Hydraulic Presses

Built similarly to the DC style press, the DCSS takes yet another step toward providing the most frame strength available on any press on the market.  The DCSS has enclosed end frames in lieu of the gap therefore allowing the least amount of deflection and the most rigidity.  The operator can still however have material or die pass through with windows located in the end frames.

Built with the same hydraulic system and solid welded construction as the DC, the DCSS gives you another layer of strength for even the most punishing applications.  Typically the bed and ram would stay within the frames, but optionally you can order the DCSS with ram and/or bed extensions to extend beyond the frames to give you even more die area.

The DCSS is also available up to 600 tons and is perfect for center load and off center loads left to right and/or front to back as well as virtually any other press application.

Hydraulic Presses

Model AM Straight Side Press

     

Hydraulic Presses

The model AM straight side press is a more traditional style of straight side with much more left to right bed and ram area.  The AM is able to hold tolerance left to right much better than a direct hydraulic design due to its bellcrank linkage that gives the press full tonnage from one end of the press to the other.  This single cylinder design develops full tonnage anywhere along the bed left to right and front to back.  The bellcrank linkage system is actuated with a single cylinder utilizing A660 bronze at the bearing points.

Model AM200-10

  200 ton press in automated feed line & optional paint
     
These bearings are Designed to withstand up to 6 times the machines overall tonnage and they are covered by our extensive 5 year parts warranty.  The model AM is truly designed to accept virtually all forms of press applications whether it is punching, forming, blanking, coining, swedging, die tryout, trimming, drawing and so on. The AM is available up to 600 tons and particularly excels at progressive die set ups where you have varying amounts of tonnage being applied across the bed all in the same stroke.
