FOCUS ON STAMPING

Volvo ; HONDA ; TOYOTA ; BMW and more . For the past 44 years , more than 4,500 machines and 45 tandem lines from 5 to 6,000 tons have been built and exported to 75 countries in the world .
Fagor Arrasate designs and manufactures presses and stamping systems from 630KN up to 150,000KN , using mechanical , hydraulic or servo-driven technology , depending upon customer requirements .
Fresan Makina san . ve Tic . Ltd . Sti manufactures C-frame eccentric presses from 10 tons to 250 tons ( 100kN - 2500kN ), special machinery and hydraulic punching presses .
A Rhodes Interform 2000-ton super plastic forming press .
Group Rhodes is one of Europe ’ s largest original equipment manufacturers in its field . The Group actively manufactures and markets over fifty basic ranges of presses / machines and designs , develops and manufactures bespoke machinery and complete turnkey solutions . It is also a specialist in super plastic forming and diffusion bonding for aerospace and automotive industries and offers a full range of aftermarket services across a wide range of industrial sectors .
Through its Rhodes Interform business , it has also developed a new stamping process that enables large monocoque components , particularly those produced by super plastic forming ( SPF ) from very thin material , to accurately retain their shape on cooling . The company designs , manufactures and installs titanium and aluminium forming cells for aerospace and automotive manufacturers .
Haulick + Roos manufactures precision stamping and forming machines for stamping , punching , cutting , bending and drawing . It can also handle complex forming work with progressive and complete cutting tools in the press force range from 250 to 5,000kN . Its ROP 4000-3500 press ( with a press force of 4000kN , installation length 3500mm ) features a KFS guide system , rotating stroke / pendulum stroke and switchable servo drive .
Danish manufacturer Hydraulico A / S has installed over 4000 hydraulic presses in 60 countries since 1946 . Its product range includes tailor-made presses ( up to 8000 tons and five forming axes ) and customised
press solutions integrating different types of peripheral equipment , automation , heating technologies and tooling . It designs and delivers advanced press technology and complete production lines , with all presses designed and produced to customer requirements . The design , construction and production of advanced hydraulic presses are still Hydraulico ’ s core competences . Its presses start from 100 tons up to 8000 tons .
Its HydraulicoLink TM is based on a secured cloud platform and is designed to eliminate documentation dependency , provide machine history traceability and instant video sharing for troubleshooting , as well as increased and instant remote assistance . Users can check the overall status of presses , maintenance operations , spare parts availability and production data .
INGYU is a Taiwanese precision stamping press manufacturer which provides high-speed
The ING-YU APEX 60 straightside press . presses for automotive , can-making , motor lamination and complex forming applications . INGYU ’ s Apex straightside , two-plunger , high-speed press features two-piece 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 .
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 . Interlaken offers this hydroforming press system in clamp forces ranging from 250 to 5000 tons . Hydroformed parts are stronger and weigh less due to structural integrity and fewer welds or add-on pieces .
ITC has taken its knowledge of hydroform press design and combined it with the forming techniques developed by HEATform™ . HEATform™ is Hot Metal Gas Forming ( HMGF ). Instead of hydraulic pressure , gas pressure is used to form alloys in a heat-softened state . ITC ’ s Hydroform and HEATform™ systems help manufacturers to create hollow bodied parts on machines with cycle times as fast as five to seven seconds .
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 ).
Established in 1937 , JIER Machine Tool , Ltd . is a large manufacturer of metalforming 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 straight-sided press ( 110T to 5,000T ), including transfer presses , progressive presses , blanking lines etc . JIER has also supplied servo stamping solutions to carmakers .
