Beckwood installs deep-draw sheet hydroforming press at Kreisler Mfg.

Beckwood Press Co., a St. Louis-based manufacturer of configurable hydraulic presses, has built and installed a Triform deep-draw sheet hydroforming press for Kreisler Mfg. Corp., a global engineering and manufacturing services provider serving the aerospace, military, and industrial sectors.

The press features a 16-in.-dia. forming area, 10,000 PSI of forming pressure, and a 7-in. draw-depth capacity to facilitate Kreisler’s production of aircraft and aerospace engine parts. The in-house forming capability gained with the addition of the press is part of a larger company expansion, which includes a new manufacturing facility and the increased use of in-house 3-D printing for the production of sheet hydroforming tools.
