ULTRIX™

ULTRIX™ series presses deliver exceptionally low deflection levels and produce finished-dimension molded parts. Combined load variation and machining error is about one-third the value normally found in precision presses. This improves productivity by reducing or eliminating scrap and costly, time-consuming, post-press finishing operations.

Low deflection means accurate, uniform parts, which require little or no post handling, and very low scrap rates. Heavy-duty construction guarantees years of reliable service with minimal downtime. French combines a rugged patented taper key sideplate press design, with highly dependable and efficient electrical and hydraulic systems. Many of the design features not only extend the life of the press, but also produce more consistent and higher quality parts at higher cycle rates. They contribute to the lowering of production costs by reducing scrap rate, flash and post handling requirements while using less operating energy. This dependability helps reduce the Total Life Cycle Costs, while improving overall profitability.

French engineers can custom design an ULTRIX™ press to meet your exact needs. Applications include fuel cell manufacturing, composite parts, and precision rubber molding applications. A variety of tonnages and configurations are available.

Specialty Furniture Press

This composite press is developed specifically for the compaction of material to produce office and school furniture. Several unique systems provide the necessary control to mold these unique materials.

Tilting-Platen Press

This down-acting composite press design features either upper or lower tilting platens (or both) for easy mold access and cleaning. It also includes operator guarding and a special clamp locking system.

SRIM Press

The Automatic Moving Bolster Press, designed for Structural Reaction Injection Molding (SRIM) applications in the automotive industry, provides up to 1000 tons of clamping force, less than 0.005" deflection, and a 12' by 10' pressing surface. The process allows the production of structurally reinforced component design (non-uniform cross sections) in a single molding operation.
