Hot forming of aluminum lines
The AP&T aluminum hot forming line combines industry-leading presses, automation, furnace technology, tooling, and line control into one optimized production system. Designed for maximum productivity, uptime, and energy efficiency, the line delivers consistent part quality, rapid product changeovers, and low lifecycle costs. Complete process control enables efficient production of lightweight, high-strength aluminum components that support weight reduction, enhanced crash performance, corrosion resistance, and full recyclability.
About the product
Line layouts adapted to your needs
We deliver scalable, fully integrated production lines where furnaces, presses, and automation operate as one optimized system. From entry-level setups to full-capacity lines, solutions can be expanded with trimming presses, stacking, washing, and aging, ensuring flexible layouts, high uptime, and efficient performance regardless of production volume.
Process know-how
We collaborate closely with customers to evaluate all relevant technical parameters covering line design, energy, materials, tooling, and lubrication to develop optimized production solutions. With more than 150 press hardening lines and multiple aluminum hot forming lines delivered, we bring deep expertise across the full process, from blank to finished part.
In-house process verification ensures early validation of materials and process conditions. Key parameters such as furnace temperature, heating time, transfer time, press force, quenching, and cooling are carefully optimized. Supported by strong tooling experience, simulation, and material knowledge, we ensure stable, high-quality results. Early collaboration with product design teams is essential to achieve optimal component performance.
