Fineblanking and Feinforming.
SFBT's core technologies deliver the highest achievable precision, even on the most complex and three-dimensional component geometries .
PRECISION
The finest cut. The most precise form.
Advanced fineblanking and forming technologies for high-precision components, combining superior edge quality, complex geometries and exceptional dimensional accuracy while reducing manufacturing steps and optimising production costs.
Fineblanking
The most economical, high-quality, and productive way to optimize your production — combining multiple processing steps in a single press stroke.
Forming
Our forming technology is actively shaping the future of fuel cells and electrolyzers with precision at the thinnest material thicknesses while our orbital cold forming process allows to produce precision cold-formed components.
FINEBLANKING
High-volume production, taken further.
From an annual demand of just 30,000 parts, fineblanking drives maximum efficiency and lowers price-per-piece — running up to 200 strokes per minute while combining several processing steps into one.
Economical
Cost-effectiveness at its finest. The higher the volume and the more processes fineblanking replaces or integrates, the greater the economic advantage.
Precise
Clean, right-angled, cut- and tear-free surfaces with zero-error tolerance — no post-processing of contours required.
Productive
Intelligent tool concepts and multiple processing steps in a single press stroke deliver unrivaled productivity on every project.
Effective
Optimizing the use of resources and raw materials.
FORMING
Precision, powering the future of energy.
By processing the thinnest material thicknesses with precision, forming saves weight and volume — allowing a more compact fuel cell stack while increasing power density, and paving the way for powerful, compact vehicle drives.
In close collaboration with our tooling partners, we are able to develop an integrated manufacturing process in precision, dimensional accuracy and component optimisation. Our technology enables the efficient production of bipolar plates for PEM and SOFC fuel cells, electrical interconnections and solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOEC).
Forming enables extremely thin material thicknesses with minimal tolerances. Our customized press unlocks new potential for cutting costs and increasing efficiency.
Engineering
Consistent channel height homogeneity with no fluctuation in material thickness, and precisely positioned reference points for laser welding.
Reduction
Cutting geometries integrated directly into the tool, with a dedicated transfer system, for fewer production steps.
Customized Press Solutions
The seamless integration of press technology and tooling delivers outstanding precision, optimal performance and maximum efficiency, even in the most demanding forming applications.
Minimal tolerances
Extremely thin material thicknesses processed with precision, optimizing material use and design implementation.
