Interlaken s Hydroforming Press provides closed loop control of forces, motions and
pressures to produce high quality parts. Sophisticated controller software allows users to
develop complex force, motion and pressure profiles that can be both time and event
dependent. Interlaken s Hydroforming Press was designed to embrace both tube and sheet
hydroforming applications.

Production Mode
Runs optimized process
Monitors and records process variables
Complete Control of Process
ProfileBuilder software builds motion and force
profiles using ramp, sine, dwell and other
segments
Control profiles can be time or event dependent
Control of multi-channel systems can be driven
by events that occur on other axes or
measurement channels
