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.

Benefits

The advantages of using a Locatelli Meccanica press, a machine different from the others.

Standard sizes: from 343 to 11.760 kN (35 – 1.200Tons) Costumer specific sizes on request;
7 guiding points on the upper table (ram), for perfect parallelism of the table;
Perfect control of the coin thickness, with exact control of pressure, timing, and position; No burr on the edge guaranteed;
Multiple pressing in a closed die, for full control of the metal flow;
Ramps of pressure: possibility to set the time to reach the set pressure (the operator decides this time, not the machine according to the metal’s resistance);
Safety for the die: alarms on double charging, wrong charging (by standard software), no charging (by option laser device);
A memory of thousands of programs, with alphanumeric names for an easy recall;
World wide access to the computer systems of the press for analytical diagnostics and subsequent fine-tuning of our software.
