Advantages of Santec Hydraulic Press
Hydraulic presses offers a range of
advantages over mechanical presses. They provide high performance and
superior reliability in almost every application. To ensure flexibility,
various levels of sophistication are available right from simple mechanical
control to digital control. At Santec, engineers and research professionals
consistently work to improve the products' technology to make them suitable
for different types of applications. These improvements are applied to
standardize the designs for better efficiency and rigidity. All these
efforts ensure following advantages:
Heavy Duty Guide Bushings
Ram slide bushings are designed to be low
maintenance, non-wearing components. There is no wear of the bushing
surface, if ram is periodically lubricated. The bushings are designed to
last the life of the press.
Service and Reliability
Every system is engineered using proven
methods. Once engineered, they are subjected to rigorous testing. Regardless
of the level of sophistication, each system undergoes an exhaustive review
for continuous duty cycling, insuring hydraulic system integrity and
performance at peak production rates.
Full Power Stroke
Unlike mechanical presses where full
power is delivered only at the bottom, full pressing force can be delivered
at any point in the stroke in hydraulic press. Full tonnage is achieved
throughout the stroke. Other advantages include faster set-ups and no time
consuming job of adjusting the stroke nut on the slide to accommodate
different dies.
Built-in Overload Protection
A 100-ton hydraulic press exerts only 100
tons pressure. Therefore, no need to worry about overloading or breaking the
press or smashing a die. When hydraulic press reaches its set pressure,
that's all the pressure there is. The relief valve opens at that limit and
there is no danger of overload.
Low Operating Costs
Hydraulic presses provides dual benefits
of low operating costs and low initial costs. The significant cost
advantages is because of few moving parts. Breakdowns are very rare and if
occur, they are usually minor. Typical maintenance include replacements of
packing, solenoid coils and occasionally valves.
Larger Capacities
Stroke lengths of 12, 18, and 24 inches
are common, however extra stroke length is easy to provide. Open gap can
also be added without much additional cost. In addition to this, large table
areas and small presses with big bed areas can also be provided. Tonnage of
the press is not indicative of bed size. Large 200-ton presses with
relatively small beds are available.
