Unique technology
Hydrogate™ is our proprietary technology, which advances classical hydroforming to a continuous process by a highly innovative press concept. Utilizing hydrostatic pressure, Hydrogate™ offers a strong alternative to the traditional forming processes such as a deep drawing, by producing challenging geometries with low residual stress resulting in very flat plates. As a single step process, working from coil, Hydrogate™ offers repeatable quality, attractive turnaround times, low tooling costs and high productivity.
