Ironing presses
Description
Ironing presses require long strokes and for that reason they are equipped with hydraulic drives. Models of the MHS series range from 3,150 to 20,000 kN, in which stroke lengths of up to 4 meters are typical. These lines are available in both horizontal and vertical designs and, if required, can be designed as top-drive, double-acting presses.Processing on ironing presses begins with a blank or an extruded or drawn cup. The wall thickness of the cup is then ironed in multiple operating cycles and, if required, calibrated. There are numerous applications but most products are cylindrical containers. The process is increasingly favored in the manufacture of CNG tanks for natural gas.
Your advantages
- Unlimited work energy permits maximum rated press force over the entire stroke
- Infinite adjustment of the working stroke permits optimal adaptation of the press cycle to the forming process
- Extremely long slide stroke travels for ironing of long components
- Overloading of the press is not possible
- Adaptation of the forming speed to the process produces optimal workpiece quality and long tool service life
