Hydroform Tube Processing Machine Upgrade with SMART Hydraulic Actuators

Challenge: A Tier-1 Automotive Chassis System manufacturer had to re-tool a Hydroforming line to accommodate a new model design change. The new line required the flexibility to produce both the current OEM product and the new product at higher volumes. As a requirement for the new machine design, the manufacturer wanted to eliminate the messy and inefficient hydraulic system used in the old...
