Tailored for automotive production
​
Builiding on its tradition of innovation, TFM developped this new and unique forming method that is perfectly adapted for tubes.Â
​
Compared to traditional Vaill end forming, Spline forming does not require a clamp block, therefore removing multiple constraints (e.g., clamping force of the block) and unlocking new forming possibilities.
​
Spline forming is most commonly deployed on multi-station fully automatic high volume production lines like those used in the automotive industry.
