The Institute for Production Engineering and Forming Machines has a tryout press with three different operating modes: conventional, double membrane and hydroforming.

The press is used for producing component geometries in the range of cold and warm forming. A force sensor mounted in the tool frame and a displacement sensor mounted on the press frame enable the recording of a high-resolution force-displacement curve. In addition, all relevant information provided by the press control can be recorded. An extension of the flexible measuring system with temperature sensors or similar equipment is possible.
