    Hydraulic Vs Mechanical

    Uploaded by

    Sumit Arora
    The document compares hydraulic presses and mechanical presses. Hydraulic presses can precisely control forming speed and blankholder force throughout the stroke and provide programmable impact and dwell times. They are well-suited for low-to-medium batch sizes and complex part geometries. Mechanical presses provide high speeds well-suited for high volumes but have less flexibility in settings. While mechanical presses were traditionally used for high volumes and simple parts, trends show both press types are now used across applications due to demands for flexibility, controllability, and just-in-time manufacturing.

    The programable forming speed and blankholder


    force are optimum
    Programable impact at die closing
    Other characteristica
    Flexibility to die hights
    Die change: index 100
    Run in die : index 100
    Fast and simple repair
    Best for low and medium batch quantities
    Cycle time 5 sec+handling 2,7-4 sec
    ( 6.6- 8 PPM)
    Dynamic force control + 1 PPM ( 3 cyl action)
    Leaks belongs to the past
    LOW Investment

    Link presses are more versatile than excentric


    driven presses.
    Excentric presses gives high impact speed at die
    closing ( bad draw condition. Bad for die, cushion,
    clutch and brake.
    Limitations to die hights ( max +/-300 mm)
    Die change: index 125 - 150
    Run in die: index 150 - 300
    Best for high batch quantities
    Cycle time 3.5 sec+handling 2.5 4 sec
    (8-12 PPM)
    Expensive and slow to repair
    Risk factor is high in case of break down
    HIGH Investment

    Hydraulic Press vs Mechanical Press

    40 years ago: Hydraulic press lines (flexibility, low volume, complex part
    geometry)

    20 years ago: Mechanical presses (high volume, simple part geometry)

    Last
    10 years:
    and mechanical press lines (just in time or high volume)
    TRENDS
    in Hydraulic
    automotive

    Future requirements:

    10

    Just In time > smaller runs > short change over time & flexibility

    Low weight > High strength steel: sensible controllable forming speeds

    Synchronised load and unload
