A press is a static-action machine, the function of which is to process various materials by pressure. This type of machines can be classified according to the kind of drive they are equipped with:
A detailed description of all the three press units will be presented in the following sections.
The group of mechanical press machines includes:
The press machines, equipped with mechanical drive, are used in the process of manufacture of small-sized products. Such production is characterized by high pressing speeds, short holding under pressure and rather low index of force applied by the press. The power of such units can be increased, but it will inevitably lead to increase of the dimensions and metal intensity. In the industrial production, such presses are used as a rule for tableting of the raw materials and as a part of some automatic presses.
The press machines are equipped with the hydromechanical drive, their construction also provides for a hydraulic cylinder and lever mechanism. Together, these elements enable a movable plate of the press unit to demonstrate higher movement speed with lower force applied at the beginning of the movement and, on the contrary, low speed and higher force applied at the end of the movement.
It should be noted that a hydromechanical press’s increase in power leads also to the increase of its metal intensity. In the industrial production, such presses are used widely in the locking assemblies of injection-molding machines.
In hydraulic presses, the pressing force value is not dependent on stroke of the press. Moreover, there is no rigid linkage between the hydraulic circuit and the press. The hydraulic presses are mostly used in industries for processing such materials as rubber (elastomer) and thermosetting plastics. The presses of this type can be:
The hydraulic cylinders can be of two types: single-plunger and multiplunger. The press beds can be of column or frame types. Besides, there is an open-side press design. Some hydraulic presses are provided with a pressing out cylinder for removal of the product from the mold.
The main elements of a hydraulic press are press platen. When they are used in frame designs, they are called sliders; when they are used in column designs, they are called crossbars. The press is equipped with two stationary plates and one movable plate. As a rule, the bottom plate is termed as a press table. Usually, the die mold is located on the table (bottom plate) and the second half – on the movable plate.
The hydraulic presses, the cylinder of which is located at the bottom, have two or more openings for processing of rubber in removable die molds. This type of press can be classified according to the control method: automatic, semiautomatic and manual. As regards the method of the plate’s heating, the hydraulic presses are presented as units with steam, electric and induction heating. Physically, such machines can be carousel, rotary and daylight ones.
The hydraulic press structural elements move according to Pascal law: the working fluid is fed under pressure into the cylinder by a hydraulic circuit. This activates the plunger and causes movement of the movable plate. When the press is closing, a certain pressure level or the nominal force of the press Рn occurs. This nominal force is the main parameter of the hydraulic press equipment.
Pn = (p*Dp2/4)*Pf(g)
(p*Dp2/4) is the plunger area;
Dp is the plunger diameter;
Pf is the working fluid pressure.
The basic components of the hydraulic press structure are:
The design of the hydraulic press is characterized by a number of parameters:
In addition to the nominal force, the effective force occurs in the hydraulic press. This force is calculated as follows:
Pe = k*S*Ps
k is the number of the cavities in the mold;
S is the area of projection of the article onto the horizontal plane;
Ps is the specific pressure of pressing, the technological parameter depending on the material
The geometry and dimensions of the future article and, as a consequence, its molds determine the selection of the press equipment. The following parameters are considered: dimensions of the table, slider stroke and maximum distance between the press platen and the slider.
The followings can be referred to the main components of the frame-type press:
The standard of manufacture of press equipment provides for the press platen dimensions and nature of the die stroke.
Thus, the press equipment can be selected subject to availability of the information on the dimensions of the article and mold. The dimensions of the mold shall not exceed those of the press platen.
When selecting the suitable design of the hydraulic cylinder, the structural diagram of the press, working pressure level of the fluid, equipment’s conditions of pressing and operation should be considered. The hydraulic cylinders are divided into two main groups: plunger cylinders (the cylinder body accommodates the plunger) and piston ones. The main elements of the piston cylinder are:
The piston-type hydraulic cylinders move reciprocally while the design of the plunger-type models should provide for returning hydraulic cylinders.
The hydraulic cylinders are capable of operating under severe conditions. The bodies of such cylinders are manufactured by casting or forging. The hydraulic cylinder workpieces undergo thorough quality control. The forged cylinders are manufactured of carbon or low-allowed steel.
The cylinders can be either blind (rarely) or through. The hydraulic cylinder bottom is manufactured separately and fitted:
The hydraulic cylinder bore is made by:
The workpiece is bored by a tool that is called a multipoint head. The trepan drilling can be performed through the workpiece. In such cases, the workpiece is first drilled from one side and then from the opposite side with larger diameter. These cylinders are termed as staged ones and used for multipliers and hydraulic boosters.
If the cylinder is to be operated with water or water-based emulsion, its internal surface is chromium-plated to prevent corrosion.
