The technicality and experience of our design offices
enables us to handle the most diverse requests
and to develop machines to special specifications.

Punching presses
The unique feature of these presses is their inverted structure.
This type of machine is called an “underdrive press”.
All the control linkage is in the press base.
The slide drive is via four uprights.
These presses are normally used for high rate strip punching.

Our know-how at your service


Mechanical presses can be used in many and varied fields, and for special applications. Our technical teams are available to advise and guide you, and to draw up the specifications that will satisfy the customer's aims most closely.

 

Transfer presses

The choice of transfer presses is an alternative in press feed methods. Whether it is based on a standard press or one developed to specifications, fitting a transfer gives the equipment a great deal of flexibility of operation.
There are various types of transfer:
• Mechanical two or three axis transfer.
• Electronic double bar two or three axis transfer.
• Single bar electronic transfer.

The variety of possibilities of use of transfer presses necessitates the use of appropriate accessories:
• Strip feed with staggered cutting device.
• Blank destacker with feeding system to the first work station.
• External blanking slide.
• Individual shut height adjustment for each station.
• Individual air or hydraulic cushion for each station.
• Pneumatic or hydraulic ejectors on the slide.
• Tool changing system with emptying of transfer bars.
• Numerical control for parameter management.

Fast presses

We have designed special presses to satisfy high productivity requirements for small part blanking. The specific nature of semi-fast and fast presses resides in the structure of the drive system and above all in the optimisation of operating clearances to reduce vibration.

Our design comprises the following special features:
• Direct flywheel without back gears.
• Ball bearing-mounted crankshaft.
• Dynamic balancing of moving parts.
• Slide guiding by pre-stressed rollers.
• Mechanical or electronic strip feed synchronisation.
