HFS HYDRO FORMING SYSTEM
We don’t use the highly engineered forming-process HYDRO FORMING SYSTEM, (where tubes of our top-alloy PROLITE 66 are formed against complex negative-tools assuming their shape by having hot oil pumped with enormous, hydraulic pressure into the tube-interior), only to create a beautiful form.
Sure, the achievement of an attractive and unique design of aluminium frames is a pivotal aspect. But it is as important to us, to combine visual appearance and performance in an optimal ratio by the intelligent design of the HFS-frame. The highly stressed head-tube area is the most beautiful proof: stress-oriented, the enlarged crosssections of the connecting tubes are combined within one optical unit, with the help of only a few welding lines and perfect tube-crossovers. Absolutely free of chattering, with great safety backup and impressive light weight: the MATTS HFS XC Comp frame weighs just 1390 grams at 18“.
With the edgy, rectangular shaped and oversized down tube, the concave side-walls and the new HFS- head tube, we continue with the distinctive visual appearance of the Merida Carbon-frame. Of course, beside visual aspects, we take the technical advantages of these shapes: High bottom bracket and torsional rigidity with enormous safetyreserves.
ROBOT WELDING BY MERIDA
Technology
Merida is the only frame-building company that uses this complex technology for welding bikeframes made out of aluminium.
Different to conventional handmade frames, welding- robots always work with the same precision; they don’t know tempers and headaches. Experienced welding-engineers arrange the set-up of the welding-robots thoroughly and observe the process continuously.
We control the consistency of the welding with spot samples. The results are convincing: Robot-welded frames are permanently at a higher level of strength than handmade aluminium frames. In addition to that the welding-structure is absolutely consistent. On higher level frame-models, we optimize the welds with a further operation: the Smooth Welding process provides, through a second welding run without using a welding-rod, smooth and shapely joins of the highest stability.
That is why you can feel certain that at Merida, perfectly welded aluminium-frames are born.
One piece like the other. Yours, too. MERIDA ROBOT-WELDING represents our commitment to quality. Furthermore the use of robots in frame-production is one factor that allows top quality being affordable for you.
