Precise press-fit technology developed by GEFASOFT
GCell PressFit
With GCell PressFit technology, GEFASOFT offers a reliable alternative to conventional soldering for connecting high-pin-count connector housings to printed circuit boards.
The PressFit process enables a durable and vibration-proof electrical connection—entirely without thermal stress on the assembly. This makes the technology particularly suitable for demanding applications in automotive, industrial electronics, and automation technology.
Thanks to modular system concepts, flexible tooling technology, and integrated process monitoring, GCell PressFit offers an economical and future-proof solution for modern manufacturing processes.

Advantages of GCell PressFit technology
TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS
- Durable and vibration-proof connection
- No thermal stress on the assembly
- High process reliability through force-displacement monitoring
- Flexible tooling concepts for different product variants
- Short cycle times through high-precision rotary indexing systems
- Easy integration into automated production lines
- Achievable press-in forces from 1 – 60 kN (> 60 kN on request)
Durable connection without soldering process
FUNCTIONAL PRINCIPLE OF THE
GCELL PRESSFIT
In the PressFit process, the pins of a connector strip are pressed into metallized PCB holes in a controlled manner. The targeted deformation of the press-fit zone creates a form-fitting, mechanically stable, and electrically conductive connection between the connector and the circuit board.
In contrast to classic soldering, contacting takes place without heat input. This protects sensitive electronic components and achieves high long-term stability of the connection.

Modular machine solution
FLEXIBLE SYSTEM CONCEPT
GCell PressFit technology is available both as an integrable servo press module and as a complete press cell.
Depending on the requirements, systems can be individually designed for component sizes, quantities, and degrees of automation. The integration of robotics solutions is also possible without any problems.
A GCell PressFit cell in the basic configuration starts at approx. €150,000. The final price depends on individual requirements regarding the degree of automation, tooling concept, and cycle time.
