Компания Andritz Schuler представит технологии прессования композитов и систему защиты форм на выставке CAMX 2026

Hydraulic Press Systems Span FRP Forming Methods Support CAMX 2026: Andritz Schuler will present its various composite press technology configurations, along with life cycle service offerings like Metris Visual Die Protection. Andritz Schuler Inc. (Canton, Mich., U.S.), the North American subsidiary of Andritz Schuler GmbH (Göppingen, Germany), produces automated hydraulic press systems for manufacturing fiber-reinforced plastics (FRPs) and composite materials. The company’s composite press lineup includes a conventional long-stroke, top-driven hydraulic press and a modular short-stroke, bottom-driven configuration. The short-stroke presses range from 10,000 kN to more than 160,000 kN and support forming methods including sheet molding compound (SMC), glass mat thermoplastic (GMT), bulk molding compound (BMC) and high-pressure resin transfer molding (HP-RTM). Short pressure buildup times, rapid closing speeds and active ram parallelism are intended to produce uniform wall thicknesses and reduce material rejection. Applications span automotive, aerospace and consumer goods, including kitchen and bath products, along with research and academic use. Beyond new equipment, Andritz Schuler provides life cycle services covering spare parts, preventative maintenance, press shop design and optimization, turnkey installations, and modernizations and retrofits for existing systems. The company’s Metris digital solutions, including Visual Die Protection and Shopfloor Operations Management, are intended to improve line productivity and availability. Metris Visual Die Protection uses camera-based technology to continuously monitor die conditions in real time. The system is designed to stop the press instantly if it detects foreign objects, defective dies, scrap accumulation or cracks in parts, with the goal of preventing die damage and reducing unexpected downtime. At CAMX 2026, Andritz Schuler will present its composite press technologies, local service offerings and Metris Visual Die Protection, along with its broader portfolio of press systems and automated lines.
