FOCUS ON STAMPING
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 A sample part for presses ( single or multistage processes ). Special electric vehicles from FIUKA on the Minster EV press . 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 .
The new servo-hydraulic press in its SRZ series features an energy-saving servo direct drive paired with the latest pump technology . Press forces range between 250-1,000 tons .
Spanish manufacturer MECAMAQ manufactures custom hydraulic presses . In 2014 , it moved its operations to a new factory to increase its capacity and build “ larger and more powerful ” machines .
Mossini S . p . A . offers conventional eccentric presses ; mechanical presses with Link Drive ( slow motion ) and eccentric presses with programmable slow motion Desmodrive ( patented by Mossini ). It also manufactures hydraulic ; triple-effect hydraulic ; die-spotting ; multi-slide hydraulic and electric presses . Presses and lines for hot forming , forging and ring-rolling mills are also featured .
Production line options include automotive tandem / transfer lines ; blanking lines ; hydraulic press lines and household appliance lines .
Nidec Press & Automation has established a single-source solution for machinery , services and technology . The Nidec Press & Automation brand brings together Minster , Arisa , Kyori , SYS-DPA and Vamco , as well as CHS Automation and Pneumatic Feed Service stamping press products / services to the market . This includes equipment around the press , such as material handling and highspeed roll feeding solutions .
The Nidec Arisa GS2 “ Global ” Servo Series press has a capacity range of 3150 to 8000kN , and has been configured for manufacturing in North America , Europe and China . Nidec P & A has been working on a manufacturing programme of Minster presses for electric vehicles , laminations and packaging from Spain . At the BIEMH exhibition in 2022 , it showcased MINSTER EV presses for electric vehicle stamping .
Its range of Nidec Arisa stamping technologies encompass servo blanking , tryout and multi-purpose presses , as well as presses
Mossini servo press .
OMERA hydraulic presses .
for transfer / progressive dies . Automation and software solutions are also available . The Kyori VX-50 high-speed press features Nidec SYS feeding systems . Nidec Kyori ANEX presses are designed for automated high-speed blanking and bending operations . The company has more than thirty years of expertise in Link-Motion press technology . NP & A products include a selection of mechanical and servo stamping presses ; high speed automation machinery ; controls and integrated solutions .
OMERA specialises in automatic lines and integrated production projects . The OMERA brand is internationally recognised for the design and production of trimming / beading machines , energy-saving mechanical and hydraulic presses and automatic lines for turnkey production processes . The company provides automatic or semi-automatic lines for the production of pots , lids , gas bottles , water heaters , domestic appliances , car parts etc . It has long experience in the construction of strain-hardening machines .
Earlier this year , OMERA announced the acquisition of the brand , as well as the movable and intangible assets , of GIGANT . This historic Italian company specialises in the design and production of hydraulic presses for cold and hot forging .
With this purchase , Vicenza-based OMERA , which recently celebrated its 70th anniversary and recorded turnover of 24 million euros in 2022 , strengthens its significant presence as , what it terms , “ a technological hub in sheetmetal forming machine tools ”.
OMERA showcased a 200-ton straightside hydraulic press at the recent LAMIERA exhibition in Milan , Italy .
Quintus Technologies specialises in the design , manufacture , installation and support of high-pressure systems for sheetmetal forming and densification of advanced materials and critical industrial components . It has become a leading producer of fluid cell presses for sheet hydroforming and similar sheet-metal forming applications . Its Flexform press process requires only one rigid tool half ; the other tool half is a flexible rubber diaphragm under uniform hydrostatic pressure . This design approach aims to generate significant tool cost savings and eliminate several forming operations , intermediate heat treatments and operator dependencies .
