The Triform Model 20-10-10BD 10,000psi deep-draw sheet-hydroforming press features a 20″ diameter maximum blank size and a 10″ draw-depth capacity.

With cycle times of less than 30 seconds and an integrated quick tool change system, the compact deep draw press allows manufacturers to form large parts within a relatively small footprint and without altering their facility’s foundation.

Precision diaphragm pressure and punch position control, combined with built-in recipe handling capability, offers increased forming proficiency. For new part development, the 20-10-10BD features Triform’s In-Sight feature, which allows the press to be paused and opened at any point in the forming cycle to allow for a visual inspection. The machine’s structure features a horizontal layout for a reduced footprint and ease of maintenance. The 20-10-10BD can be configured to utilize the majority of existing 20″ deep-draw hydroform tooling.
