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.
