Power Press 50 Ton

Power presses that shear, punch, form, or assemble metal or other material by means of tools or dies attached to slides. Power presses can be mechanical, hydraulic or pneumatic. In mechanical power presses, tools and dies are mounted on a slide or ram, and move away from the stationary bed containing the lower die.It is guided in the frame of the machine — either a “C” frame [open back inclined (OBI)] or straight side frame — to give a definite path of motion. The two most common types of power presses are mechanically and hydraulically powered.The distance above BDC where a slider-crank press reaches its full capacity is called the rating point. The rating point also is considered to be one of the main criteria for press selection.
