Extrusion press from SMS Meer
THE ATILIM University from Ankara,
Turkey, has ordered a direct-indirect
extrusion press with 10-MN press force
from SMS Meer, Germany. The modern
press will be installed in university’s
Metal Forming Center of Excellence
and is to be used for fundamental
research and test series by industrial
companies.
“We decided in favour of a press from
SMS Meer because it offers us the latest
technology from the market leader.
Furthermore, SMS Meer will establish a
cooperation with us and support us with
process know-how and with lectures in
the field of research and development,”
says A Erman Tekkaya, founding
director of the Center of Excellence at
the ATILIM University.
SMS Meer cooperates with several
universities and research institutes
worldwide, and supports these
institutions through a practice-oriented
know-how transfer.
The extrusion press at the ATILIM
University will provided with a piercing
device able to integrate a mandrel at a
later time and thus serving to produce
seamless tubes.
The energy-efficient direct-indirect
extrusion press has a billet loader and
a cassette heater characterised by its
uniform temperature. The billet lengths
for direct extrusion are 250 to 300mm,
and for indirect extrusion 220 to 260mm.
The ram speed ranges from 0.2 to
30mm/s.
Mr Tekkaya added “We will use
the broad spectrum of the press, for
example to verify simulations or to
develop industrial application for the
Turkish extrusion press operators.”
Commissioning is scheduled for
October 2013.
