According to Graebener-Reika, its new hydroforming press can double part output and cut stroke cycle time.
Graebener-Reika, Inc., (GRI) a provider of machinery for processing tube, pipe, bar, plate and sheet, announces the availability of a new 4-column hydroforming press through its parent company Graebener Maschinentechnik. "The system is suited for high-volume environments, such as the automotive industry, doubling the number of parts produced in a single press stroke while cutting the per stroke cycle time in half. The presses are available in closing forces from 800 - 5,000 tons," said a company spokesperson.
The press crown and the bed are connected to each other and clamped by means of four tie rods with the crown of the press supported by the side columns. This column design offers easy accessibility to the press and die space area from all four sides.
Graebener Maschinentechnik designs and builds high tonnage hydroform presses offering an extensive selection of equipment. Its 4-column presses feature standard closing forces from 800 - 5,000 tons. The RoboClamp pre-tensioned C-frame press can produce long components such as frame side rails or cross members, and comes in four standard closing forces from 3,250 to 18,000 tons. The RoboClamp offers easy access from three sides with robotic tool change and loading.
Compact frame presses suitable for low pressure hydroforming and smaller components such as plumbing fittings are also available as well as customized solutions for applications up to 18,000 tons.
