The applications of presses, specifically hydraulic presses, are extensive and varied. Some common applications include forging, clinching, molding, blanking, punching, deep drawing, and metal forming operations. These presses are also used for stretch forming, rubber pad forming, and powder compacting.
In addition to these applications, hydraulic presses are used in a wide range of industries for different purposes. They are commonly used in the aerospace and automotive industry for light-weighting applications, such as Thermoplastics, Composites, SMC Sheet Molded Composites, RTM Resin Transfer Molding, GMT Glass Mat Transfer, and Carbon Fiber Molding. These applications require precise control and repeatability.
Other industries that utilize hydraulic presses include pharmaceuticals, explosives, chemicals, food, nuclear fuel, and ferrites. In the pharmaceutical industry, hydraulic presses are used for various processes such as pill making and laminating. They are also used in laboratories for tasks like preparing sample pellets for analysis in infrared spectroscopy, briquetting inorganic samples for x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, and pressing thin polymer films using heated platens for transmission sampling by IR spectroscopy.
Overall, hydraulic presses are essential in applications where materials need to be pressed or separated. They are efficient in applying substantial compressive forces to straighten, bend, stamp, or flatten billets into desired shapes. Hydraulic systems are preferred due to their ability to transmit power efficiently with relatively few moving parts, making them easier to maintain. They can apply higher pressures compared to pneumatic systems, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial, engineering, and scientific applications.
