Production
hydroforming
press systems
INTERLAKEN Technology, a manu-
facturer of production press
equipment for hydroforming, elevated
temperature forming, and hot stamping
systems, has introduced a four-
column hydroforming press system for
running high-volume production parts.
The high-volume hydroforming press
system is available in clamp forces
from 250 to 5,000 tons.
Hydroformed parts are stronger and
weigh less due to structural integrity
and fewer welds or add-on pieces.
Other benefits include elimination of
secondary operations, reduced scrap,
lower material and manufacturing costs,
and increased design flexibility.
With more control over forces and
motions, Interlaken’s Hydroforming
Press is claimed to provide a greater
overall quality of formed
parts. The multi-channel
closed loop control system
is easily programmed to
handle various sizes and
materials. It also offers
dynamic mode switching,
which enables the user to
switch between a variety of
feedbacks such as force,
position, internal pressure and other
system variables.
As a hydroforming partner, Interlaken’s
engineers will develop, test, analyse,
build samples and create tailored
hydroformed parts, as well as searching
for better and more cost-effective ways
to solve problems.
For over 35 years Interlaken
Technology Corporation has been
designing and manufacturing servo-
controlled equipment with sophisticated
controls and monitoring software. The
company offers an extensive warranty,
and service and technical support.

The latest, entry level welders’ toolbox monitor
NEW SELF CALIBRATING - TAG have revised their most popular Oxygen Monitor, the
Handy Purge 100, and are pleased to announce the Worldwide release of THE HANDY
PURGE 100 SELF CALIBRATING (SC)
The Handy Purge 100SC features a new, upgraded Oxygen Sensor, which does not
require calibration prior to each use. This produces faster and more accurate readings of
oxygen concentration down to 0.01% (100 parts per milllion).
The Handy Purge 100SC still remains the most cost effective entry level
Purge Monitor on the market, offering the best quality, at the best price.
The HP100SC is suited to most general high purity material welding
applications and is best used in conjunction with one of our TAG Purge systems.
