The present invention discloses a special hydraulic press for bulging pressing forming of an automobile axle housing and a pressing forming method. A hydraulic press body is a closed frame consisting of an upper cross beam, a lower cross beam, four stand columns I, II, III, and IV, four vertical pull rods I, II, III, and IV, and four transverse pull rods I, II, III, and IV, and is used for balancing a deformation force up to 3000 T in the vertical direction or the horizontal direction in the pressing forming process. During pressing forming, the downward speeds of a main hydraulic cylinder, small left and right vertical hydraulic cylinders are precisely controlled to prevent the left end, the right end and the middle of the tube blank from bending.

A baler and methods of operating a baler. The baler includes a housing defining an interior volume, the interior volume including a compression portion and a loading portion. The baler also includes a first closure movably coupled with the housing and operative to enclose the compression portion and a second closure movably coupled with the housing and operative to enclose the loading portion. Further, the baler includes a reciprocating compression assembly including a linear actuator and a platen operably coupled with the linear actuator. The platen is movable between a retracted position and an extended position in response to actuation of the linear actuator. Additionally, the first closure defines at least one recess therein and a lip extending about at least a portion of the at least one recess. The lip is operative to engage with compressible material disposed in the compression portion.

A press tool for a press assembly includes an additive manufactured body including a plurality of stacked layers of additive manufacturable material extending between an interior side and an exterior side. The interior side has a part forming surface including a surface profile for forming a part. The exterior side has a plurality of hollow cores defined by longitudinal walls and lateral walls meeting at joints. Press inserts are coupled to the longitudinal walls and the lateral walls at the exterior side. The press inserts are configured to be pressed inward by a pressing load during a pressing operation for forming the part. The press inserts distribute the pressing load along the longitudinal and lateral walls.

An electromechanical press includes: a work table defining an upper horizontal working plane P1 on which samples are arranged; a device for forming workpieces including a forming tool arranged to be movable in translation in a vertical plane P2 perpendicular and secant to P1; and an electromechanical actuating device actuating the forming device, supported on a frame fixed relative to P1, the electromechanical actuating device in kinematic connection with the forming device. The electromechanical actuating device includes at least one Torque-type electric motor with an eccentric axis in kinematic connection with the forming device, the electromechanical actuating device supported on the frame in a position intersecting P2 of movement of the forming device and located between a base of the frame on the floor and the work table under P1, the forming tool held in any position in or above P1, the work table being integral with the frame.

A hydraulic press includes a press assembly moveable in relation to a support assembly by actuation of an actuator to provide a compressive force between the top platen and the bottom platen. The press assembly includes a top platen, a counter balance, and at least one platen guide rod interconnected between the top platen and the counter balance. The support assembly includes a bottom platen, a base frame, and at least one counter balance guide rod interconnected between the bottom platen and the base frame. The actuator is mounted between the bottom plate and the counter balance. The actuator is interchangeable with another actuator to change the compressive force of the hydraulic press.

A dynamic balance device for a press machine includes a plurality of cam portions which transmit a vertical motion of a slide to a balance weight to move the balance weight in a reverse direction of the vertical motion of the slide. The cam portions are each movable in a direction substantially orthogonal to a moving direction of the slide, and each include a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface. The first inclined surface has an inclination angle corresponding to an inclination angle of an inclined surface formed on a member which is provided integrally with the slide and vertically moves with the slide. The second inclined surface has an inclination angle corresponding to an inclination angle of an inclined surface formed on the balance weight.

The invention relates to a punch press for punching out punch products, such as automotive components, especially instrument panels, door interior panels or similar, with a frame, with a punching tool with a lower tool and an upper tool, with a machine table for holding the lower tool, and with a traversing device for moving the upper tool in relation to the lower tool, wherein the punch press, especially the punching tool, the machine table and the traversing device are set up for replacing the punching tool for a punch product change to retool the punch press to new punch products to be punched.

A press, comprising a drive train having a motor and a press ram, and comprising a housing, which includes a first base plate, a second base plate and at least three columns arranged therebetween. The columns connect the two base plates to one another and keep them spaced apart. A first opening is arranged in the first base plate and a second opening is arranged in the second base plate. At least a part of the motor is arranged on a first side of the first base plate facing away from the columns and at least a part of the press ram is arranged on a second side of the second base plate facing away from the columns. The motor and the press ram are interconnected through the first and second openings.

A dynamic balance device for a press machine includes a plurality of cam portions which transmit a vertical motion of a slide to a balance weight to move the balance weight in a reverse direction of the vertical motion of the slide. The cam portions are each movable in a direction substantially orthogonal to a moving direction of the slide, and each include a first inclined surface and a second inclined surface. The first inclined surface has an inclination angle corresponding to an inclination angle of an inclined surface formed on a member which is provided integrally with the slide and vertically moves with the slide.
