About us

TOX® PRESSOTECHNIK is a supplier of presses, systems as well as components for sheet metal joining and assembly technology. Since its foundation in 1978, the family business has become a global player with around 1500 employees worldwide, approximately 500 of which are based at the headquarters in Weingarten near Ravensburg, Germany. The success story started with one pneumohydraulic drive – the TOX®-Powerpackage. The “Components” division now includes pneumohydraulic and electromechanical drives as well as controls, sensors and software for process monitoring and quality assurance. In addition to a large range of presses, the system range comprises manual, machine and robot tongs. Another mainstay are modern sheet metal joining procedures, also incorporating the TOX®-Clinching Technology, which makes the company today’s market leader.
TOX® PRESSOTECHNIK is represented worldwide: 17 subsidiaries, amongst others in the USA and South America, Europe and South Africa, India, China and the entire Pacific Region. 20 representatives in many other markets support and advise local customers.

TOX ElectricPowerDrive

TOX PRESSOTECHNIK has expanded its electromechanical joining modules with the TOX EdgeUnit and, in the process, renamed them TOX ElectricPowerDrive. This change is accompanied by new series designations. The TOX EdgeUnit serves as decentralized intelligence, featuring two digital inputs and outputs as well as two analog inputs. In addition to an integrated measuring amplifier (internal force sensor), it provides another for external force sensors, for example. Also integrated is a memory from which information such as maintenance and stroke counters, as well as drive type information, can be retrieved at any time, enabling automatic registration of the ElectricPowerDrive with the system. The TOX ElectricPowerDrive maintains constant communication with the TOX Power Module via a fast and stable EtherCAT connection. This compact controller supplies the power for the TOX ElectricPowerDrive. An external linear encoder can be connected as an option. It communicates via EtherCAT with the heart of the drive system – the TOX System Control. All information converges here, and the customer's data and control level is connected to the customer's PLC or robot via a flexible fieldbus. The user configures and parameters the process using TOX System Control. The system also stores all relevant data and forwards it to the server, for example, via Ethernet for quality assurance. The necessary programs, including those for visualization and diagnostics, are provided by TOX Software, which runs on the TOX System Control. TOX System Control is available in both control cabinet and screen-based versions.

TOX ProcessMonitor PMO

Focus on production: data, control and efficiency With the TOX® PMO (Process Monitor) and EPW 600 systems, TOX® is bringing new solutions for the end-to-end monitoring of production processes to the trade fair. Both systems enable precise recording and evaluation of process data in real time. They provide the basis for predictive maintenance and contribute to increasing process reliability and product quality. Thanks to their modular structure, the monitoring systems can be integrated into new systems as well as used to retrofit existing systems.

TOX FlexPress Compact

With the TOX FlexPress Compact, TOX PRESSOTECHNIK has developed a new standard press, which keeps an eye on the parameters itself. Not only the concept is new, but also the design. In addition to the now dominating color white, touches of green and magenta also uniquely identify the new standard press as having been built by TOX PRESSOTECHNIK, but lend it a more modern appearance at the same time. The compact manual workstation only takes up a footprint of 425 x 703 millimeters on a table. With the highly intuitive control, the user can create a new process with just a few clicks via the 13-inch UDI (Universal Data Interface) panel. This is important, as the standard press is flexible in terms of technology – its tools can quickly be changed for any technologies mastered by TOX, such as clinching, riveting or pressing in. For the first time the control cabinet is integrated into the press housing, thus reducing the space requirement of the table press. Quiet power in four designs The electromechanical drive TOX ElectricPowerDrive is positioned below a noise-reducing cover and drives the press with 5, 10, 30 or 60 kN depending on the version. The integrated sensors measure each process and transfer the data to the process monitoring. It evaluates the information, creates analyses and thus ensures traceability of each component. Safe operation is ensured by a quiet- and quick-acting electrical safety door – with a touch of magenta – as well as RGBW illumination of the work area: This lights up in red for failed parts and green if everything is in order. The new TOX FlexPress Compact with its integrated sensors and flexibility is ideally suited to applications requiring precision and tasks with small parts in small or serial assemblies. In short: Whenever changing components require replacement of tools and users want to record process and quality data seamlessly.
