The innovative Sükosim® Sheet Metal Forming Technology combines extrusion, deep drawing and cold-forming in the production of complex, high strength structural components. If necessary specific, localised material thickening of the sheet metal can increase wall thickness to double the original size. The mechanical strength of deep drawn tubes is significantly increased by thickening of material and also through work hardening.
- Integrated internal or external threaded fastening points in a single component
- Material can be formed in such a manner that material thickness is removed from areas where strength is not critical, and increased in the areas where it is needed
- Components which require several different threaded fasteners can now be replaced by one single component
- Strength property class 10 can be achieved
- Future thread re-tapping, for service purposes is possible
Steel & aluminium sheet metal from 1.5mm to 3.0mm thick can be processed. This is the raw material thickness, it is possible to thicken/reduce localised areas of components as required.
Elimination of Welding Operations
With this technology it is no longer necessary to use weld nuts in an assembly. Therefore it is possible to dramatically reduce welding operations, or even eliminate them completely from assembly.
- Reduces the number of points where the likelihood of corrosion is high
- No sparks or smoke as with welding (environmentally friendly)
- Elimination of weld chips or spatter
