Presses
What is press machinery and what are presses used for?
Press machinery is a part of the manufacturing process for industries, including automotive, construction, and aerospace amongst others. Press machines are used to shape and form materials into the desired shape and size. They are used for everything from stamping metal parts to creating 3D shapes. One of the most common types of press machinery is the hydraulic press. Hydraulic presses use hydraulics to apply pressure to a metal or plastic, causing it to deform into the desired shape. Hydraulic presses are widely used in the automotive industry to create complex metal parts such as engine blocks, body panels, and chassis components. They are also used to create precision components for aircraft engines and structures.
What's the future of press machinery?
Demand has grown for more advanced press machinery, particularly in the area of automation. Automated press machinery is designed to reduce labour costs and increase production efficiency by integrating advanced technologies such as robotics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. These technologies enable press machines to perform complex tasks with a high degree of accuracy and precision, reducing the risk of human error and improving overall production quality. One example of advanced press machinery is the servo press. Servo presses use advanced servo motors to precisely control the speed and force of the press stroke, allowing for greater control over the deformation process. Servo presses are commonly used in the production of high-precision parts, such as those used in the aerospace and medical device industries.
