Core Requirements for Customizing Non-Standard Hydraulic Presses

Customizing a non-standard hydraulic press is a complex, systematic project, centered on in-depth communication, precise definition, and collaborative design. It's more than just purchasing a piece of equipment; it's like working with our factory to complete a turnkey project. The following are five core requirements for customizing a non-standard hydraulic press, compiled by Jianlong Hydraulic Technology, for your reference when purchasing!

1. Clear Process Objectives and Product (Why & What)

This is the starting point for all designs and must be clearly defined.

1.1 Core Process: What specific operations will this machine be used for? (e.g., precision press-fitting, deep drawing, powder forming, hot pressing and laminating, straightening, punching, etc.)

1.2 Target Product: What materials will be processed? What will the final product be? Samples, drawings, or 3D models are recommended.

2. Accurate Performance Parameters (How Much)

Quantifying your requirements with specific numbers is the foundation of a technical solution.

2.1 Nominal Tonnage: Maximum required pressure (unit: tons or kilonewtons). Peak process forces must be considered and allow for margin.

2.2 Stroke and Opening: The maximum stroke of the slider and the opening height determine the height of the mold and workpiece that can be accommodated.

2.3 Worktable: The effective dimensions of the worktable (length x width) must be able to stably position the lower mold and workpiece.

2.4 Speed Requirements: The speeds of the three stages (fast down, forward, and return) directly affect production cycle time and efficiency.

3. Key Functional Configuration (How)

Key functional components required to achieve process objectives.

3.1 Structure: Choose a four-column type (versatility and cost-effective) or a frame type (high rigidity, high precision, and easy automation).

3.2 Control Method: Manual/semi-automatic (basic), PLC fully automatic (recommended, with recipe storage), or servo CNC (extremely high precision, but expensive).

3.3 Core Functions

3.3.1 Pressure Control: Is precise pressure display and closed-loop control required?

3.3.2 Position Control: Is high-precision displacement control required (essential for precision press fitting)? 3.3.3 Holding Pressure Function: Is holding pressure required? What are the holding time and pressure stability requirements?

3.3.4 Ejection Device: Is a lower ejector required? What is its tonnage and stroke?

3.3.5 Special Functions: Heating (temperature range and accuracy), cooling, vacuum, movable worktable, etc.

4. Strict Safety Standards (How to Safe)

Safety is the bottom line of production and cannot be compromised.

4.1 Dual-Hand Operation Buttons: Prevent single-handed operation.

4.2 Safety Light Grating/Light Curtain: Provides a protective barrier in hazardous areas.

4.3 Emergency Stop Button: Multiple locations for easy activation.

4.4 Mechanical Safety Lock: Prevents the slide from accidentally falling during maintenance.

4.5 Hydraulic System Protection: Relief valve, pressure sensor, oil temperature and level alarms, etc.

5. In-depth Collaboration (How to Collaborate)

The success of non-standard customization depends on in-depth cooperation between you and our factory. 5.1 Provide Detailed Information: Organize the above requirements into a written "Technical Specification" whenever possible.

5.2 Confirm Design Drawings: Be sure to review and sign the manufacturer's general drawings, hydraulic and electrical schematics, foundation drawings, and other materials.

5.3 Clarify Acceptance Criteria: Specify the performance acceptance methods and standards in the contract (e.g., how to test tonnage and verify pressure holding accuracy).

5.4 Review Case Studies: Prioritize manufacturers with experience in similar non-standard equipment and review their case studies.

In short, the core of customizing a non-standard hydraulic press is to "translate your specific process requirements into a series of quantifiable and achievable technical parameters and functional configurations." Clearly defining the above five points is crucial to a successful project.
