With FORGE TRONIC presses you can produce a wide range of parts including:

• Heating system fittings: HVAC fittings, fittings for gas applications, radiators and central heating fittings, gas plumbing,

• Fittings for water supply: water meters, water plumbing, plumbing fittings, valves for water (ball o gate valves for water, elbows, Tee fittings, water intake, plumbing, strainers)

• Fittings for hydraulics

• Fittings for pneumatics

ELECTRIC TECHNOLOGY:

All the axes, the upper die, the four extruders and the unloading arm are directly driven by electric motors, allowing the user to regulate and monitor the process variables: position, speed, torque, etc. Thanks to a touchscreen monitor, the operator can set up the work cycle, the stroke, start and end parameters for each extruder.

This way, the press is so accurate and precise that the forged parts have no burrs after forging and do not need any extra machining.

The press has an integrated die lubrication through 16 upper nozzles and 16 lower nozzles and the required oil volume can be adjusted directly through machine settings.

A specific Cad-Cam software allows the import of Step files of the die, workpiece, pins and pin bushings and other relevant settings can be saved, such as the start/ stop sequences of the pins. In addition, the software enables the operator to emulate the machine cycle and then the relevant file can be transferred directly to the Forge Tronic press. The press is available in different versions in order to meet the needs of different customers and reach various machine throughputs.
