Hydraulic presses from Wickert for the manufacture of safety-related components in the defense industry
Years of experience
Landau/Germany, 5 March 2025. Wickert Maschinenbau considers itself well positioned for the manufacture of safety-related components in the defense industry. For many years, the German family-owned company has been developing and manufacturing complete systems consisting of hydraulic composite presses with automated loading and unloading and efficient temperature control for customers in the defense sector.
Steve Büchner, sales engineer, emphasizes: "We have earned the long-standing trust of customers in the defense sector, who manufacture complex safety-critical components on our high-precision press systems."
Wide range of applications
The systems can be used to process numerous thermosets and thermoplastics. These include, for example, fiber-reinforced high-performance composite materials such as aramids and high-performance polyethylenes such as PEEK, PTFE, and UHMWPE (ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene). They are often heated together with glass, ceramic, and metal fibers made of aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, boron carbide, aluminum, and armored steel in composite presses and pressed into fiber composite panels.
Customers use Wickert's press systems to manufacture armor for protecting civilian and military vehicles, ships, and aircraft from gunfire, - including for military and civilian vehicles, aircraft, and ships. The systems are equally suitable for the production of ballistic protection plates for personal protection, such as helmets and shields.
