The 13th China CNC Machine Tool Exhibition CCMT 2024 was successfully held in Shanghai New International Expo Center last week. In this industry technology feast, Quintus with its cutting-edge Flexform™ hydroforming technology, became a highlight of the exhibition. During the exhibition, the Quintus booth was crowded with people, attracting many visitors to stop for consultation and in-depth communication with the Quintus team. In particular, the sheet metal forming Product Manager from Sweden was enthusiastic to introduce the unique features and significant benefits of Quintus Flexform™ technology.

Combination of low cost and high efficiency

IS200JPDDG1AAA Benefits of the Flexform™ molding process

Flexform™ is a high-pressure hydroforming process known as flexible forming because it uses a flexible rubber diaphragm between the pressure medium and the formed sheet. Its mold cost is low, delivery time is short, is mainly used in small batch production and prototype production. This innovative technology not only solves the pressure medium sealing problem in traditional hydraulic forming, but also makes it easy to form plates with holes.

Quintus Flexform™ Hydroforming equipment requires only one and a half die to complete the forming process, with a flexible rubber diaphragm driven by hydraulic pressure on the top. As a result, the Flexform™ process can produce sheet metal products with more complex shapes at a lower cost than traditional molds. In addition, the Flexform™ process is advantageous in situations where part delivery requirements are very short, as mold construction and mold testing are simpler and faster than most other methods.

Optimal design flexibility

At the Quintus booth, visitors can explore up close the various types of Quintus Flexform™ hydroforming equipment, which can reduce mold costs by up to 90% and production cycles by more than 50%, while providing flexibility in product design. Many visitors also witnessed the parts molded using Quintus Flexform™ technology and expressed high appreciation for their precision and complexity.

In addition, Quintus showed visitors the comprehensive range of application support services that it can offer users to help them better design and optimize their production processes, ensuring that even complex parts can produce high quality results efficiently.
