COMMON HYDRAULIC C-FRAME PRESS APPLICATIONS

COMMON HYDRAULIC C-FRAME PRESS APPLICATIONS C-Frame Presses are extremely versatile machines, and along with that there are many different hydraulic C-frame press applications. Here at The Workshop Press Company, we only work with leading European C-frame hydraulic press manufacturers. We proudly stock a range of metal press machines and each press that we offer can be modified with features to suit your specific application. Moreover, we work closely with our customers to determine the right machine for their application. Press working is used across a variety of industries, and the scope for pressed parts is growing each year. As more sectors reap the benefits of this metal manufacturing process, pressed parts are becoming increasingly popular. As a result, press machines themselves are becoming more advanced to cope with the rising demand for precision machining. WHAT IS A C-FRAME PRESS? Deriving its name from the clear ‘C’ shape framework, C-frame presses are one of the most common types of hydraulic press machine. They are also often referred to as a gap-frame presses, and have a small footprint. Therefore, it takes up the minimal amount of precious factory floor space. C-frame press machines offer 3-sided access to the working area. This allows for easy loading and unloading of parts and also makes die maintenance easy to action too. HOW DOES IT WORK? Hydraulic C-Frame Presses are often used for stamping applications forming parts from a variety of sheet metals such as copper, titanium, stainless steel, or aluminium. The press tool, or die, is used to shape components from the sheet metal. The primary hydraulic piston ram descends upon the die and pushes the components of the die together with force forming the sheet metal, thus creating the required component shape. INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS C-Frame or Gap-Frame presses are used for many different industrial applications, and some examples are below. AUTOMOTIVE In the automotive sector, gap frame presses are pivotal in forming metal parts. Some common parts formed with a c-frame press in the automotive industry include engine mounts and seat frames. The press machines are also used for assembly as well as to stake components together. INDUSTRIAL MANUFACTURING Industrial manufacturing relies on heavy duty machinery to be able to manufacture intricate parts and assemblies. C-frame presses are commonly used in industrial manufacturing to fabricate high performance hardware such as spring clips and forklift components. Some key processes they offer to the sector include trimming, assembling, and bending operations. ELECTRONICS INDUSTRY The electronics sector often demands small and intricate parts. C-frame press machines are the perfect machine to help manufacture these components due to the high levels of accuracy they can achieve. These presses are commonly used to manufacture components such as electronic connectors and a variety of computer parts.
