What is custom 4-post hydraulic press
A custom 4-post hydraulic press is a press that uses hydraulic power. The four-post refers to a structure of the press, which offers advantages such as stability, wide applicability, operational flexibility, and high load-bearing capacity.
Customizable parts
- Nominal force
- Daylight
- Working table area
- Safety component
- Power supply
- Power unit
- Control and hydraulic system
- Control panel
- Automation interface
- And so on
Requirement definition
If you need custom 4-post hydraulic press, you need to clarify the following requirement:
- What is the processing material? (Cardboard? Metal sheet? Powder? Composite material?)
- What is the machine’s bed area, and what is the machine’s daylight? (Determined by the dimensions of the workpiece and die)
- What nominal force is required? (Calculated based on die and material, usually with safety factor such as 1.2–1.5 times.)
- What is the core process? (Die-cutting? Deep drawing? Powder compacting? Stamping? Assembly?)
- Standard motor or servo motor? (Servo motor is relatively more energy-saving.)
Application range
- Die cutting: such as puzzle cutting machine
- Hot pressing: such as heated platen press
- Deep drawing
- Embossing: such as coining press
- Trimming: such as trimming pres
- Powder Compacting Press Machine
Structural breakdown
- Upper beam: Install main hydraulic cylinder and filling system.
- Lower beam: used for mounting the lower die, ejector cylinder, or bolster plate.
- Slide (moving beam): Install upper die. Driven by the main cylinder, it moves up and down guided by four column. Guide bushing and wear plate are installed between slide and column to ensure motion accuracy.
- Four column: The core load-bearing components, bearing all the tensile force during operation. Their strength and precision directly determine the stability and lifespan of the entire machine.
- Hydraulic system: Including pump, valve, oil tank, piping, and cooling system. It is the “heart” and “nerve” of equipment.
- Electrical Control System: Controls the actions of the hydraulic system to achieve precise adjustment of pressure, speed, and stroke.
Structural feature
4-post hydraulic press has following feature:
- Large working table area.
- Good rigidity, uniform force application, and reasonable load distribution.
- Multi-side feeding, flexible operation.
- High tonnage, up to several thousand tons.
- Easy maintenance and low maintenance cost.
Conclusion
As important equipment in the manufacturing industry, the 4-post hydraulic press, with its reasonable structure, strong adaptability, and wide application, has become an indispensable core machine in fields such as die-cutting, deep drawing, metal forming, and powder metallurgy.
Custom solution for different processing scenario of enterprise is becoming increasingly mature. Custom 4-post hydraulic press is not only equipment, but also key step to improve yield rate and productivity.
