overall quality of formed parts. The multi-channel closed loop control system is easily programmed to handle various sizes and materials. It also offers dynamic mode switching, which enables the user to switch between a variety of feedbacks such as force, position, internal pressure and other system variables. As a hydroforming partner, Interlaken’s engineers will develop, test, analyse, build samples and create tailored hydroformed parts, as well as searching for better and more cost-effective ways to solve problems. For over 35 years Interlaken Technology Corporation has been

equipment for hydroforming, elevated temperature forming, and hot stamping systems, has introduced a four- column hydroforming press system for running high-volume production parts. The high-volume hydroforming press system is available in clamp forces from 250 to 5,000 tons. Hydroformed parts are stronger and weigh less due to structural integrity and fewer welds or add-on pieces. Other benefits include elimination of secondary operations, reduced scrap, lower material and manufacturing costs, and increased design flexibility. With more control over forces and motions, Interlaken’s Hydroforming Press is claimed to provide a greater
