From a wide variety of metal forming machines, a manual hydraulic press can be distinguished. This is a hydraulically operated metal forming tool in which the liquid is under high pressure.
With the help of such a device, by cutting along the contour, it is possible to produce parts of the most complex shape.
To do this, polyurethane is placed in a closed form called a container. A template is laid on top - a copy of the part that needs to be received. With the help of a hydraulic drive, applying force to the slider, we get an imprint of the finished part on the workpiece. With further pressure, the template cuts the part along the contour. The only thing is that such parts should not exceed the metal thickness of 1.2 mm.
The field of application in which the manual hydraulic press is used is very large:
- in metalworking (forging, stamping, bending, straightening, pipe extrusion);
- powder materials pressing;
- production of rubber and plastic products;
- production of plywood and textolite.
During operation, the force should not exceed 35 tons.
The manual hydraulic press has become one of the indispensable home-made machines in the home workshop. Its main advantages are low price and small dimensions. With minimal energy consumption, it is possible to obtain stamped parts of complex shape on it: cutting along the contour, punching holes, drawing all kinds of caps, as well as fixing connections and so on.
A manual hydraulic press has been widely used for crimping cable lugs of sleeves in those places where the cable is connected to aluminum or copper conductors of power supply networks.
After performing this operation, the product is marked with numbers, which corresponds to the cross-sectional area of the cable and the brand of the press designed for a particular type of connection. Crimping is performed by the hexagonal (hexagonal) method.
The manual hydraulic press crimps the cable lugs in strict compliance with the marking to prevent tool breakage. To do this, the product is supplied with a plastic case with a set of hexagonal dies.
The manual hydraulic press was widely used in car services and service stations. In this case, this device is a small device that creates high pressure at some point in the car, for example, to straighten the body of the car.
You can use it to compact, squeezeunwanted liquid. Hand presses are ideal for locksmith work when repairing an electric motor, pressing bushings, installing gears or dismantling them, bending small parts, pressing bearings and other pressing work.
The press is a metal compact structure, which consists of racks, lower and upper beams, a bed and a hydraulic drive with a pump and a pressure gauge. The frame is made of long products with a welded rigid structure, which allows you to install such a product in any position convenient for work. A sensor is attached to control the force generated during operation.
Such a convenient and practical device that any home master can make for himself.
