Pahnke GmbH

Our scope of supply includes all presses and manipulators for the open-die forging industry, with modern hydraulic drives and electronic control systems for automatic and programmed working between 5 MN to 185 MN.

For the open die forging industry, we plan complete systems. We check and organize forging programs, select the required machines, calculate production time and costs, and provide economic viability calculations.

We plan, develop, and design every closed die press according to the individual specifications and requirements of our customers. Our experience ranges from 20 MN to 350 MN press force, from a precisely regulated creep rate (0.1 mm/s) to press rates of 100 mm/s, from hot-isothermically pressed nickel alloys to meter-long aluminum parts for wide-bodied aircraft.
