Large-Format Press – An Investment in Precision and Performance

Strengthening Manufacturing Capabilities with the SICMI PMM 200 ME

We are pleased to announce that NTG has expanded its production capabilities with the addition of the SICMI PMM 200 ME hydraulic gantry straightening press.

Designed for straightening sheet metal, profiles, welded assemblies, and heavy metal components, the PMM 200 ME offers exceptional flexibility. Thanks to its gantry design, the press moves over the workpiece, making it ideal for processing large and heavy components with outstanding precision.

Key specifications:
🔹 Pressing force: 200 tons
🔹 Cylinder stroke: 500 mm
🔹 Table dimensions: 3,000 × 2,550 mm
🔹 Clear distance between uprights: 2,550 mm
🔹 Total weight: approx. 8,500 kg

By investing in the SICMI PMM 200 ME, NTG continues to strengthen its manufacturing capabilities, ensuring the highest levels of precision, quality, and efficiency for demanding industrial applications.

“New” Certification according to DIN 18800-7:2008-11 – Class E for NTG

With the manufacturer qualification according to DIN 18800-7, Class E, the so-called “Großer Eignungsnachweis” (major suitability qualification), it was confirmed at an early stage that we are qualified to manufacture demanding and safety-relevant steel structures.

The qualification level at the time included, among others:

  • ✔ Dynamically loaded structures, such as crane runways and cranes
  • ✔ Temporary structures, such as festival tents and amusement rides
  • ✔ Working and protective scaffolding
  • ✔ Structures made of high-strength and fine-grained structural steels

Although DIN 18800-7 has since been replaced by DIN EN 1090, this qualification remains an important testament to our extensive experience and expertise in structural steel construction.

The requirements of the former Class E correspond in many areas to today’s high execution classes EXC 3 and EXC 4.

Naturally, we also hold the relevant certifications according to DIN EN 1090 today.

For us, this certificate is far more than just a document. It represents quality, expertise, and responsibility – particularly when manufacturing demanding and safety-relevant steel structures.

Review of Extreme Optics Workshop (ExOp 2026) in Bukarest

Three inspiring days filled with insightful presentations, engaging discussions, and valuable new perspectives are behind us. We are delighted to look back on our participation in the Extreme Optics Workshop (ExOp 2026), held from June 15–17, 2026, at the ELI-NP research center in Măgurele, near Bucharest. 📍

The workshop brought together leading experts from academia and industry to discuss the latest advances in high-power laser systems, precision optics, and innovative manufacturing technologies. 🔎

As a specialist in ion beam technologies, precision optical machining, and customized special-purpose machinery, ExOp provided an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas with international experts on topics such as high-LIDT optics, plasma optics, nanolaminates, diffraction gratings, and next-generation optical solutions for extreme laser applications.

We were particularly pleased to see how closely the workshop topics aligned with the technologies and expertise that NTG has been developing for industrial and research applications for many years. The inspiring discussions and diverse perspectives once again highlighted the importance of close collaboration between science and industry in advancing the next generation of high-precision optical systems.

A sincere thank you to the organizers and all participants for an outstanding event, inspiring presentations, and many valuable conversations. We look forward to continuing these connections and contributing to the future of optics and laser technology together. 👏
