MAXIMUM PRODUCTION FLEXIBILITY.
MAXIMUM PRODUCTION FLEXIBILITY
THANKS TO FREELY PROGRAMMABLE STROKE HEIGHTS AND MOVEMENT SEQUENCES.
Clear increase in output in comparison to conventional mechanical presses. Higher return on investment. Ideal for high-strength steel forming. Better part quality and die life spans thanks to slide movement sequences which are optimally adapted.
