Quintus supplies high-pressure fluid cell press to Edelstahl-Mechanik

Quintus Technologies, Västerås, Sweden, has delivered a Flexform high-pressure fluid cell press to Edelstahl-Mechanik GmbH, a supplier of sheet metal parts primarily to the medical, white goods, and agricultural industries based in Göppingen, Germany.

With the new press added to its equipment lineup, the company now can produce parts with complex geometries and free-form surfaces in a single manufacturing process, especially appropriate in low-volume applications.

The press provides a force of 17,000 tons over a forming area of 27.5 by 72 in. It operates with one rigid tool half; the other tool half is a flexible rubber diaphragm under uniform hydrostatic pressure. This design allows for reduced tool costs and lead times, the company says.
