Why Hydraulico
We design defense systems around the part, material, and process, from standalone forging presses to integrated production lines.
Solutions can include sandwich, monoblock, or tie-rod frames; servo-hydraulic or conventional drives; multiple forming axes; optimized lubricating and heating solutions; temperature control; moving bolsters; ejectors; quick die change systems; additional hydraulic outlets; automated handling; and integrated controls to support stable, efficient production and rapid ROI.
We also have experience with exotic and high-performance materials used in defense manufacturing. These materials place unique demands on the forging process, so we engineer each system to protect part quality, maintain process consistency, and support reliable, traceable production for critical applications.
System Capabilities
Hydraulico has experience supporting medium and large caliber munitions production lines and related defense manufacturing systems.
These projects require more than press capacity alone—they require coordinated production flow, robust material handling, seamless documentation of process know-how, and integration across multiple process stages.
Our advanced monitoring reduces scrap and rework, while automated handling and lights-out capabilities help defense manufacturers maximize uptime, streamline workflows, and meet time-critical schedules with confidence.
