By pairing proven press structures with I-PRESS® & Automation and four-corner level monitoring, teams gain predictable process windows across jobs and shifts. The results are measurable: better laminate thickness control, cleaner fiber architecture, and repeatable consolidation,even when tools run hot and loads.

Whirlpool’s Michigan R&D Center needed a full capability, 400-ton servo hydraulic press to support rapid prototyping, tooling trials, and material development—inside a lab bay capped at just 14 feet of ceiling height.
