MANUAL WORKSHOP PRESSES | THE BENEFITS

Manual presses from RHTC are a fundamental machine in the manufacturing industry. You’ll find them in nearly every work plant. This is because of their versatility, durability and reliability. Additionally, a manual workshop press offers the workman many benefits and efficiencies with helping to get the job done in an accurate and professional manner. As a leading manual workshop press distributor in the UK, we wanted to share a few benefits with you. WHAT IS A MANUAL PRESS MACHINE? A manual press machine is a piece of equipment featuring a vertically fitted hydraulic cylinder that is attached to a hydraulic pump system. The hydraulic system is full of hydraulic oil. The hydraulic cylinder has an internal piston upon which the compressed hydraulic oil exerts pressure. The compression of the oil is carried out by the hydraulic pump system. The operator drives the pump manually with their hand or foot. The pressure created travels through the enclosed pump system to the cylinder. In the cylinder, the compressed energy is discharged causing the internal hammer to deliver a powerful impact upon the workpiece. The metal forming industry often uses manual presses for stamping and marking. Additionally, you can use presses for many other manufacturing applications including: riveting, staking, forming, punching, bending, crimping, piercing, assembling, broaching, and coining to name a few.
