Foundry Machine Works · Ningbo, China
ISO 9001:2015 · CE · Est. 1988
Presses, gantries and robots — built to run for decades.
Foundry Machine Works engineers hydraulic press lines, five-face gantry centers and robotic welding cells for manufacturers on five continents — with the tooling, retrofits and spare parts to keep them earning.

Machine program
Six series. One control philosophy.
Every series shares the same PLC platform, hydraulic blocks and spare-parts catalog — so a mixed line is one phone call, not five.
Series FMW-P
Hydraulic press lines
Four-column and H-frame presses for deep drawing, blanking and coining — delivered as single machines or synchronized tandem lines.
110–1,600 T
Cycle 6–14 s
Lead 120 days
Series FMW-B
CNC press brakes
Servo-electric and hybrid brakes with 8-axis back gauges, crowning tables and first-article tooling included in every delivery.
63–400 T
3.2–6.0 m bed
±0.15 mm
Series FMW-G
Gantry machining centers
Five-face machining for machine frames, mold bases and wind-power hubs — thermal compensation and laser calibration standard.
X-travel 4–12 m
±0.01 mm
32 t table load
Series FMW-R
Robotic welding cells
Six-axis cells with seam tracking, two-station positioners and fume extraction — fenced, light-curtained and CE-documented.
2.8 m reach
±0.05 mm repeat
MOQ 1 cell
Series FMW-L
Heavy CNC lathes
Flat-bed and vertical lathes for shafts, rings and flanges — hardened box ways, 12-station turrets and live C-axis tooling.
Swing 660–2,500 mm
12-station turret
C-axis standard
Series FMW-A
Line automation
Press-to-press transfers, destackers and conveyors that bolt onto our presses — or retrofit onto the ones you already run.
30 m/min
PLC + HMI
Retrofit-ready
The plant
Built in Ningbo. Proven everywhere.
42,000 m²
Covered production floor across two sites

Machinists, welders and controls engineers
60 sets
Monthly machine capacity at full shift load
3 bays
Assembly halls under 50-tonne overhead cranes
Industries served
Where our iron earns its keep
Automotive stamping
Tandem lines and transfer presses for body panels, brackets and EV battery trays — 240+ press lines fielded.
Construction & agri equipment
Gantry-machined booms, counterweights and axle housings for excavator and tractor OEMs across three continents.
Rail, marine & energy
Wind-tower flanges, bogie frames and hull sections machined and welded to class-society documentation.
Job shops & fabricators
Press brakes and lathes sized for contract work — one machine, standard tooling, financed lead times.
Automation & retrofit
Old iron. New nervous system.
A press frame outlives its controls three times over. Our retrofit crews rebuild hydraulics, wire modern safety and hand back a machine that cycles faster than the day it shipped — at a third of replacement cost.
- Servo pumps and drives — energy draw down 40%
- PLC and HMI migration with source code handed over
- Light curtains, interlocks and full CE safety package
- Quick-die-change tables and robotic tending cells
How we work
From RFQ to running line
01
RFQ & feasibility
Send drawings or part samples. We confirm tonnage, bed size and takt time within 48 hours.
02
Proposal & contract
Fixed quotation with layout drawing, delivery plan and payment terms — T/T or L/C at sight.
03
Build & machining
Frames stress-relieved and machined in-house on 12 m gantries, with QC gates at every subassembly.
04
FAT & shipping
Witness the run-off in person or by video, then we crate to ISPM-15 and ship FOB or CIF worldwide.
05
Commission & train
Our engineers level, wire and hand over on your floor — then train your operators and maintenance crew.
Certified for export
ISO 9001:2015
CE 2006/42/EC
ISO 14001
EAC
SGS FAT witnessed
Every machine ships with its FAT report, CE technical file, hydraulic diagrams and a spare-parts manifest — in English, on paper and USB.
Operator reports
Read the hour meters, not the brochure
“The 800-tonne line has logged 22,000 hours at 99.2 percent availability. When a valve block failed in year four, the replacement landed in three days — with the fitter a day behind it.”
Marek Ostrowski — Plant Director, Vistula Metalforming, Poland
“FMW retrofitted our 1998 press with servo drives and a new safety package. Cycle time dropped 18 percent, energy use fell by a third, and the CE audit passed first time.”
Rachel Donnelly — VP Manufacturing, Cascadia Trailer Group, USA
Service & spare parts
A machine is a promise. We keep it.
48-hour parts dispatch
Wear parts for every series shipped since 1998 stay on the shelf — dispatched from Ningbo or the Rotterdam depot within 48 hours of your order.
Field commissioning
Our engineers level, align and run off your machine on site — 40+ countries visited last year, operator training included in every contract.
Remote diagnostics
Every control cabinet ships with a secure VPN module. Our support desk reads drive data and fault logs before you finish the phone call.
Request for quotation
Send your RFQ. Get a machine proposal in 48 hours.
Drawings, tonnage, takt time — whatever you have. An engineer replies with a layout, a specification and a fixed quotation.
