1964–1968

The FAG Control 839 was an optimized version of the FAG Control 835. Since the FAG Control 835 has been developped in Singen, Germany and been produced in Singen first and later in Avenches, Switzerland, it had to be optimized for production in Avenches. Thats when they developped the FAG Control 839 in 1964 in Avenches. It was actually almost the same press in almost the same size as the C-835, just with some little adjustements for production.
Already in 1968, FAG made the next developement step to the FAG Control 900, which was a complete new press...

Please note: for all automatic presses (Control and Swiss Proof Models) it is critical to first identify the generation of the electrical controls: SF1, SF2, SF3 or SF4. Though the schemas might look similar—they are not. An SF3 schema won't be good to fix the electical controls of an SF4 press!
