Mechanical Presses Features
Our eccentric mechanical presses known as the MPH and KSP are reliable, efficient, and high production rate solution for your manufacturing needs. They feature a rigid stress-relieved body and precision machined guide ways and are perfect for progressive die applications and transfer die applications. The metal stamping presses also include a helical, high quality gear system and Sfero casting of parts.
A pneumatic clutch brake combination and hydraulic overload safety system is used to increase safety and decrease part defects. The overload has a response time of less than 0.01 seconds to help protect the press and die from overload conditions. Two encoders provide real-time monitoring of crank angle and the motorized ram height adjustment.
Press Gear System
The heavy-duty double gear system on the mechanical power press utilizes hardened helical gears in an oil bath with the flywheel mounted using cylindrical bearings.
The motorized ram adjustment is controlled by PLC with programs of die height stored in the PLC to facilitate quick changeover.
Both PILZ and Siemens PLCs with touchscreen control on the mechanical presses are are utilized for increased production, automation and safety.
Parameters displayed or controlled on the touchscreen include:
- Ram stroke indication
- Fault report
- Memory storage for 300 parts
- Counter
- Parameter recording
- Speed control
- Cam system with encoder
Automatic central lubrication is controlled via special sensors
A real-time tonnage monitoring system measures and displays tonnage for all four posts on the metal stamping machines. This data is shown in real time and limits can be set to activate operator alarms accordingly or shut-down the press in the event of an unexpected value. Additionally, the data can also be exported afterwards and viewed on a cellphone with Bluetooth connection for continued information access even outside of the production floor.
