Metal forming

Deep drawing, bending, punching and sheet straightening: Durendus presses form metal into complex geometries with consistent dimensional accuracy and structural integrity.

The process

Controlling material tension at every stage.

Deep drawing forms sheet metal into hollow, seamless geometries where the part depth exceeds its diameter. The engineering challenge is managing the radial tension and tangential compression of the material to prevent wrinkling or tearing. Durendus presses use double or triple-action hydraulic systems with a dedicated hydraulic die cushion in the bed: the blank holder applies controlled force to the periphery of the sheet while the main ram drives the punch with a precise velocity profile, ensuring uniform wall thickness and minimal springback.

01
Deep drawing
Multi-point hydraulic cushion for complex geometries, uniform thickness and minimal springback.
02
Bending & forming
Adjustable pressure and stroke for repeatable bends across sheet thicknesses.
03
Punching
Fast, precise cycles with high-reliability hydraulic control.
04
Straightening
Curvature correction after laser or plasma cutting, on round and flat profiles.
