Manufacturers seeking consistency and efficiency across diverse press operations are increasingly turning to integrated control solutions. The complete I-PRESS® family of press controls answers this demand by delivering a unified, scalable platform that spans mechanical, servo hydraulic, hot heading, and forging presses. By standardizing operation, training, and support, the system helps pressrooms reduce complexity while improving uptime and productivity.
Purpose-built solutions within the I-PRESS portfolio address the unique demands of servo hydraulic technology. The I-PRESS ECO® and I-PRESS HYDRO® controls are engineered to provide both performance and efficiency in high-precision forming environments.
Mechanical press operations benefit from the reliability and flexibility of I-PRESS MINI® and I-PRESS AB PLUS®. These high-performance controls are widely used on new machines and as upgrades for existing stamping lines, allowing manufacturers to modernize without disrupting established production workflows.
Forging applications require controls that can withstand extreme conditions while maintaining accuracy and safety. I-PRESS FORGE® is specifically designed for hot, warm, and cold forging presses, offering advanced capabilities tailored to these environments.
Safety is a foundational element across all I-PRESS platforms. The architecture supports configurable safety levels and incorporates safety PLCs, light curtain integration, and safety-rated motion control. These features ensure compliance with OSHA, ANSI, and ISO press safety standards, helping manufacturers protect operators while meeting regulatory requirements.
Beyond new installations, the I-PRESS family is particularly well suited for press control retrofits. By extending the life of mechanical and forging presses, manufacturers can improve reliability and performance while adding modern safety features, without the cost of full press replacement.
To safeguard presses, tooling, and personnel, I-PRESS controls provide comprehensive real-time monitoring and diagnostics. These capabilities help prevent failures before they occur and support faster troubleshooting.
As smart manufacturing initiatives accelerate, connectivity has become essential. The I-PRESS platform is Industry 4.0 ready, offering production data logging, remote diagnostics, and seamless integration with plant MES and quality systems. This connectivity enables smarter decision-making and more transparent operations across the pressroom.
With its broad applicability, advanced safety, and digital readiness, the I-PRESS® family represents a significant step forward in press control technology. By unifying diverse press types under a single, scalable platform, it sets a new standard for efficiency, safety, and connectivity in modern manufacturing environments.
