Press Hardening Lines

AP&T delivers complete press hardening lines to our customers such as companies in the automotive industry. Naturally, we utilize our vast experience in sheet metal forming to find the right press hardening solution for each application.

AP&T is a world leader when it comes to complete press hardening lines, where the entire process from blank feeding and heating to forming and ejection is run by the very same control system.

Press hardening is an excellent manufacturing method for vehicle parts that must be able to handle large deformation energies. It is also a competitive advantage for other parts where advanced geometries, high strength and low weight must work together. Some examples of press-hardened vehicle parts are bumpers, B-pillars, rear axles and tunnel reinforcements.
