FOCUS ON STAMPING 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 been designing and manufacturing custom hydroforming presses for over 15 years .
Interlaken Technology designs and builds three standardised lines of hydraulic presses : ServoPress , Hydroforming and HEATform™ . 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 .
A deep draw transfer press from Invernizzi Presse .
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 ).
“ 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 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 highspeed tandem lines globally . It also produces a variety of mechanical presses , from C-Frame to straight-sided press including transfer presses , progressive presses , blanking lines etc . Servo stamping solutions have also been provided to carmakers .
Komatsu designs large presses for forming automobile roofs and doors . 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 ). Its large highspeed transfer blanking press for processing car body panels improves productivity by 75 %, it told ISMR . 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 press , the combination of servo-hydraulic press with integrated impact forming presents new possibilities in forging technology . It also supplies screw presses .
With the VPE / VPA series and numerous 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 too tryout presses and massive forming presses ( single or multi-stage
