Internal Flow-Turning - An Innovative Technology for the Manufacture of Tailored Tubes

In order to optimise the material utilisation and improve the lightweight design of automotive parts tailored hollow profiles are needed, especially as semi-finished parts for hydroforming. Internal Flow-Turning is an innovative incremental forming technology which enables the manufacture of tubes featuring a varying wall thickness and a constant outer diameter. These characteristics facilitate the material feed at hydroforming processes significantly. In addition, the spinning-related forming technology improves the mechanical material properties, shape and dimensional accuracy, and the surface quality of parts produced.
