Manual Worksta­tion

XMP Bench­Press­Unit

DSM offers modular complete systems for custo­mized indivi­dual worksta­tion solutions. Whether as a standa­lone unit for the workbench, with a base frame, or as a height-adjus­table version – the XMP Bench­Press­Unit adapts flexibly to your produc­tion requi­re­ments. All versions are optio­nally available with an electri­cally locked lifting door or safety light curtain.

Instantly ready — easy to operate with integrated DSM press-in techno­logy, compre­hen­sive process documen­ta­tion, and smart data communication.

The Bench­Press­Unit is designed for the powerful press-in units of the XMP series:
⟶ XMP 60 series (0.5 / 1 / 2 kN) and XMP 90 series (5 / 12.5 / 25 kN)
⟶ Optional multi-range calibra­tion for several force rangese
This ensures the right force range is available for every application.

Technical Insights

The XMP Bench­Press­Unit, featuring a 200 mm stroke, is a compact and modular manual worksta­tion designed for small-batch produc­tion, testing appli­ca­tions, and sample or proto­type assembly. With powerful confi­gu­ra­tions ranging from 0.1 to 25 kN and integrated safety features in accordance with Perfor­mance Level E, it enables efficient and reliable press-in processes.

The integrated MultiPro 3G control system provides intel­li­gent press-in strate­gies and advanced functions to support your specific requi­re­ments and custom process solutions.

Precision & Safety

  • The system offers two safety solutions for maximum operator protec­tion: an electri­cally locked lifting door that prevents access during the process and opens automa­ti­cally only after release, or a verti­cally aligned safety light curtain (ESPE) that reliably detects any intru­sion into the working area and immedia­tely stops the process

  • Two integrated signal lights clearly visua­lize the process status (OK, NOK, RUN)

  • Flexible force ranges from 0.1 to 25 kN with optional multi-range calibra­tion for changing press-in requirements

  • Compact design with all electronic compon­ents inclu­ding safety PLC – no external control cabinet required

Modular Design & Configurations

  • Available as a standa­lone bench-top unit, with base frame, or in a height-adjus­table version

  • Plunger stroke range : 200 mm – ideal for compon­ents and workpieces of varying heights

  • Inter­ch­an­geable clamping plate with T‑slot and centring bore, optio­nally custo­mised to your workpiece fixture

  • Compa­tible with press-in units of the XMP 60 series (0.5 / 1 / 2 kN) and XMP 90 series (5 / 12.5 / 25 kN)

  • Perfect for small-batch produc­tion, testing appli­ca­tions, and proto­type construction

  • Turnkey delivery – indivi­du­ally tailored to your process requirements

Integrated Control System

  • Control of product-specific sequences via the integrated MultiPro 3G, covering all process steps – multiple programs can be initiated

  • Process monito­ring: Recor­ding of force, stroke, and time profiles with complete data logging for quality documentation

  • Smart data commu­ni­ca­tion: Indus­trial inter­faces (inclu­ding OPC UA, Profinet, EtherCAT) enable seamless integra­tion into MES and plant manage­ment systems

  • Optional: 8″–19″ Windows tablet with MPEC software for advanced process control, operator guidance, and analysis – side-mounted and swivelable for optimal ergonomics

  • Operator panel mounted on the Bench­Press­Unit with buttons for emergency stop, acknow­ledgment, start, NOK reset, and process-specific functions – removable and ergono­mic­ally positionable

Multi-Range Calibra­tion

With the optional multi-range calibra­tion, you can flexibly use your press-in unit for appli­ca­tions with varying force requi­re­ments – while maintai­ning consis­t­ently high measu­re­ment accuracy.

Especi­ally for frequently changing processes or compo­nent variants, calibra­tion across multiple defined measu­re­ment points ensures reliable and precise results throug­hout the entire force range.

🔧 How it works:
Up to five measu­re­ment points are defined via a calibra­tion series using a reference trans­ducer. This allows force measu­re­ment to be speci­fi­cally adjusted to diffe­rent force levels within the press-in unit’s opera­ting range – for maximum precision from low to high forces.

Bench­Press­Unit: Lifting Door Version

The XMP Bench­Press­Unit with electri­cally locked lifting door combines maximum safety with ergonomic opera­tion.
During the press-in process, access to the work area remains securely locked – the lifting door only opens automa­ti­cally after release. This version is ideal for appli­ca­tions requi­ring a high level of protec­tion. Together with the integrated safety features and compact design, it creates an efficient manual worksta­tion that meets the highest standards of safety and user comfort.

Bench­Press­Unit: Light Curtain Version

The XMP Bench­Press­Unit with contact­less protec­tive device (ESPE) combines high safety with maximum efficiency.

A verti­cally positioned safety light curtain at the front monitors access to the working area – if the protec­tive field is inter­rupted during the process, the integrated safety PLC immedia­tely stops the system.

Since no safety door needs to be opened, this variant enables especi­ally fast, tool-free access.
Ideal for processes with frequent workpiece changes, where short setup times and ergonomic opera­tion are essen­tial. Its compact design, combined with integrated safety functions, makes it a reliable solution for deman­ding applications.
