FOCUS ON STAMPING
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.
“ Our ApexKA series of adjustable stroke, high-speed presses feature stroke lengths ranging from 15-64mm. The ApexKA series is equipped with a bottom dead-centre compensation system that can reduce variation during the stamping process and ensure that the bottom dead-centre accuracy remains within three microns. This significantly increases product yield,” commented INGYU.
INGYU’ s new HV350-3000 multi-point, high-speed presses are equipped with a slide quick-lift system that can quickly resolve mould issues without time-consuming recalibration. Designed with sustainability in mind, the HV350-3000 also supports carbon reduction efforts by enabling lighter, thinner components without compromising strength or precision. The manufacturer has introduced a new concept: thinning engineering, which involves reducing the thickness of materials used in products without compromising strength and functionality.
Parts produced on ITC presses.
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. Clamp forces range from 250 to 5000 tons.
The manufacturer 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.
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) as well as its KFT2 series for cold forging.
“ 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 high-speed tandem lines globally. It 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.
3200T eight-station transfer presses with Automatic Transfer System from LCM.
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.
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.
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, massive forming presses( singleor multi-stage processes), spotting presses and hot forming presses for press hardening. Special 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 the‘ 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. Available press forces range between 250- 1,000 tons. LAUFFER PRESSEN celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2022.
