FAQ

Yes. The systems are developed and built in Austria. This strengthens technological sovereignty, shortens distances, facilitates service, and supports European independence in security-relevant key technologies — an important point for many defense customers.

Sensors, automated process monitoring, and data interfaces are integrated into the hot presses. Pressures, temperatures, and times are recorded and stored. This creates complete documentation — important for certifications and verification obligations in the defense sector.

Such a cell can connect material preparation, loading and unloading of the press, demolding, cooling, handling, and discharge. Storage and Retrieval Machines, shuttle tables, robots, and gripper technology ensure that components move through the process safely and reproducibly — designed for efficient serial production.

The services offered include long-term maintenance, spare parts supply, remote diagnostics while observing IT security requirements, on-site service, and training for security-cleared personnel. As a turnkey provider, the machine builder supports projects from the concept phase through engineering, production, and logistics to commissioning — and remains a point of contact afterward.

These presses are designed for very tight tolerances, uniform pressure distribution, and precisely controlled temperature management. Hydraulic systems up to around 50,000 kN, servo-hydraulics, active parallel control, and heating/cooling systems up to about 450 °C ensure that protective elements are produced reproducibly in the required quality.
