Large press lines are the giants among forming lines. But an interlinked process of several forming presses can also be profitable for smaller press shops.

After all, press linking is also possible with C-frame presses. In such concepts, it is usually not the die size or the required press force that is the reason for distributing the individual die stages to different forming presses.

The reason here is usually the much more economical production of small and medium quantities.

Blank handling has been one of DREHER core competencies for more than 50 years, having the entire forming process in view, whether the final product would be small structural or large body parts.

We link forming presses with:

• Feeder automation resp. linear robots
• Transfer automation

The most flexible solution for press linking is a feeder automation.

Our feeders resp. linear robots are specially designed for handling tasks in the press shop and are particularly suitable for linking processes.

The robust and flexible feeder automation technology from DREHER Automation enables maximum output with maximum availability thanks to linear motion sequences and highly dynamic servo drive technology.

Alternatively, we offer our customers automation concepts based on our transfer automation, with one-sided or two-sided transfer bars with a continuous transfer rail or with individual transfer units.

In sector of C-frame press linking, we offer you a technically and economically coherent overall solution, including the C -frame presses, in addition to consistent press automation and our competent project management.
