What awaits you with us
What you work with every day — the equipment, tasks and technology of this position.
Roll bending up to Ø 8,000 mm
You roll heavy plates up to 120 mm thick into cylinders, cones and shells — on one of four heavy 3-roll bending machines (Sertom up to Ø 8,000 mm, plus Davi, SMT-Pullmax and Wilhelmsburger).
Press braking up to 1,000 t pressing force
On two hydraulic press brakes — up to 1,000 t (Weinbrenner) over a 6,100 mm working width — you cold-bend large plates without a heat-affected zone and with homogeneous base material.
Springback under control
You master the forming behaviour of Hardox and fine-grain structural steel, correct the springback and hit tight radii and tolerances — forming remains a matter of experience here.
