Tooling
Quality tools and well-tested concept
AP&T offers quality tools for forming most metal products, and the company has developed its own, well-tested tooling concept for press hardening, ventilation, roof drainage and heat exchanger plates. AP&T's world-leading position in press hardening is largely based on the company’s tools for advanced hot forming. We supply tooling for the manufacture of all types of press hardened car parts.
Tool testing and pre-production of press hardened parts
Our Tech Center in Ulricehamn allows us to simulate and test materials and measurement equipment to ensure a faultless final result of the finished product. Amongst other things, the Tech Center has a complete and fully automated press hardening line for demonstrations, test manufacturing and pre-production, and it is designed on the basis of real production conditions. We can also help you with production there.
