Presses are essential tools in various industries, from manufacturing to laboratory settings.
Understanding the different types of presses can help you choose the right one for your specific needs.
Here are five key types of presses explained:
5 Key Types Explained
1. H-Frame Press
The H-Frame Press is a large floor unit that includes a steel frame, a press cylinder, a pump, and a movable bolster.
It is commonly used in repair and maintenance facilities and on production lines for assembly.
H-frame presses can be paired with hand pumps, air pumps, or electric pumps depending on the application and the required force.
2. C-Frame Press
The C-frame press is designed for easy loading and unloading from the front or either side.
It is commonly used in various applications and can accommodate bench-top use.
3. CGB-Frame Press
This type of press features a low-profile design and is suitable for bench-top use.
It is often used in laboratory settings.
4. Manual Hydraulic Press
A manual hydraulic press utilizes a hand-operated lever to apply load to a sample.
The pressure is controlled by a mechanical lever that moves a piston in a cylinder containing hydraulic oil.
This type of press is suitable for smaller-scale applications and tasks that require manual control over the force applied.
5. Electric Hydraulic Press
Electric hydraulic presses are powered by an electric hydraulic pump.
They can come with or without LED touchscreens and custom programmable loads.
These presses offer programmable controls that allow for more accurate and consistent pressing according to specific requirements.
They are available in different sizes and configurations, including laboratory presses with two-columns or four-columns.
