Press machines are essential tools in various industries, from manufacturing to laboratory settings.
Understanding their classifications can help you choose the right machine for your needs.
Here’s a breakdown of the two main classifications of press machines.
What are the Two Classifications of Press Machines? (4 Key Points)
1. Hydraulic Presses
Hydraulic presses use hydraulic power to generate force.
They are classified based on the frame they are mounted on.
The most common types are the gap-frame (C-frame) and the straight-side press.
The gap-frame press has a movable bolster that moves within the frame.
The straight-side press has vertical columns on either side, eliminating angular deflection.
2. Mechanical Presses
Mechanical presses are operated by mechanical means, such as a crankshaft and flywheel.
They are classified based on their frame design.
One type is the H-frame press, which is a large floor unit.
It combines a steel frame, a press cylinder, a pump, and a movable bolster, forming an "H" shape.
H-frame presses are commonly used in repair and maintenance facilities and assembly lines.
3. Specific Press Machines
For specific applications like flush door pressing machines or hot press machines, there are usually two types: auto and manual.
Each type is designed for specific production techniques and methods.
Latest models often come with motor protection options, safety circuit breakers, and operation cycle timers.
4. Laboratory Presses
Laboratory presses are available in various designs, such as two-column or four-column.
They can be operated manually or automatically.
When choosing a laboratory press, consider factors like the force needed, available space, energy required, and mobility.
