IPM50 Isostatic Powder Press for Thin, Heavy Rods and Thick-Walled Tubes

Fully automatic isostatic powder press for the production of thin, heavy tubes and rods up to a pressing pressure of 2000 bar.

The press is especially suited to the production of thin, heavy structural components made of technical ceramics, heavy metals and hard metals.

For increasing its output by adding a pressing module of an identical type, a basic IPM50 pressing module equipped with a robot can be expanded to a flexible production cell, called TWIN CELL.

The centralized robot, charged with removing the compacts, deals with both pressing modules in alternating sequence while the centralized hydraulic unit and electrical switch cabinet of the production cell open up space-saving layout possibilities best suited to the flow of the material.

Still, each pressing module has its own independent control and visualization system for individual settings and maximum flexibility.

Advantages

  • Isostatic forming for heavy structural components
  • Powder filling system, tailored to the geometry of the part
  • Fully automatic part removal by robot
  • Modular production cell system TWIN CELL
  • Efficient use of space due to centralized supply units
