Maybe you’re tight on lab space. Maybe you’re tired of retrofitting off-the-shelf machinery that was never designed for academic use. That’s where a custom lab hydraulic press makes all the difference. Our press systems are built to consolidate functionality, support data collection and deliver the precision your research demands, all in a compact, lab-ready footprint.
If you’re looking for a research-grade hydraulic press that adapts to your evolving academic goals, you’re in the right place.
Whether you’re prototyping aerospace components, studying deformation in lightweight alloys, or developing new forming methods for advanced materials, your equipment shouldn’t limit what’s possible. Our servo and hydraulic lab presses support a wide range of academic research goals, including:
Our university press systems are available in a wide range of force capacities and configurations. Whether you’re outfitting a new lab or upgrading existing equipment, we’ll engineer a press that fits your needs and your space.
Every Macrodyne press is designed to your specs: force, stroke, bed size, tooling, controls, and more.
Run forming experiments, material tests, and prototyping projects on a single platform. Ideal for shared labs and cross-departmental use.
Our servo hydraulic press systems deliver highly accurate force control, programmable motion profiles, and built-in data logging, which is ideal for research environments where repeatability matters. Conventional hydraulic options can also be tailored with advanced controls for consistent, lab-grade results.
Easily integrate your press with existing DAQ systems, lab software, or PLCs. Need help? Our engineers speak “academic tech.”
Advanced safety guarding, dual-mode controls, and remote monitoring options make our systems classroom- and training-ready, without compromising performance.
From commissioning to remote diagnostics and future retooling, we’re here for the long haul. We understand academic timelines and budgets.
Top universities across North America rely on Macrodyne presses to power their research, train future engineers, and push the limits of innovation.
Planning a new lab? Upgrading equipment? Or just figuring out what’s possible? Let’s talk. Our engineers can help you spec the right system for your research goals, timeline and space.
