Promess Incorporated will introduce the M-Series press system and UltraPRO 2 control platform at IMTS 2026, McCormick Place, Chicago, September 14-19, 2026.
Promess, founded in 1984 and based in Brighton, Michigan, designs and manufactures assembly press and torque systems used by manufacturers to monitor and control the quality of their assembly processes. The company introduced the first servo-electric assembly press in the late 1990s and has served the global manufacturing industry across automotive, aerospace, medical, defense, and general industrial markets since.
The M-Series and UltraPRO 2 are designed to reduce the time and complexity involved in getting a Promess system into production. Component replacement no longer requires manual recalibration — the system stores its own calibration data and recovers after a swap. Installation requires fewer cables and fewer connections than prior-generation systems. And because the new control platform is built from independently modifiable software, Promess can respond to application-specific needs faster than was possible under the previous architecture.
The M-Series also gives Promess a cleaner product line to grow from. The modular Cartridge that defines the new system is designed to expand over time, covering additional press force ranges and, in development now, a torque variant that will bring the functionality of the Promess TorquePRO to the new platform.
For manufacturers already running Promess equipment, UltraPRO 2 is designed to be familiar. The operating environment carries forward from the first-generation UltraPRO, which remains fully supported and available. The new platform is the foundation for future Promess product development, including capabilities not yet at launch.
Three M-Series configurations will be on display at Promess Booth 236615 at IMTS. First customer shipments are expected in Q1 2027.
