The WKP 5 000 S is a high-precision hydraulic press specifically designed for the development of thermoforming and consolidation processes. Equipped with thermal oil-heated press platens, it offers exceptionally accurate temperature control of ±0.5K – even at platen temperatures of up to 410°C and heating rates of 20K/min.
To ensure maximum process speed, a high-speed handling system rapidly transfers the clamping frame including the blank from the infrared oven into the press. From the moment it leaves the oven to the complete closure of the press, less than 3 seconds elapse – making it ideal for dynamic process workflows in research and development.
