FACCIN FB 3D Forming Portal Press for Shipbuilding

The Faccin PPS is a portal press specifically designed for advanced 3D forming of shipbuilding plates, with capacities from 200 to 3,000+ tons.

The PPS is a versatile forming platform built around a master cylinder and designed to perform multiple operations on a single machine. By accommodating different tooling configurations, it can carry out bending, stretching, rolling, and corrective forming of plates and profiles.

The exclusive HPT structural design, combined with advanced electronic and hydraulic controls, ensures structural stability, precise positioning and long-term reliability.

Advanced monitoring and data collection systems enable greater process control and production efficiency. The PPS can also be integrated with controlled crane handling systems to support automated production and material handling operations.

The entire PPS engineering and manufacturing process is managed in-house and subject to strict controls.
