AIDA will introduce its new BEX Series, a dedicated line-up of presses engineered specifically for manufacturing bipolar plates, a key component in fuel cells and electrolysers.
“ The BEX Series is designed AIDA BEX Series. to form the intricate pattern of flow channels for hydrogen, oxygen and water, whose dimensions and shape must adhere to extremely tight tolerances. The presses feature a zero-clearance slide gib system. The BEX architecture is built around a single-pressure-point design. This allows the concentration of the press’ s full capacity in the centre of the table and optimises the relative deflection between the slide and bolster, thereby extending die life,” it confirmed.
The BEX product line-up consists of 8,000kN, 12,000kN and 16,000kN models, in both servo press and mechanical press specifications. AIDA’ s press line series includes transfer and progressive servo and mechanical presses, high-speed automatic presses for lamination and precision forming presses.

Saronni will showcase two twin coil feeding lines. The lines are designed for transfer presses and can handle coils with widths of up to 1,800mm and 8mm in thickness.
“ A key feature is the automatic cassette change system in the leveller, which enables fast and safe switching between two roller packs. This allows efficient processing of different materials, such as high-strength steel and aluminium, without manual intervention,” commented Saronni.
“ Both lines are fully automated, from decoiling to feeding, helping to reduce downtime and improve efficiency. Energyefficient components have also been integrated to reduce power consumption without affecting performance. With a focus on Roller pack. automation, material flexibility and sustainability, these twin lines are engineered to support the evolving needs of precision forming in the automotive sector,” it concluded.
