Volumetric metal forming
Metal forming includes shaping methods such as forging, pressing and extrusion. It has found wide application in the production of components for many industries. These include, for example, the automotive, aerospace, shipbuilding, railway, oil and gas industries. We provide comprehensive services for these methods with numerous industrial implementations, research and development work and patents.

Forging tools
We design forging tools for shaping on presses. We have extensive experience in designing forging tools for die and semi-free shaping. In addition, we have a fully developed range of proprietary PKJ tools that enable local upsetting of a bar positioned horizontally. Our tools are characterized not only by high precision, but also by strength and durability, making them the ideal choice for mass production.j.
We automate metal forming processes
This includes the automation of forging processes on presses. It may concern newly designed technology or existing technology. The stations we design meet all pre-determined performance and safety parameters. Metal forming is becoming easier!
Our Center for Sustainable Economy has an automated forging station that enables single-sided and double-sided shaping of indentations, thickened sections, and heads at the ends of rods with a maximum diameter of up to 25 mm and lengths ranging from 405 mm to 1005 mm.
The automated forging station consists of the following components: an eccentric press with a self-clamping forging device, a comb feeder for feed bars, two induction heaters, a robot, and a buffer/storage unit for cooling the forged head. Robotization has doubled productivity compared to manual forging.
Workstation design based on Industry 4.0
Design of dedicated machinery and equipment
According to customer requirements. We design stand-alone machines, prepare full technological lines, as well as incorporate the designed machines into existing technological lines.
Our machines are CE safety certified
Dedicated test equipment and testers are also in the scope of our activities. They are developed based on the testing requirements for the item to be tested and the parameters that must be recorded during testing.
Production-laboratory station with expanded capabilities for recording parameters of the ring rolling process (patent application no. 437863)
Finite element method (FEM) analyses
We design and verify shaping technologies. We have dedicated software for numerical simulations, using the finite element method. They allow us to design technologies, optimize and eliminate possible defects, for example, in the form of material discontinuities. We offer numerical testing in the elastic range, as well as flow analysis.
Production orders – a special offer for you!
We have an experienced staff of engineers and press operators, capable of completing the order on both our forging instruments and those entrusted from the customer. In the absence of a suitable tool, we will design and implement production according to customer guidelines.
We realize small and large series orders
Our machinery includes: eccentric presses, deep drawing press, hydraulic presses, CNC milling machines, sinker and wire EDM machines.
