New research press for ALCAN
04/04/08
ALCAN INTERNATIONAL has recently awarded INTOCO and Kelly Control Systems of Gloucester, England, the contract to design and build a new 850-ton aluminium extrusion press for their Research and development centre in Kingston, Canada.
The advanced specification of this press required a state-of-the-art electrical and hydraulic control system. The machine is required to simulate all possible extrusion process conditions encountered by Alcan billet throughout the world.
