Precision Stretch Flanging Machine - AI Enhanced Fabrication

Unlocking next-generation efficiency and shaping excellence in industrial forming with integrated stretching and flanging solutions.

In recent years, the global metal forming and fabrication industry is experiencing a rapid transformation, with automated and highly integrated solutions leading the market. According to the latest research by MarketsandMarkets, the metal forming market is expected to reach USD 269 billion by 2027 (CAGR of 3.6%). In this trend, the Stretching And Flanging Integrated Machine emerges as a core technology, enabling simultaneous deep drawing (stretching) and edge processing (flanging) in a unified workflow. Its adoption is most prevalent in sectors demanding high-precision, high-throughput, and cost-optimized forming solutions, e.g., petrochemical, metallurgy, municipal pipework, automotive, and energy.

Stretching And Flanging Integrated Machine integrates advanced controls (PLC/servo), precision CNC machining, and automated quality checks. With stringent compliance to ISO and ANSI standards, it redefines performance, reducing secondary operations, lowering labor costs, and guaranteeing product uniformity.

Cutting-edge Stretching And Flanging Integrated Machine in production environment

Key Material & Process Highlights: The Stretching And Flanging Integrated Machine typically processes plates of SS304/316, duplex steels, and alloys up to thicknesses of 12mm. Utilizing a combination of forging, deep drawing, CNC trimming, and non-destructive testing, the machines comply strictly with ISO 9001, API, and ANSI standards, achieving over 8 million lifecycle operations (test-proven).
