Compression presses go all-electric.


The benefits of all-electric vs. hydraulic press hydraulic press

Machine consisting of a cylinder fitted with a piston (see piston and cylinder) that uses liquid under pressure to exert a compressive force upon a stationary anvil or baseplate. The liquid is forced into the cylinder by a pump.
 operation are now available to compression molders. Wabash MPI MPI - Message Passing Interface , Wabash, Ind., has introduced the E-Series 30-ton press with platen A long, thin cylinder in a typewriter or printer that guides the paper through it and serves as a backstop for the printing mechanism to bang into. It is typically made of a hard rubber or rubber-like material. See carriage and typewriter.  sizes up to 24 x 24 in. Advantages are said to be cleaner and quieter operation than hydraulics hydraulics, branch of engineering concerned mainly with moving liquids. The term is applied commonly to the study of the mechanical properties of water, other liquids, and even gases when the effects of compressibility are small. , energy savings (especially with long dwell times), and greater precision and reliability. Electric drive reportedly provides accurate ramping of clamp force from 0.5 to 30 tons via an integral load cell that feeds back to the PLC controller. Tel: (260) 563-1184 * PT Direct: 117VH
