AWS Schäfer Technologie GmbH products

AWS Schäfer can provide you with induction-bending machines with the correct machine design for any bending requirements you may have, even three-dimensional bending. Our machines are known for high-productivity hot forming appropriate for the materials used, optimised tolerances and low-maintenance operation. They also cater for small bending radii, complex geometries and reduced bending temperatures, as well as for compound materials.

AWS Schäfer offers pipe-calibration machines for bi-metal, cladded and plated pipes. Pipe production involves combining two different pipe materials - a ferritic outer pipe and an austenitic inner pipe - using internal pressure and a special tool. A closed tool is used to ensure that the pipes produced meet the highest possible requirements with regard to their diameter, circularity and straightness tolerances. This production process for mechanically plated pipes delivers clear cost advantages in comparison with the production of solid pipes or metallurgically plated pipes. The tried and trusted high-pressure forming centres at AWS Schäfer are also used for the calibration of ovalised pipes. At the same time, AWS Schäfer`s pipe-calibration machines give you the option of carrying out pressure tests on the finished product directly after expansion, using the machine while the tool is open.

We offer you expert advice and our extensive know-how in hydroforming technology. AWS Schäfer has decades of experience in the development and production of hydroforming machines that are eminently suitable for the production of complex geometries with a very good contouring and repeat accuracy. Internal high-pressure forming is a process in which a pipe or pipe blank is formed by pressing it into two successive engraved tools, using an active fluid medium. This process is not only suitable for forming pipe blanks, but is also used for sheet forming - a process known as external high-pressure forming.

AWS Schäfer offers various machines for processing pipe ends. The SRE pipe end expander is a hydraulically operated machine that is used to calibrate ovalised pipe ends for straight pipes and pipe elbows. During this process, the pipe ends are expanded, resulting in optimal weld seam preparation.

AWS Schäfer has a long tradition of special machine construction you can rely on. We have been producing machines for pipe manufacturing and pipe forming for over 50 years and their worldwide use on a daily basis speaks volumes.
