EVENT RECAP · 20–23 OCTOBER 2026
EuroBLECH 2026
HAN SAE International’s technology partners ANDRITZ Kaiser, DREHER Automation, FAGOR Arrasate and WEIL Technology exhibited at EuroBLECH 2026, held in Hannover, Germany, on 20–23 October.
Revisit the technologies featured in their exhibition materials, from forming and automation to laser welding and integrated production.
ANDRITZ KAISER
Inspired by nature.
Perfected for stamping.
Designing the next generation of metal forming.
A drive integrated directly into the flywheel. A main frame inspired by nature. These were the new approaches to mechanical press design featured by ANDRITZ Kaiser.
Direct drive for flywheel presses
A compact torque motor is integrated directly into the flywheel, eliminating the need for a separate motor bracket and belt drive. During die setup and trial runs, a handwheel allows precise low-speed operation, similar to a servo press. Reducing repeated inching also minimizes clutch wear.
A bio-inspired main frame
Inspired by natural structures, the KAISER press frame increases rigidity while reducing unnecessary material use. Its resource-efficient design combines a focus on sustainability with high dynamic performance.
DREHER AUTOMATION
New solutions for press automation.
DREHER Automation presented developments in press automation across the sheet-metal process chain. Its exhibition materials explored production challenges and future equipment requirements.
From today’s production to a sustainable future.
From current applications to ideas for a sustainable future, DREHER supports you through the technological challenges of your press shop.
FAGOR ARRASATE
From coil to stack. One production flow.
Fagor Arrasate presented a fully integrated rotor and stator lamination solution covering the entire Coil-to-Stack process. It combines E-Slitter, laser blanking from coil, conventional or servo-mechanical presses and high-speed lamination presses with automation in one production line.
The approach goes beyond individual machines, bringing together process stability and support for reliable integration. It focuses on greater productivity, precision and consistent quality with less dependence on specialist personnel—reducing scrap and monitoring effort while ensuring repeatable results at high speeds.
Official exhibition materialsWEIL TECHNOLOGY
New manufacturing possibilities with laser technology.
WEIL Technology featured laser welding and cutting, automated tube and vessel production, and manufacturing solutions for battery cooling plates and bipolar plates.