The material for manufacturing of the hydraulic cylinders is selected with regard to the working pressure and plunger movement speed:
The geometry and dimensions of the cylinders are determined by GOST 6540-68.
The factors to be taken into account, while designing the hydraulic cylinders, include the nominal force of the press Pn, working fluid pressure level Pf(g) an the maximum allowable value of the cylinder material stretching [σs].
Pn = (p*Dp2/4)*Pg
A guide bush in the hydraulic cylinder is an adjacent part, the main function of which is to prevent the warp of the plunger during the movement. Thus, the guide bush ensures the movement of the plunger from the hydraulic cylinder strictly along the press axis. The bushes are often made of tin bronze or bearing cast iron.
The hydraulic cylinder of the press is exposed to the forces created by the pressure of the working substance. This force is transmitted by the movable plate of the press, and as a result the plunger material works in compression. The device for fastening the plunger to the movable plate is determined by the place and method of application of the load.
Most of the designs of the press equipment provide for standard operation with stationary molds, arranged vertically in relation to the press axis. In this case, the plunger is fastened to the movable plate.
Using a threaded flange, a thread is made at the plunger’s end; and the flange is screwed onto the plunger end. The joint is made using bolts and pins.
The plunger is made of carbon or chromium-molybdenum steel or cast iron (rarely due to fragility). The plunger surface is hardened. The plungers are made hollow and can belong to two types:
The plunger and piston are located in the piston cylinder. The cylinder ensures the forward and reverse stroke. In this case, the structure works in compression and stretching, therefore the algorithm of calculation is as follows:
Then the calculation is performed according to Euler formula.
The bed function is to provide for fixation and installation of all the press mechanisms in a certain position. Besides, it is a master link, which perceives the nominal pressure of the press. The press weight, vibration and dynamic loads are transmitted to the press foundation.
Depending on the design, the beds can be of:
The most common types of the beds are frame and column beds. The presses can have two or four columns. The frame press beds are made by casting or welding or can be of cast and welded design. The number of arms depends on the press purpose.
A bed of a two-armed frame press or of a four-column press is a closed spatial frame statically indeterminable, which is loaded by non-symmetrically applied forces and momenta. Thus, the press bed, equipped with the front working cylinder and flat static crossbar, is a closed statically indeterminable spatial frame.
The calculation of such a bed is complicated by the presence of stiffeners, holes and other elements on the frame. Thus, the solution of the problem in general terms is impossible. However, taking into account the fact that the most of the products have been made on the presses with static molds, they can be mounted clearly along the vertical axis of the press. In this case, the plates and molds of the press coincide with its geometric axis. When solving this problem, the following assumptions are made:
In cases when the cylinder supports lean against the bottom, the rated pressure can be considered concentrated or distributed.
The function of the press column is to connect the top crossbar with the bottom one; besides, the press column serves as a guide for the movable crossbar. The column surface consists of the following elements:
The most common material for manufacturing of the column is toughened carbon steel or chromium alloyed steel. The working surface of the column is grounded and chromium plated. The metric, buttress or special buttress thread.
The key unit of the hydraulic system is a pump, which converts the energy of the drive into the energy of the substance flow. Mineral oils (turbine, industrial, spindle and other ones) are used as working fluids in the hydraulic drive systems. While sucking the fluid, the pump imparts some speed to it and feeds the same under pressure to the hydraulic cylinder or hydraulic motor via pipeline.
When selecting the suitable model of the pressure generator, the following factors should be taken into account:
At present, the hydraulic presses are equipped with the following drive types:
Application of pumps in hydraulic presses
The following kinds of pumps are used as parts of individual hydraulic presses:
Such mechanism as a pump-based drive with accumulator is used as a part of the group drive.
Selecting the pressure generator, on should consider such parameters as operation conditions, maximum flow rate and working pressure level (fluctuates within the range of 20 to 32 MPa).
Design and operation of various types of pumps, which are used in hydraulic presses
All kinds of the pumps, used in hydraulic presses and in processing of polymer materials, can be related to volumetric pumps or positive displacement ones.
In the positive displacement pumps, the working fluid is displaced from the working and suction chambers as a result of reduction of the volume of the chambers.
In the rotary positive displacement pumps, the fluid is displaced from the working and suction chambers as a result of displacers (gears, vanes, pistons, etc.).
The hydraulic motors convert the work of the fluid flow into the mechanical work of the output shaft (rod). A positive-displacement hydraulic motor is a rotary- or linear-motion motor. Positive-displacement hydraulic motors can be of the following types:
Most of the positive displacement rotary pumps and hydraulic motors are inversely mechanical as regards the principle of motion, so that the same units can be used as both pumps and hydraulic motors.
