High-quality extruded parts 

For all industries that require high-quality extruded components, the XS series delivers cost-effective manufacturing, quality and production reliability. The most important feature of the XS series is the motion characteristic of the knuckle-joint. This design provides a slide motion that permits higher production speeds. At the same time, it improves part quality and broadens the spectrum of possible parts that can be made on the press. Other performance enhancing design features complement the motion characteristics.

Innovative knuckle-joint drive

The XS series has four articulated joints in the design of its knuckle-joint drive as compared to conventional impact extrusion presses with three. This creates slide motion characteristics that are especially favorable for both speed and part quality with very long nominal forming travel. The slower impact speed on the slugs provides protection for the punches and ensures longer tool lifetime. Thanks to the longer nominal force stroke, more material can be formed (thicker slugs). Significantly larger and more complex parts can now be produced on this series.
