Akris Group > Your technologies > Extrusion & Forming
Engineering of extrusion : when precision guides the flow In the industrial landscape of continuous transformation, the extrusion process occupies a strategic position for the production of technical profiles with extremely tight tolerances. Within the AKRIS Group, we have developed cutting-edge expertise in the design and manufacture of high-performance extrusion dies and tooling. By merging the know-how of our expert entities on akris-group.com, we offer manufacturers a unique capability to master the most severe thermomechanical constraints.
Our value added is based on an intimate understanding of material flow, whether for metals, technical polymers or ceramic pastes. Extrusion tooling is not just a simple geometric shape ; it is a critical component that determines the dimensional stability, surface finish and mechanical properties of the final product. Whether your applications concern technical building, automotive or medical devices, AKRIS Group guarantees tooling whose longevity and precision directly optimize your production costs.
Extrusion is a particularly demanding process for tooling, subjected to constant friction and high pressures. To meet these challenges, the AKRIS group relies on Usicarb’s historical expertise in machining and shaping tungsten carbide and special steels.
We integrate ultra-hard material inserts at the core of our dies to limit wear and guarantee profile consistency over kilometers of production. This technical mastery makes it possible to reduce maintenance frequency and line shutdowns, ensuring maximum return on investment for our partners. Our profile grinding and mirror polishing capabilities complement this system to offer surface finishes with roughness controlled to the nearest micron.
For the most demanding sectors such as nuclear or aeronautical, variability is the enemy of safety. The AKRIS group has made the concept of zero variability the standard of its extrusion tooling manufacturing workshops.
For the most demanding sectors such as nuclear or aerospace, variability is the enemy of safety. AKRIS Group has made the ” Zero Variability ” concept the standard of its extrusion tooling manufacturing workshops. Each extrusion die or forming punch is produced according to rigorous protocols guaranteeing absolute repeatability. For our clients, this means that every new tool delivered is the exact clone of the previous one, allowing for an immediate production restart without a tedious setup phase. This requirement is supported by our advanced metrology equipment, including 3D dimensional control and laser topography.
The nuclear market imposes traceability requirements that now permeate all of our production processes. The AKRIS group ensures total transparency on the origin of its materials and on each stage of tooling transformation.
We provide comprehensive manufacturing files that certify compliance with the strictest international standards. This approach also includes an active fight against counterfeiting, guaranteeing our clients the use of authentic and reliable components for their strategic transformation lines.
