Why switch to FORGE TRONIC?
 FORGE TRONIC electric press |  MECHANICAL press |  HYDRAULIC press |
| High production capacity Model VT - Up to 6000 pcs/stroke Model FT - Up to 4500 4pcs/stroke | Average production capacity Vertical press: just over 30 strokes x 3pcs = 5400 pcs/h Horizontal press: just over 30 strokes x 2pcs = 3600 pcs/h | - 20% production capacity compared to other presses |
| Lower energy consumption: Model VT - 20kW Model FT - 30kW High energy saving | Average energy consumption: 60/70 kW | High energy consumption: up to 150 kW The hydraulic technology requires the use of big pumps and therefore high energy consumption |
| Electrical technology = Repeatability and accuracy | Contour conditions affect pin positioning. The mechanics are not repeatable, they change a lot depending on the tooling. | Hydraulic technology does not have the precision of electrical technology. Temperature affects the characteristics of oil. |
| Edit positions in real time, while the machine is running. No downtime! High material savings! 100% process optimisation! | Any modification of a position results in machine downtime and retooling. Material waste (costs) 0% process optimisation | Position changes can be made in real time but are not as accurate |
| Absolute process control in real time through cycle analysis, possible thanks to electrical technology. | Not possible, one can only estimate a rough stress based on the deformation of the structure. | Not possible, hydraulic technology does not allow as accurate feedback as electrical technology. |
| - 50% setup time = only 30 min. | Long setup times | Medium-to-long setup times |
| Programming and emulation of the machine cycle with dedicated Cad Cam software (proprietary) | Does not have Cad Cam software | Does not have Cad Cam software |
| NO noise | medium-high noise level | medium-high noise level |
| ZERO positioning costs No special foundations! No need to drill or dig foundations The position can easily be changed. | 100% positioning costs Foundation work needed Extra costs and time Fixed position, cannot be changed. | Positioning costs could arise. No foundation works needed. |
