Bulge Forming Presses

Industrial Bulge Forming Hydraulic and Servo Presses

Turn complex designs into production-ready parts with unmatched dimensional accuracy and strength.

Macrodyne’s industrial bulge forming presses, which are available in hydraulic and servo configurations, deliver precision forming for complex sheet metal and tubular components using controlled fluid pressure.

Custom-engineered for aerospace, automotive, and other sectors, our presses deliver lightweight, high-strength components with precise form.

What is Bulge Forming?

Bulge forming, or hydroforming, uses internal water pressure to shape sheet metal. Pressure can be applied with low-pressure pumps, high-pressure intensifiers, or by compressing the part. The result is lightweight components with high structural integrity.

Custom Hydraulic Bulge Forming Press Solutions

Our hydraulic bulge forming presses can be designed with high-pressure or low-pressure water systems and precise control systems to ensure your custom parts meet expectations. A variety of custom options are available, including:

Performance Options

  • Intensifier units up to 30,000 psi – achieve the pressure required for demanding hydroforming jobs
  • Multi-axis feed cylinder assemblies – improve forming accuracy and flexibility
  • Hydraulic auxiliary functions – expand process capability for specialized applications

Automation & Efficiency

  • Quick die change packages – minimize downtime between runs
  • Data acquisition packages – track production metrics in real time

Monitoring & Maintenance

  • Remote diagnostics packages – enable faster troubleshooting and reduce service interruptions

Advanced Hydroforming for Complex Parts

Macrodyne’s bulge forming presses can manufacture both sheet and hollow components with complex geometries. In many cases, multiple components can be redesigned as a single piece, reducing or eliminating the need for secondary welding.

Bulge-formed parts can combine multiple components into a single piece, reducing or eliminating secondary welding. Thinner wall sections also mean parts can be lighter without sacrificing strength.
