A C frame press, also known as an open gap frame press, is a type of hydraulic press machine characterized by its C-shaped frame and versatile applications.
It is commonly used for tasks such as straightening, assembling, bending, stamping, riveting, and press-fit operations.
The design of a C frame press allows for multi-directional accessibility to the working area, making it convenient for tooling loading, maintenance, and parts removal.
What is a C Frame Press? 5 Key Features Explained
1. Design and Structure
The C frame press features a welded steel framework, which is heavy and rib-reinforced to provide maximum rigidity and minimal deflection.
This ensures a stable working condition for accurate parts processing.
The C-like shape of the frame allows for an open front, which is crucial for easy part loading and unloading.
2. Applications
These presses are versatile and can be used for a wide range of applications such as metal stamping, bending, flanging, straightening, drawing, calibration, stamping installation, powder forming, embossing, and stamping forming processes.
The ability to adjust pressure according to specific process requirements enhances their utility across different industries.
3. Features and Customization
Kintek's C frame presses are available in various sizes, ranging from 1-50 tons, with custom options up to 100 tons.
They are bead-blasted, normalized, primed, painted, and designed to hold minimal deflection at full load, which is essential for precision in assembly operations.
The presses are also equipped with force and position transducers, allowing for precise closed-loop control of distance and force, and real-time quality evaluation.
4. Accessibility and Maintenance
The open C-frame construction not only aids in the ease of part handling but also simplifies maintenance and tooling adjustments.
This design feature is particularly beneficial in environments where frequent tool changes or part adjustments are required.
5. Safety and Standards
All C frame presses from Kintek meet current safety requirements, ensuring that they are safe for use in industrial settings.
The robust construction and adherence to quality standards also promise years of maintenance-free and reliable operation.
