Triform Sheet Hydroforming
Triform Sheet Hydroforming has advanced its Triform sheet hydroforming product line with the introduction of several new Deep Draw models. The 20-10-10BD, 25-10-12BD and 32-10-12BD models represent a tremendous amount of knowledge gained over the past decade of hydroforming press manufacturing and include several key advantages over other available forming equipment.
Improved Cycle Time: Updates to the pressure containment system have resulted in significantly improved cycle times while maintaining the same ‘Infinite Life’ structural standards to which every Beckwood / Triform press is manufactured. This ‘block design’ containment strategy has been in use by Triform for years, on their smaller 12” and 16” Deep Draw presses, as well as the full line of Fluid Cell presses.
Integrated Tool Change: Every new BD Deep Draw press comes equipped with Triform’s standard, efficient and ergonomic tool change system that will greatly reduce changeover times. A cartridge-style chamber is conveyed through the rear opening of the press, presenting the blank holder and punch to the operator. An optional t-table allows the operator to stage a secondary cartridge (including the blank holder and punch) for even faster tool changes. The system also allows the press to quickly convert from a Deep Draw configuration to a Fluid Cell configuration, for shallow forming without the need for a moveable punch tool.
Reduced Footprints: The new BD designs are configurable, giving the customer options for either a horizontal layout (with the hydraulic power unit positioned to the side of the forming chamber), or a vertical one, which features a crown-mounted HPU. For those whom floor space is a concern, the vertical configuration is significantly smaller than previous Triform models with the equivalent forming area.
In addition to these newly introduced advantages, the BD Triform models carry over the same unique benefits of the existing Triform Deep Draw models. These include precision pressure and position control with built-in recipe handling capability. Triform’s own ‘In-Sight’ feature, which allows the operator to pause and open the chamber, at any point in the cycle, for a visual inspection of the forming process, is also included as standard.
The new Triform BD models are also compatible with existing hydroforming tooling. With many manufacturers operating outdated hydroforming presses, manufactured decades ago by Cincinnati and other manufacturers, the seamless accommodation of existing tooling is critical.

The hydraulic press continues to be the press of choice for today's modern manufacturer.Our presses provide; Performance, Reliability, and Unlimited Versatility. This unrivaled versatility makes hydraulic presses ideal for Compression Molding, Hot Forming, Stamping, Punching, Blanking, Drawing, Bending and more.
A hydraulic press is powered by a hydraulic pump to a hydraulic cylinder or cylinders that drive the ram or slide. Hydraulic presses allow for job parameters such as travel distance or force and return position to be easily programmed. This allows a single press to effecitvely handle multiple tools across multiple applications. This flexibility yields a hydraulic press's greatest advantage.
