Near-net shape forming of tube material without welding.
GFU GmbH, founded in 1989, is a pioneer in molding technology and provides near-net-shape molding technology without welding, from thin-walled tube materials (hollow pipe materials) as a leading supplier worldwide. A single tube material is heated and shaped using various techniques such as high-speed end forming, upset forming, forging, and contraction/expansion. In the field of electric vehicles (EVs), it is possible to shape hollow rotor shafts, shock absorbers, pressure tanks, axle shafts, camshafts, etc., in a short time, contributing to weight reduction and a decrease in the number of parts. Additionally, GFU's molding technology accurately shapes not only the outer diameter of shafts but also the inner diameter, allowing for increased wall thickness of the material and thickening at intersections (90-degree bends) where strength is required, as well as the creation of flange shapes.
