Process Technology for Press Hardening
Process technology for smart press hardening and process-safe plant operation
Press hardening, where steel sheets are formed at extremely high temperatures, is a complex procedure requiring precise and continuous monitoring of various production variables such as temperature, transfer time, tool closing time, cooling time, and material properties. With our advanced process technology for press hardening and intelligent, interconnected process monitoring, the entire hot forming process can be visualized, controlled, and optimized in real time to ensure maximum efficiency, quality, and process safety.
Redesigning hot forming through Industry 4.0 and comprehensive monitoring of the press hardening process
Integration of SmartTools and Digital Process Monitoring
Our excellence in process technology for press hardening is based on the synergy of SmartTools and advanced digital process monitoring, enabling unprecedented precision and efficiency. We utilize various sensors at different process interfaces—from the marking station to the furnace, handling, press, and forming tool. These sensors collect data for automated analyses of temperature profiles, furnace times, metallurgical transformations, coating changes, and transfer times, ensuring seamless recording and real-time evaluation of each step from the raw blank to the hot-formed component.
