The invention relates to a hydraulic press and a method of pressing different kinds of objects, such as briquettes. The hydraulic press comprises a body cylinder (1) housing a fluid space (2) and a working piston (3) whose rod (3a) extends to the outside of the body cylinder (1), the working piston (3) being adapted to be moved in the fluid space (2) by hydraulic pressure. The hydraulic press also comprises a pressure accumulator (4) as well as a hydraulic circuit with valves. Inside the working piston (7) moved by hydraulic pressure, a striking piston (7) moving along with the working piston (3) and quickly movable relative to the working piston (3) by means of hydraulic pressure, is provided. In addition, a separate impact body (10) is provided between the striking piston (7) and the object (14) pressed by the hydraulic press.

An electro-hydrostatic drive for realizing a rapid movement and a force-building movement, comprising a hydro-machine with variable volume and/or rotational speed, driven by an electric motor, for providing a volume-flow of a hydraulic fluid, a first cylinder with a housing, a piston, a cylinder rod, and a first and a second cylinder chamber, a second cylinder with a piston, a cylinder rod, and a first and a second cylinder chamber, a moveable carrier plate, a pillar, and a clamping apparatus to clamp and/or unclamp the first cylinder to the pillar, where the hydraulic drive has a closed hydraulic circuit, which has, when run, a positive pressure above atmospheric pressure and which, by utilizing the hydro-machine, can pressurize either the first or the second cylinder chamber of the first cylinder and/or the first or the second cylinder chamber of the second cylinder. The moveable carrier plate is connected both to the first cylinder and to the second cylinder. For the force-building movement, the first cylinder is clamped, by the clamping apparatus, to the pillar and one cylinder chamber of the first cylinder is pressurized with the hydraulic fluid, and for the rapid movement, the first cylinder is unclamped, by the clamping apparatus, from the pillar and one cylinder chamber of the second cylinder is pressurized with the hydraulic fluid.

Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed for a rosin press that allows improved extraction over existing presses. The press includes improved platens for rosin collection with built-in gutter rail collection systems and well-distributed force on the pressed product and multiple hydraulic rams. In addition, computerized systems are provided for controlling and monitoring the system in an automated fashion, as well as safety features to prevent injury and damage to the product, especially during automated pressing.

The present invention relates to an extrusion press (10, 20, 30) with a press cylinder (111), the press cylinder (111) being driven with an electro-hydrostatic control system (104) for a power transmission and being connected to a separate drive (120, 400) for rapid traverse, with a container (115), wherein the container (115) is connected to a hydraulic cylinder (117) for a power transmission and to a further separate drive (119, 300) for rapid traverse, with a hydraulic cylinder (101) with a locking device (103) for driving a shearing tool (102), wherein the hydraulic cylinder (101) is connected to the electro-hydrostatic control system (104), and wherein the press cylinder (111) in the power transmission and the hydraulic cylinder (101) for driving a shearing tool (102) are controlled alternately via the common electro-hydrostatic control system (104).

On-site pressing of field poles for a hydroelectric generator is provided. A field pole may be placed on a press cart and press bars may be placed on top of the field pole. The press cart is moved along a track to transport the field pole to a pressing unit. Hydraulic cylinders in the pressing unit press the field pole and the press bars between the cart and a top plate of the pressing unit to straighten the field pole.

A device and method for operating a motor-actuated working device is provided. A certain working operation requires a rise in an applied force to a certain working force. The device enables a rise in the force to a general working force that exceeds the certain working force and an apparatus is provided for monitoring the device value. For the certain working operation, an evaluation is performed to detect the characteristic change and that the attainment of the characteristic change is used as a signal for ending the certain working operation after the certain working force has been attained but before the general working force has been attained.
