Prototype & pre-series production
Development & validation for tube diameters up to 45 mm
Prototype & pre-series production - your reliable path to new tube forming geometries
1. Mastering today's challenges
With the increasing complexity of geometries, ever tighter tolerance specifications and shorter development cycles, the demands on tube forming technology are also increasing. Surprises during implementation cost time and money - especially when a new tube component or a new forming solution goes into series production.
At transfluid, we start early: In our prototyping department, components, tools and processes are tested in advance under real conditions - so that you go into pilot production and ultimately series production with reliable results.
2. Customized development - from the idea to series production
Our services at a glance:
- Development of new forming geometries and tool concepts specifically for your application - from material selection and process layout to fine adjustment.
- Testing and validation in our in-house test center: Axial forming machines with up to 25 t forming force and a CNC-controlled rolling forming machine enable tests up to a tube diameter of 45 mm.
- High-precision measuring technology (tactile and optical measuring methods) for exact measurement, documentation and approval of parts - from the tool sample to series production.
- Prototype production and pilot series - even without the customer's own machinery. We take on short-term production runs, allowing you to test and optimize your components in the process at an early stage.
3. Your advantages
- Risk minimization: Early validation ensures that the start of production and series production run go according to plan.
- Cost-optimized: By using our infrastructure, there is no need to invest in your own prototyping or pilot series facilities.
- Time advantage: Short prototyping cycles enable faster feedback and therefore shorter development times.
- Scalability: From the first prototype through pilot series to series production - we accompany you through all phases.
- Industry diversity: Whether shipbuilding and large tubes or filigree applications in medical technology and supply - we realize your requirements.
