4H-750
Horizontal deep draw press, fully integrated with two 6-Axis robots and auxiliary systems to produce a heavy-duty high pressure cylinder tank. The horizontal four-post gib-guided press has a 750-ton cylinder main ram with a 350-ton cushion. A 9 foot by 9 foot working area that allows for 6 foot diameter blanks to be processed. A maximum open distance of 15 feet accommodates a wide range of product lengths and tooling configurations.
Equipped with a powerful control system featuring user-friendly touch screen functions and set-up parameters. The programmed draws can vary the ram speed and tonnage throughout the stroke. Robots synchronize velocity with press movements to improve quality and maximize productivity. The production cell is controlled from a single workstation with programmed recipes enabling rapid product changeover.
Indirect Extrusion Line
This line produces parts automatically from a roll of aluminum wire. The wire is first straightened and cut into slugs of the appropriate size. These slugs then move to two parallel lines in which they are shaped into the final product through four different stations. While running at full speed, this machine can produce more than sixty parts a minute without the need for any human intervention.
SSGG-300-52R
This line, consisting of two, 300 ton gib guided straight side presses, and four hydraulically actuated lift tables, and two servo driven shuttle arms, is designed to autonomously punch holes in I-beams. Each press can punch up to 6 holes at a time and punch through beams as thick as ¾”. Beams are monitored throughout the line, ensuring both safety and efficiency. Using a high performance HMI, operators are able to monitor and control the entire line from a single console. Pre-programmed recipes mean that all an operator has to do is choose the job that is being run and load I-beams into the designated loading area. From then on, the line works completely automatically to punch the holes, perform quality checks, and dispose of scrap material.
4D-562
With deep draw applications like this one, finely controlling the force applied to the material and the draw speed are critical to reliably producing quality parts. This press produces hundreds of pots and pans every hour. With the electronic controls installed in this press, each product line will have its own recipe to control the speed, force, and stroke of the press. Thousands of times a second, the press checks the various sensors installed on it and modulates the hydraulic controls to maintain the correct speed and pressure, ensuring a quality part every time.
GG-800-60×40-75RPRE
This application involved an 800-ton Gib Guided press for trimming Forgings that have just come out of a 6,000-ton Closed Die Forging press. Trimming of the forgings ensured part consistency for later machining operations requiring a homogenous outline for proper fit in the Machining Fixture. The daylight and stroke requirements of this application made it a perfect fit for a hydraulic press over a mechanical press. Hydraulic press builders fabricate their frames to suit the customers’ needs unlike a mechanical frame that very often are castings that are not easily adaptable to a change in frame specifications. This press replaced an old Mechanical Press. Due to the ability to shorten the stroke length of the new Hydraulic press, the cycle time was reduced as much as 30% on jobs currently being run.
