Applications: Versatile Solutions for a Wide Range of Industries

Our hydraulic press solutions cater to a broad spectrum of applications, including:

1. Assembly: Fastening two or more parts together using various types of assembly dies, such as press fitting, staking, curling, seaming, and riveting.

2. Compressing Transformer Coils: A critical process in the transformer manufacturing industry, where the coils are compressed to achieve the desired compression ratio and electrical performance.

3. Bending: Work performed by the punch pushing the stock into a cavity or depression of a corresponding shape, allowing for precise bends in various materials.

4. Blanking: The shearing or cutting of outside contours or shapes, called blanks, out of sheet or strip stock, enabling the efficient production of parts with intricate shapes.

5. Broaching: A machine cutting process that uses a bar-shaped cutting tool with a series of graduated cutting edges along its length. This process is ideal for cutting keyways, splines, and other complex shapes.

6. Bulging: The process of increasing the diameter of a cylindrical shell or expanding the outer walls of any shell or box shape, which finds applications in various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and appliances.

7. Clamping: A means of holding metal together for various purposes by applying pressure through two surfaces, ensuring precise alignment and secure holding during further manufacturing processes.

8. Coining: A squeezing operation, usually performed cold in a closed die, which forces the metal to flow and fill the shape and profile of the dies. This process is commonly used for creating intricate shapes and patterns on metal parts.

9. Compacting: The production of objects by compressing individual, mixed, or alloyed metal powders, enabling the creation of complex shapes and geometries.

10. Compression Molding: A process that uses a premanufactured material or charge that is pressed to shape and cured during the molding operation, resulting in a finished part with consistent dimensions and properties.

11. Cutoff: The operation where the part is removed from the strip, allowing for the efficient production of individual parts or components.

12. Deep Drawing: Forming of deep recessed parts from sheet material by means of plastic flow of the material worked in presses and dies, resulting in precise and intricate shapes for various industries.

13. Die Spotting: A process used in the final finishing of dies to indicate spot inaccuracies and test mating and functioning of die parts, ensuring optimal die performance and longevity.

14. Drawing: A variety of forming operations, including deep draw and redrawing a tubular part, enabling the creation of complex shapes and geometries for various applications.
