A frame press is used for various pressing applications, such as assembly, bending, stamping, and straightening, by providing a strong and stable structure to hold the press components together. Different frame shapes, like bench, roll, and C-frame presses, are designed for specific tasks and accommodate different material sizes and volumes.
Bench frame presses are smaller and can be mounted to tabletops or workstations, often featuring hand pumps and removable cylinders. They are suitable for rapid assembly of bearings or other parts in facilities with higher-volume applications, as well as for lower-volume or smaller fabrication tasks like bending metal parts.
Roll frame presses, on the other hand, have a longer table to accommodate large materials and can either have the table or the press frame move, allowing for more precise pressing on large or complex materials. Operators typically use a forklift or an overhead lifting system to move materials onto the press, ensuring safety and proper alignment.
C-frame presses, also known as open gap frame presses, are versatile machines ideal for a wide range of applications. They feature a slim and compact design with a heavy welded and rib-reinforced frame body for maximum rigidity and low deflection, ensuring a stable working condition for accurate parts. The open C-frame construction offers multi-directional accessibility to the working area, making it convenient for die/tooling loading and maintenance, as well as parts removal.
All frame presses consist of a few basic components: a frame that holds the press together and provides strength, a table or bolster to support the material being pressed, a hydraulic steel cylinder or ram to apply force, and a pump that uses hydraulic fluid to create pressure that drives the cylinder. The specific design and configuration of the frame press depend on the application's requirements and the materials being processed.
