Third Press Has Aircraft Subsidiary on Track to Become a Fluid Cell Forming Center of Excellence
January 22, 2025Comments
With its order for an additional Flexform fluid-cell press from Quintus Technologies, Piper Industrial Manufacturing Company (PIMCO) is expanding its equipment inventory to mirror the growing demand for low-volume, complex sheet metal forming. PIMCO, a Piper Aircraft, Inc., subsidiary, selected the Quintus model QFC 1.2x4-1000 press to add to its equipment lineup, which already includes two Quintus fluid-cell presses installed earlier in the decade, along with laser-cutting machines, 3D printers and CNC milling machines.
The new press generates a press force of 73,000 tons across the entire forming area of 47.2 by 157.5 in. and includes remote system control and a high degree of self-diagnostics. It is slated for delivery during Q4 2025.
