Four-column Hydraulic Press

The Y32 Four-Column Hydraulic Press has several notable features:

• Three beam and four column structure for stability and precision
• Cartridge valve hydraulic system for reliability
• Relay or PLC electrical control system with adjustment and semi-automatic modes
• Compact, economical design with long service life
• Adjustable pressure, speed and stroke to suit different processes
• Constant pressure and constant range modes
• Pressure-holding delay and auto return stroke
• Ejector device in table center can double as hydraulic pad for drawing

The machine‘s robust construction, flexible controls, and ability to handle varied processes make it a versatile and cost-effective solution for many pressing applications.

The Y32 series spans a wide range of tonnages from 63 to 3000 tons. Here are some key specs across the range:

• Nominal force: 630 to 30,000 kN
• Knockout force: 160 to 1600 kN
• Daylight (max opening height): 500 to 1500 mm
• Slide stroke: 360 to 900 mm
• Knockout stroke: 160 to 360 mm
• Slide speed: 100-150 mm/s rapid, 4-16 mm/s pressing, 50-145 mm/s return
• Table sizes: 410×450 to 1600×1600 mm
• Motor power: 5.5 to 44 kW

Detailed specs vary by model. Consult the manufacturer for the exact capabilities of each machine size. Customization may be possible for special requirements.

The Y32 series presses are suitable for a variety of plastic forming processes such as:

• Extruding
• Bending
• Folding
• Deep drawing

They can also be used for powder compaction and general purpose pressing of plastic and metal parts. With the right tooling, these presses can handle anything from small components to automotive body panels.

Y32 hydraulic presses are used across many industries, for example:

• Automotive: brake pads, interior trim, body panels, fuel tanks
• Appliance: sinks, cooktops, washing machine tubs
• Aerospace: Composite lay-ups, small structural parts
• Medical: Equipment housings, prosthetics
• Packaging: Caps, closures, thin-wall containers
• Electronics: Heat sinks, connectors, enclosures

With their flexibility and relatively compact size, these presses can fit into many manufacturing environments, from high volume production to job shops.

Several options allow tailoring the Y32 to your process:

• Choice of PLC or relay control depending on automation needs
• Pressure, speed and stroke adjustment within spec ranges
• Constant pressure or position modes
• Dwell times and auto-return settings
• Ejector pins and cushions for deep drawing
• Rapid die change options
• Feeding and unloading automation
• Overload protection, light curtains and other safety features

An applications engineer can help determine the ideal configuration based on your parts, process, and production goals. Tooling design is also a key factor for success.

Reputable manufacturers will provide the following:

• Detailed operating and maintenance manuals
• Initial training and ongoing phone/online support
• Spare parts inventory for common wear items
• Field service for installation, maintenance, troubleshooting
• Press inspection and refurbishment programs
• Tooling design and build services
• Productivity improvement consulting

Check on these capabilities when selecting a supplier. Local support can save considerable time and cost over the life of the equipment.

Hydraulic presses like the Y32 offer several business advantages:

• Lower cost vs. mechanical presses of similar capacity
• Flexibility to run more part types and processes
• Simpler maintenance and longer service life
• Easier adaptation for automation
• Smaller footprint compared to straight-side presses

For manufacturers needing 60-3000 tons of versatile pressing capacity, a Y32 type hydraulic press offers an excellent return on investment.
