Driven by market demand for 'near net shape' and 'chipless' forming have become popular phrases. Today, R&D engineers increasingly consider these manufacturing technologies, despite the fact that most existing designs are historically conditioned and still of conventional origin.The swaging process is a forming method for reducing the cross section area of bars and tubular components, by using two or more surrounding dies, which apply radial forces to the workpiece. (According to DIN 8583).Franz Hofer* outlines a new precision swaging system based on CNC controlled radial forging.
