One Press. Multiple Operations. Endless Research Potential.
Every R&D press is custom-built to match your specific research goals, whether you’re testing a single process or running complex, multi-stage experiments.
We design systems that integrate the level of automation, control and flexibility you need, with the ability to support multiple operations in one machine or automated cell.
The result: maximum research potential in a single, powerful platform.
The Durability of a Production Press. The Agility of an R&D Platform.
DUNKES’ R&D presses are built to the same standards as our full-scale production systems, delivering the durability, precision and performance needed for demanding research environments. That means less downtime, more accurate data and a longer service life, no matter how often you reconfigure or push the limits.
Let’s Design the Press System Your Operation Actually Needs.
