Services

Precision and quality are our trademarks – this was already the case over 100 years ago and will also remain so in the future. Modern applications have become more diverse and the demands for quality and production speed have risen considerably. Understanding complex tasks and producing intricately built parts requires us to think and act in a flexible manner. We naturally always listen attentively to the wishes and requirements of our customers.

We produce massive formed parts as drop forge parts from steel on various different presses. In the process, we cover the entire value added chain from CAD design, toolmaking, material separation, forging, heat treatment and finishing through to the mechanical processing of the individual forged parts.

Construction/toolmaking

Our comprehensive technical know-how and long-standing sector experience make us your powerful partner for the planning, development and construction of forming dies. Our modern CAD and simulation systems offer a diverse range of possibilities for the production of tools and fixtures.

We would be pleased to advise and support you – especially in the planning of new developments.

Drop forge parts

BEW produces drop forge parts out of steel on 6 press lines in the following weights and dimensions:

Press force	Weight	Dimensions
10,000 kN	up to 4 kg	up to Ø 120 mm
16,000 kN	up to 9 kg	up to Ø 155 mm
30,000 kN	up to 32 kg	up to Ø 215 mm
50,000 kN	up to 35 kg	up to Ø 290 mm

Heat treatment

We can carry out all of the following heat treatments on the forged parts at our own company.

Quenching and tempering
Isothermal annealing
Stress-free annealing
Soft annealing
Normal annealing
Solution annealing
B4 annealing from the forge heat
+P precipitation hardening (formerly BY-treatment)

Mechanical processing

We handle the further processing of products for many customers because outsourcing preliminary stages in the production process simplifies the work and saves money. After the forging blanks have been finished, we carry out the mechanical processing of the products.

Modern CNC machines are then used to process the products according to the specifications of our customers. This involves turning and milling operations, as well as drilling, rubbing and thread cutting processes. Complete processing is possible at all times on the turning and milling centres. Our wide range of production processes enables subsequent further processing or the direct fitting of the finished parts.

Processing options:

Process	Weight	Dimensions
CNC turning	up to 14 kg	up to Ø 280 mm
CNC milling	up to 30 kg	Dependent on the clamping position
Drilling	--	up to Ø 65 mm
