Presses used in this sector
COLDDeep Drawing Press
Deep drawing press — it draws sheet metal into seamless vessel and body forms; the blank holder prevents wrinkling, and the blank holder force and the drawing speed are adjusted independently of each other.
- Protective vessel body
HOTSMC & BMC Press
A hot hydraulic press that forms glass-fibre reinforced thermoset compounds — SMC sheet and BMC bulk — by curing them under pressure in a heated mould.
- Composite housing and lid
- Lightweighted structural part
HOTBallistic Plate and Helmet Press
A hot hydraulic press that cures ballistic protection plates, helmets and chest–arm–shoulder protection parts under pressure between heated platens.
- Ballistic protection plates
- Chest protection plate
- Arm and shoulder protection part
- +5
HOTLaboratory Press
A laboratory press does not carry out the test — it produces the sample to be tested; by recording at which temperature, pressure and time the best part comes out, it gives you the recipe for series production.
- Material development samples
- Composite recipe trials
- Pre-series part
TRANSFERHydraulic Transfer Press
A hydraulic transfer press that brings every step of a part formed in several stages together in a single machine — the part is carried automatically between the stations and one finished part comes off with every press stroke.
- Bomb body preform
- Protective vessel body
HOTComposite Press
A hot hydraulic press that consolidates technical materials such as prepreg, organosheet, ballistic composite and PEEK in a mould with a controlled heating–cooling cycle.
- Lightweighted structural part
- Composite housing and lid
