Description

Overview
The HPK A series are hydraulic C‑frame presses designed for deep drawing, forming and notching operations. Manufactured in Europe with components meeting strict quality standards, the series covers nominal forces from 40 to 200 t. Large ram plates and a worktable with T‑slots allow flexible tooling and fixture setups. Mobile two‑hand operation ensures operator safety and stroke travel is defined by adjustable limit stops. Customized configurations are available to meet specific customer requirements.

Highlights
  • Classic C‑frame design for compact footprint and accessibility
  • Made in Europe with welded steel construction
  • Suitable for testing, prototyping and series production
  • Industry 4.0 integration ready
  • Customer‑specific solutions available
