Interlaken Technology Corp.: Hydroforming Press Systems
Hydroforming Press Systems are designed to manufacture a wide array of HVAC metal components such as heat exchanger shells, fittings, couplers, reducers, and most tubular shapes. The systems are computer-controlled hydraulic presses with data acquisition. They are designed to perform both tube and sheet hydroforming applications. The systems are equipped with the UniPress control system for reliable and precise control over the hydroforming process. Windows-compatible interface software enables users to build motion and force profiles designed to fit specific forming needs. The multi-channel closed loop control system is easily programmed to handle event as well as time dependencies. The Learning/Research mode determines tool and die specifications, measures and optimizes processes, and programs forces and motions. The Production mode runs the optimized profile while monitoring and recording process variables.
