An extrusion press machine includes an end platen, a die, a container, container cylinders which move the container back and forth, a stem that pushes a billet in the container, and a main cylinder at the front end of the stem is provided and by which the stem can freely slide front and back, the extrusion press machine further including a plurality of hydraulic valves that supply hydraulic oil in the main cylinder to the container cylinders and which operate before the stem and the container retract in movement when discharging compressed air in the container after upset of the billet and further including a hydraulic valve that discharges hydraulic oil in the main cylinder into a tank, the hydraulic valves connected by a hydraulic pipeline, and the main cylinder and the container cylinders being able to be connected.

Disclosed is an impact extrusion can making system that uses induction heating to preheat an extruder punch and an extruder forming die, to increase yield during a cold start. In addition, a highly precise laser measuring device is used to measure dome thickness, so that stroke length and/or position of an extruder and/or extrusion die can be automatically adjusted in a predictive control system. High quality products with high yield are produced using these techniques.

The invention relates to extrusion and pipe presses (1), comprising a press frame consisting of a cylindrical spar (2) and a counter spar (4) connected thereto, in which a mobile billet container holder (7) supporting a billet container (8), which puts a billet (18) to be pressed, which was introduced by a loading device, into a press position in front of the counter spar (4) with the associated tool (38), and a mobile punch crosshead (6) are provided. In the cylindrical spar (2), a main cylinder, or press cylinder, is arranged, which in the cylinder housing (9) thereof receives a press piston (11), which at the front end thereof that is supported by the punch crosshead (6) is connected to a press punch (19). A compensation tank (15), which delivers hydraulic oil to the press piston (11) by way of a slider plate (28), is assigned to a main cylinder housing (9) connected to a tank line. With an extrusion press such as this, the considerable hydraulic expenditure, and in particular the non-productive time, are to be substantially reduced, while making the structural design more compact and simple at the same time. To accomplish this, the advancing and feed motions of the billet container holder (7) and punch crosshead (6) with press piston (11) are carried out by electromotive force, and both the precompression of the billet (18) loaded into the billet container (8) and the subsequent compression of the billet (18) are done by hydraulic loading of the press piston (11). Electric motors (12, 13) are assigned to the punch crosshead (6) and the billet container holder (7) as adjustment drives. A large-scale filling valve (20) is integrated in the cylinder housing (9) of the main cylinder for loading the press piston (11).

A method for monitoring and changing the position of at least one component, more particularly a running bar, slidingly guided within a press frame between abutments of the press frame is disclosed. A central alignment of the component within the press frame is continuously measured and the alignment of the component within the press frame is corrected as a function of the acquired measurement result by preferably automatically adjustable guide elements of the sliding guides of the press. The central alignment of the slidingly guided component within the press frame is measured by the sensing of the location of at least one, preferably two, reference points of the slidingly guided component preferably in a plane extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal center axis of the press. A press having automatically adjustable guide elements and means for controlling the guide elements as a function of the measured position of the component.

A process for forming extruded products using a device having a scroll face configured to apply a rotational shearing force and an axial extrusion force to the same preselected location on material wherein a combination of the rotational shearing force and the axial extrusion force upon the same location cause a portion of the material to plasticize, flow and recombine in desired configurations. This process provides for a significant number of advantages and industrial applications, including but not limited to extruding tubes used for vehicle components with 50 to 100 percent greater ductility and energy absorption over conventional extrusion technologies, while dramatically reducing manufacturing costs.
