Minting Presses

Locatelli Meccanica oil-hydraulic presses are specifically designed for the Minting of collector coins and medals in PROOF quality, including applications requiring high-relief detailing, as well as for the sizing of preformed workpieces.

The “multiple pressing” function enables the controlled build-up and reduction of pressing force through repeated cycles without reopening the tooling. This ensures optimal coining results, with high definition and precision, while eliminating the risk of image doubling.

For the production of high-quality coins, the presses can be integrated with a fully automated handling system, including a blank magazine, robotic or suction-cup-based transfer systems, and an electromechanically positioned deposit tray.

The press is equipped with comprehensive noise insulation, making it suitable for installation in noise-sensitive environments, including those with clean-room requirements.

The sizing process performed on these presses yields superior surface finishes and high dimensional accuracy, while maintaining the integrity of the material’s fibrous structure. This contributes to cost-effective and intensive usage of the equipment over time.

Ease of operation is ensured by the 15″ color touch-screen HMI, which features intuitive user-friendly software. Additionally, the built-in Ethernet interface enables seamless integration with production management systems, ensuring maximum efficiency, monitoring, and connectivity.
