Rusevelt Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 A bit too radical in design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave33 Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Precision Forming Precise tolerances can be achieved to form parts with extremely difficult configurations. Hydroforming can even complete airtight fits on mating parts and has enhanced dimensional precision through a reduction in spring back. Reduced Work-Hardening Material tensile strength is maintained for a longer period of time on a hydroform application when comparing to conventional drawing applications Better Process Control Hydroforming improves part quality, efficiency and reduces rejection rates. Broken parts, due to applying too much pressure, and wrinkling (not enough pressure) are easily eliminated with simple pressure adjustment to the hydraulic chamber. The flexible female diaphragm applies less forming pressure at the beginning of the cycle, with incremental pressure increases during the stroke. This reduces the stress during the critical phase of the process. Versatility in Forming Complex Geometric Shapes and Contours For conventional systems to produce high quality parts, tool alignment must remain extremely accurate with little variation. During the hydroforming process, matching dies are not required. A single operation can form stepped, irregular shaped parts that would require multiple steps with traditional press operations Reduced Work-Hardening Material tensile strength is maintained for a longer period of time on a hydroform application when comparing to conventional drawing applications.

Mark W Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Ctrl C, Ctrl V. Be good to see if they actually start producing their own hydroformed tubing designs rather than just picking some hydroformed tubes that look cool and putting them in a frame. Some of Rockman's frames have been pretty nice so they've got the potential, they just need to go through with it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
