This is how our pliers are given their

shape: hot and under high pressure

Forging as a forming process is an old cultural technique and continues to
hold fascination today With an impact of up to Ƃve tonnes, the yellow
glowing piece of steel is pounded in the upper and lower die at a temperature
of 1, 0ŒC This gives it its basic shape and simultaneously a well compacted
structure

The production of the forging die in our toolmaking works requires a great
deal of experience and high precision, as this raw component will be crucial
to the subsequent quality of the pliers The contours of the forged component
are milled at processing centres in the hardened and high strength die block

Forging die for the high leverage diagonal cutters with forged-in axle.
