MetalForming
Metal Forming — press machines, forming lines, sheet-metal processing. Two structured types, deep cascade through MachineTool, Machinery, PADIM, IA, DI.
OPC UA companion specification for metal-forming machines — hydraulic presses, mechanical presses, sheet-metal lines, deep- drawing machines. Extends MachineTool with forming-specific process data.

- MachineTool
- Machinery — via MachineTool
- IA — via Machinery
- DI — via IA
- PADIM — for process-instrument descriptors
The deepest cascade in the package — five registrars come along with one load.
Notable types
The two DTOs encode press-cycle records and stroke-curve metadata specific to forming operations. The spec leans on MachineTool for identification and on PADIM for measurement-side instrumentation.
