FOCUS ON STAMPING
1946 . Its product range includes tailor-made presses ( up to 10,000 tons and six forming axes ) and customised press solutions integrating different types of peripheral equipment , automation , heating technologies and tooling .
Hydraulico ’ s Electronic Shimming TM technology is designed to eliminate wrinkles and cracks in the finished parts , and therefore reduce scrap rates . The company has now opened a subsidiary office in the United States .
I . M . V . Presse specialises in developing a wide range of mechanical and servo press solutions ( from one to four connecting rods with power ranging from 1,000 to 35,000kN ) as well as turnkey press lines .
INGYU ’ s HV350-3000 multi-point , high-speed press .
INGYU is a Taiwanese press manufacturer , established in 1970 , which provides highspeed presses for automotive , can-making , motor lamination and complex forming applications . Its new SVL-10 Ultra Precision Press , with servo technology and an oil-free design , is suitable for stamping ultra-thin plastic material as well as metals such as steel , brass , aluminium and stainless steel .
“ Our ApexKA series of adjustable stroke , high-speed presses feature stroke lengths ranging from 15-64mm . The ApexKA series is equipped with a bottom dead-centre compensation system that can reduce variation during the stamping process and ensure that the bottom dead-centre accuracy remains within three microns . This significantly increases product yield ,” commented INGYU .
INGYU ’ s new HV350-3000 multi-point , high-speed presses are equipped with a slide quick-lift system that can quickly resolve mould issues without time-consuming recalibration . INGYU ’ s Apex straightside , two-plunger , high-speed press features twopiece casting frames . Its Saga multi-slide motion mechanical press features three slide motion modes ( including forming , bending and drawing ) in one press to maximise productivity .
The manufacturer has also introduced a new concept : thinning engineering . It involves reducing the thickness of materials used in products without compromising strength and functionality .
Interlaken Technology Company ( ITC ), a manufacturer of production press equipment for hydroforming , elevated temperature forming and hot stamping systems , has introduced a four-column hydroforming press system for running high-volume production while reducing cycle time . Clamp forces range from 250 to 5000 tons .
The manufacturer designs and builds three standardised lines of hydraulic presses : ServoPress , Hydroforming and HEATform™ . Italian manufacturer Invernizzi Presse was established in 1958 , offering customised press solutions for high-speed mechanical transfer presses . Press types include Open End Down and Open End Up ( deep drawing ) as well as its KFT2 series for cold forging .
“ The process that we designed and developed in-house for production allows our transfer presses to deep draw parts starting from strip . Production has never been so fast ! All our machines can be integrated in an Industry-4.0 environment ,” explained the press specialist .
ISGEC Heavy Engineering Ltd . has delivered over 5000 presses and over 70 press lines to 26 countries . Its press portfolio includes mechanical gap and ring frame ; straightside ( mechanical and hydraulic ); servo ; transfer ; die spotting ; gap frame and hydraulic presses , as well as tandem press lines .
Established in 1937 , JIER Machine Tool , Ltd . is a large manufacturer of metal forming equipment and heavy metal cutting machine tools in China . Other JIER products include press automation equipment ; sheet metal processing machines ; foundry machinery ; CNC cutting machines ; environmental protection equipment and building materials equipment .
It has supplied hundreds of automated high-speed tandem lines globally . It also produces a variety of mechanical presses , from C-Frame to straightside press including transfer presses , progressive presses ,
JIER press technology . blanking lines etc . Servo stamping solutions have also been provided to carmakers .
Komatsu Industries Corp . designs large servo and mechanical presses for forming automobile roofs and doors as well as for cold forming ultra-high-tensile steel . Its large presses are represented by a tandem press for a variety of wide applications and a transfer press for high productivity . Its hybrid AC servo press , H1F , combines advanced CNC controls and a hybrid drive mechanism ( pat . p ). Komatsu also provides blanking presses and coil lines .
Since its foundation in 1863 , LASCO Umformtechnik GmbH has been engaged in harnessing fluid power for forming applications . It supplies machine tools and production lines for forming tasks and develops , designs and manufactures individual solutions for industrial users in more than 60 countries . This includes hydraulic presses for sheet metal forming , deep drawing and coining presses as well as press automation . It offers a complete range of conventional forming machines for hot , warm and cold solid forming as well as sheet metal forming , which are individually designed and automated according to customer requirements .
Its hydraulic deep-drawing presses are particularly suited for difficult drawn parts and special materials ( press forces of 4,000- 40,000kN ). With its Multiplex MXP press , the combination of servo-hydraulic press with integrated impact forming presents new possibilities in forging technology . It also supplies screw presses . Its TZP Universal , deep-drawing and embossing press offers press force of between 4,000-40,000kN .
With the VPE / VPA series and various options , accessories and automation options , LASCO offers a press concept for preforming , trimming , piercing and upsetting operations ( 2500-100,00kN ). It has automated over 500 production lines .
Maschinenfabrik Lauffer GmbH & Co . KG ( LAUFFER ) manufactures hydraulic and servo-hydraulic presses . Its portfolio includes R-Frame hydraulic frame presses ( from 630 to 10,000kN ) as well as tryout presses and massive forming presses ( single or multistage processes ). Special purpose presses are also available , in double or C-frame design , for deep drawing , embossing , bending , punching or other special requirements . LAUFFER has also developed its ‘ Front of Line ’ and ‘ End of Line ’ concepts for fully automated press lines .
