2010 Awards for Excellence in Powder Metallurgy - Equipment Category - Dorst Technologies

The 2010 Awards for Excellence in Powder Metallurgy are organised by the European Powder Metallurgy Association (EPMA) and coincided with the World PM2010 Congress & Exhibition, Florence, Italy.

The 2010 EPMA Awards for Excellence in Powder Metallurgy Competition helps to recognise and promote powder metallurgy (PM) components, materials and equipment as cost effective and real alternatives to competing manufacturing processes.

Dorst Technologies - Hydraulic CNC Press Type EP.

Compacting Press -- a major innovation for the PM
Industry.

Two drive principles are the standard today for powder compacting presses: Mechanical and Hydraulic. In some instances a hybrid combination of both is
utilized.

Mechanical presses have long been the work horse of the industry.They combine ruggedness and reliability with economical benefits. Mechanical drives however have constraints caused by the rigidity of the press cycle and the adjustment interdependencies, which limit the flexibility needed for today's PM component production.

Hydraulic presses allow the production of intricate parts with exacting tolerances at high pressing forces. Sophisticated closed loop controls assure the minute alignment of the pressing sequence against set values to attain the most demanding component density and geometry standards.To assure this performance and to function reliably hydraulic presses need regular maintenance.
