AIDA Europe ’ s invitation to ‘ Winter Days ’
AIDA , a global specialist in the production and sale of servo and mechanical presses for sheet metal forming , invites anyone who wishes to visit its European production plant in Pavone Mella ( Brescia , Italy ) over two weeks ( the Winter Days 2025 event ) from 17-28 February 2025 . The second edition of the event will focus mainly on the benefits of servo technology and innovative solutions developed by the group over the last year .
“ With a distinctly operational approach , Winter Days include a complete tour of the plant : starting from the welding department , moving onto intermediate processes and finishing at assembly , where live demonstrations of servo and mechanical presses of different tonnages and table sizes will be held . Our presses are used to produce a wide range of products including automotive frames and components ; electric motor sheets ; application parts and structural elements ; electrical and electronic components ; bipolar plates and battery containers ,” AIDA told ISMR .
New solutions developed by AIDA Group over the previous year , including the new DSF-BE1 servo presses series for the forming of metal separators for bipolar plates used in
AIDA Europe ’ s European production plant in Pavone Mella ( Brescia , Italy ).
fuel cells and electrolysers ( water electrolysis devices ), will be showcased . The press series features a nine-point support design , highrigidity frame , zero clearance guides and a large area to accommodate multi-stage forming .
“ Another key area of our European factory is the department dedicated to production of MSP series high-speed presses , the latest step in a multi-million-euro investment plan . Used for the lamination of motor cores , MSP presses enable the production of precision , high-value-added electric motors such as those intended for EV motors , HEV motors and motors for high-energy efficiency home appliances ,” added AIDA .
AIDA developed the MSP Series more than 20 years ago and has installed , to date , more than 500 units worldwide . The MSP-4000-430 model was recently launched into the market , capable of accommodating dies of up to 4,300mm long .
“ Winter Days will also be an opportunity to see live and in operation several presses in our DSF-NE2 Series , engineered and produced entirely in Brescia . Introduced to the market at the beginning of 2021 , the presses are equipped with high-torque and low-speed AIDA servomotors for sheet metal stamping . This press series is capable of speeds of 120 strokes per minute ,” AIDA told ISMR .
“ Winter Days will also encourage the exchange of opinions and ideas between players in the sheet metal forming sector , at a time when it is more important than ever to think and operate in an unconventional way in an extremely challenging market ,” it concluded .
