WSHK Mechanical Upsetter

MECHANICAL UPSETTERS Technological leadership - powerful results

The WSHK is a double-acting mechanical upsetter which applies the upsetting force in a horizontal direction. Due to its three-split tool design, parts with complex geometries and undercuts can be seamlessly manufactured. As a result, the machine can be compared to “full-fledged” forging presses for some parts. Because of renewed customer demand SMS group has redesigned its widely renowned upsetters.
