Third party automotive industry brass deep-drawing: how we replaced the turning on a water pump valve body.

A automotive industry system major supplier entrusted us with the industrialization of a valve body for a water pump, which had previously been made by turning, by means of a brass deep-drawing. The objective was to reduce production costs without compromising the technical specifications of the component.

Co-design for automotive cold forming.

Through a co-design process, our technical department analysed the geometry of the component and simplified the design to make it compatible with  cold forming on a transfer  press, without altering its functionality.

The results of third party brass deep-drawing.

The solution resulted in more than 50% material savings compared to the original turning process and a significant increase in throughput.
