FOCUS ON STAMPING eight-point roller slide guide system and dual counter-rotating eccentric shafts . Press and die integrity are protected by AIDA ’ s metal seal type Hydraulic Overload Protection ( HOLP ) at 10 milliseconds to zero pressure .
Two product lines that are dedicated to the production of motor laminations are the AIDA HMX Series and AIDA MSP Series presses . The AIDA MSP press enables users to produce motors such as EV motors , HEV motors and energy-efficient home appliance motors .
AIDA ’ s new DSF-NE2 presses are equipped with their own low-RPM , high-torque servo motor for metalforming applications . Its DSF- TE4 servo transfer presses ( double-column split presses designed for transfer applications ) offer high levels of customisation through multiple configurations . AIDA ’ s press line series also includes servo presses , high-speed automatic presses for lamination and precision forming presses .
AIDA-America introduced its DSF-N2-AB Series direct drive , two-point , unitised frame servo presses , available in 200 and 300 metric ton models , in October last year . At Blechexpo in November 2023 , visitors to AIDA ’ s stand saw DSF-NE2 monoblock servo presses as well as the entire AIDA press line series including servo presses , high-speed automatic presses for lamination and precision forming presses .

Swedish press specialist , AP & T , is introducing a new version of its servo-hydraulic press with even lower energy consumption than before . The new version is primarily intended for progressive die stamping which requires a large number of strokes per minute and for other types of forming requiring precision such as embossing , punching and deep drawing .
AP & T ’ s engineers have equipped the press with a closed , robust hydraulic system with a small oil volume and few components . Thanks to the modular system , each press can be optimised to use one or more cylinders depending upon the application .
“ We are also introducing a new Android-based tool that simplifies remote problem solving and reduces the risk of
AP & T ’ s new servo-hydraulic press .
misunderstandings and downtime ,” added AP & T .
AP & T is now adding factory-rebuilt presses to its customer offering . These are older machines that AP & T ’ s facility in Tranemo , Sweden , have rebuilt and upgraded to meet current performance and safety requirements .
Italian manufacturer Balconi Presseccentriche S . p . A . produces transfer , blanking and servo presses as well as presses for progressive tools , impact extrusion presses and fin die presses . Its 4DMRF-LD-2000 press model has a 2,000kN cushion and three-axis electronic transfer . The press can produce up to 27 strokes per minute .
Boldrini is a manufacturer of hydraulic dished-end presses , flanging machines and manipulators . They feature high speeds including approach , return and , particularly , pressure build-up timing that , it told ISMR , results in a substantial increase in head production .
Swiss stamping specialist , Bruderer AG , unveiled two new presses at the Blechexpo exhibition in Stuttgart , Germany , last November . It introduced the BSTA 710-220 and the BSTL 350-88 models ( the latter for customers involved in volume production of small and miniature components ).
“ As a fixed-stroke press , the BSTL uses up to 30 % less energy when compared to older machine models . It comes with a new-generation servo feed unit ,” commented Bruderer .
The BSTA 710-220 , said Bruderer , offers “ the longest bed length ( 2.2 metres ) of its machine type in the world .” With automatic stroke adjustment and various options such as different stroke lengths , shut heights and press force monitoring ( for example ), the press can be configured for individual customer requirements .
Bruderer employs some 460 people worldwide , 370 of whom work at its Frasnacht site in Switzerland where all its stamping presses are produced .
Taiwanese manufacturer Chin Fong ’ s stamping presses range from 20-ton single crank presses and up to 3200 metric tons of
capacity to four-point , eccentric , gear-driven , large panel and multi-stage transfer presses . Forging presses are further diversified by cold , warm and hot forging processes . It has also developed an intelligent single-crank press with a crank mechanism used for blanking , drawing , bending and partial forming . Its straightside double-crank power press , with 400-ton capacity , has a bed area of 2.5m x 1m and can produce metal stampings from material measuring up to 400mm wide and 3.5mm thick .
Established in 1948 , Chin Fong now has offices in Taiwan , China , Indonesia , Malaysia , Thailand and the USA as well as representatives in various countries around the world . Its A0 tandem press line for the automotive industry includes stages such as deep drawing , trimming , piercing etc .
The company has moved onto multi-press connections and cloud computing , linking ERP management and even AI computing systems to analyse Big Data . It offers machine selection consulting services , combined with its “ iForming PMS - Intelligent Forming Productivity Management System ” solution . It has also implemented scanning code and fingerprint authentication to meet workplace safety requirements , as well as facial recognition and an iris recognition system .
COSKUNÖZ KALIP MAKINA SANAYI VE TICARET A . S . offers turnkey solution to OEMs for stamping tooling , with upstream and downstream services which include engineering feasibility at vehicle design stage ; HLTO services ; die repair and maintenance ; prototype dies / parts and project management . DEES Hydraulic Industrial Co ., Ltd . is a hydraulic press manufacturer with factories in Taiwan and China . Its main products include presses such as custom triple-action ; diespotting ; die tryout ; deep-drawing ; transfer ; servo-controlled ; tandem line ; hot forming ; four-post ; hemming ; C-frame etc . Its focus is on three main stamping areas : servo motors , higher speed of the hydraulic press and higher productivity for presses , using accumulators for shorter strokes . DEES Hydraulic has also successfully developed a closed loop , hydraulic , servo-controlled die spotting press .
The manufacturer has introduced a 24- hour 2,500-ton tandem line customised for automotive manufacturing industry . The hydraulic monoblock system is powered by a motor and pump set . The moving bolsters are enhanced with a QDS system ( quick diechange system ) to make the heavy die change easier and faster . Users can adjust pressure , speed , daylight and stroke distance .
The high-speed technology of the HD series developed by DEES is controlled by the accumulator . Its pressing speed is between 30-150mm / second , with an approaching speed of 800mm / second or faster and return speed of 600mm / second or faster . With the cushion system function to knock out the parts , all
