Profile: Strecon A/S is a developer and manufacturer of prestressing tool systems and hydraulic presses based on the strip winding technology. PTS is a new tool system developed for horizontal press machines and designed to substitute the standard tool system. PTS consists of a housing that is clamped directly to the press machine. The die set is preassembled before being inserted into PTS, and then a top lid is mounted at the front of PTS while providing axial prestressing to the die set. The forging die itself is radially prestressed by a high-strength stripwound container.
