Forming Industry

Efficiency in Metal Forming Technology

In metal forming technology, materials such as steel and sheet metal must be processed precisely, safely, and cost-effectively. Whether pressing, punching, rolling, bending, spinning, deep drawing, or forging—high forces shape the workpiece into the desired geometry, placing extreme demands on machinery and components.

Efficient Processes for a Competitive Edge

High-performance technology, reduced setup and production times, and reliable workflows are key factors in productivity and cost-efficiency. Minimizing downtime and boosting equipment performance secures a clear competitive advantage.

JAKOB Technology for Safe Forming Processes

Our robust and durable solutions help you executing forming processes safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively.

Torque-limiting safety couplings reliably protect machines against overload and consequential damage. They reduce downtime, increase machine availability, and thus directly boost production output.

Torsionally rigid, backlash-free metal bellows and distance couplings ensure precise and reliable torque transmission—even under demanding operating conditions and at temperatures up to 350°C.

Mechanical power clamping nuts and hydromechanical spring clamping cylinders allow you to achieve very high clamping forces quickly, easily, and conveniently. Ideal for the safe and efficient clamping of components such as press and stamping tools.

JAKOB – for efficient forming processes you can rely on.
