Forming Technology

Systems for finishing of components of steel and aluminium sheets, or plastics. Typical applications are hole punching, marking or joining operations, which are required as additional processing steps in the manufacture of the finished component. The forming forces thus generated are between ca. 1 to 100 kN.

We have been working in these fields of application for over 15 years with a focus on body panels. We are in a position to resort to a large pool of experience, in particular with respect to customised solutions.

Whether manual clamp, stationary clamp or robotic clamp – we create a suitable solution for every forming process.

Toggle Lever Technology

We supply a very large product range of C-frame systems and toggle-joint clamps in X-design as forming tools.

Stamping

Stamping, scribe and stylus marking systems for component identification.

Piercing

With more than 1 000 applications for serial production, TÜNKERS offers a large potential of experience with piercing and hole-punching clamps for steel and aluminium sheet components. Piercing operations – even under the hardest conditions – form tasks which we realise by means of the compact toggle-joint clamps and C-frame systems with pneumatic, hydraulic or pneumohydraulic drives especially developed for this forming process.

Joining

Clinching is the alternative to resistance spot welding as a joining procedure for sheet components. Non-weldable materials such as coated and varnished metal sheets, combinations of steel and aluminium and pairings can be joined easily and safely via intermediate layers subject to comparable resistance.
