittle materials.
Cold and hot forming
Rotary swaging forms materials in the cold, semi-hot and hot temperature range.
Environmental acceptability
Unlike many other forming processes, rotary swaging does not require any surface treatment on the blank. The oil, if required, is in a closed cycle.
Versatility
Rotary swaging machines have short change-over times. The swaging dies and the machine setting can be changed within a few minutes.
Short production times high efficiency
The construction of rotary swaging machines permits combination of several processing modules for efficient multi-station transfer lines so that net-shape parts can be produced with high outputs. The robust easy to maintain construction ensures high efficiency rates.
