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, 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. The manufacturer has eight overseas subsidiaries near automotive manufacturers’ plants.
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.
