Hydroforming press increases throughput and reduces cycle time INTERLAKEN Technology, a
The multi-channel closed loop control system is easily programmed to handle various sizes and materials. It also offers dynamic mode switching, which enables the user to switch between a variety of feedbacks such as force, position, internal pressure and other system variables. For over 34 years, Interlaken Technology Corporation has been designing and manufacturing servo- controlled equipment with sophisticated controls and monitoring software. This experience and knowledge allows the company to provide solutions for production press equipment. Interlaken offers an extensive warranty, and service and technical support.
systems, has introduced a new four- column hydroforming press system for running high-volume production while reducing cycle time. The new
manufacturer of production press equipment for hydroforming, elevated temperature forming, and hot stamping
hydroforming press system is offered in clamp forces from 250 to 5,000 tons. Hydroformed parts are stronger and weigh less due to structural integrity and fewer welds or add-on pieces. In addition, costs are reduced and time is saved by eliminating secondary operations, reducing scrap, lowering material and manufacturing costs, and increasing design flexibility. With superior control over forces and motions, Interlaken’s hydroforming press is claimed to provide a greater overall quality of formed parts.
