The French® Vision® Series laboratory hydraulic press from French Oil Mill Machinery Co. delivers precise control, durability, and repeatable performance for testing and product development. Each press provides exceptional accuracy for compression molding, composite testing, and R&D applications. As a result, laboratories achieve higher consistency and reliable traceability across every test cycle.
Precision and Performance for Research and Material Testing
Our laboratory hydraulic press systems include heavy‑duty welded frames, precision‑machined platens, and advanced control options. Press capacities range from compact lab models to full‑scale development units reaching 150 tons. In addition, every press in the Vision® Series is engineered and built in the USA. With more than a century of engineering expertise, French ensures lasting performance and low long‑term cost of ownership.
Intelligence, Control, and Customization
The Vision® control system enhances efficiency and data accuracy. For instance, operators can use touchscreen PLC interfaces to adjust temperature, tonnage, pressure, and position with ease. Furthermore, automatic heating and cooling controls simplify operation. Because each laboratory hydraulic press can be customized for particular materials and test parameters, research teams can replicate production conditions at pilot scale.
Engineered Support and Real‑World Reliability
Every Vision® Series press reflects French’s long‑standing commitment to durability and productivity. Quick‑change mold setups and automated platen alignment help minimize downtime. Moreover, our engineering and service teams provide technical support and maintenance guidance that extend the life of every press.
