What Are Metalworking Hydraulic Presses?

A metalworking hydraulic press uses the force from a hydraulic cylinder for metal forming tasks. The fluid pressure in the cylinder translates to the ram, which exerts the pressure to shape, form and cut metal. In the metalworking industry, hydraulic presses often accomplish tasks like:

  • Drawing
  • Blanking
  • Bending
  • Coining
  • Extruding
  • Punching
  • Stamping
  • Straightening

How a Hydraulic Metalworking Press Works

In a hydraulic press, the hydraulic pump pressurizes the hydraulic fluid, which in turn drives the cylinder. Control valves regulate the flow and pressure of this fluid to precisely control press movements, allowing the ram to apply force through the platen and into the die set for various metalworking tasks. 

Williams, White & Company press machines for metal have sophisticated controls and features.

Why Choose a Hydraulic Press for Metalworking?

A hydraulic press for metal is a reliable and robust choice, offering benefits like:

  • Precision: The hydraulic system maintains consistent pressure, enabling the creation of highly accurate metal shapes. This capability allows you to meet tight tolerances. 
  • Versatility: A wide variety of configurations and die options means you can adapt the press to your particular requirements, including forming, deep drawing and straightening tasks. 
  • Safety: Hydraulic systems offer more precise control, minimizing accidents and reducing the likelihood of damage to materials or machines. 
  • Energy efficiency: These machines only consume energy when force is required. You can save on operational costs by replacing more energy-intensive machines and processes.

The Presses We Engineer for Your Application

We develop a wide variety of metalworking presses, including column presses, which have a rigid, four-column frame, ideal for providing maximum die space and tooling access. We can also create tie-rod housing presses, which have a straight-sided frame and offer precision under high loads. 

Utilize floor space effectively while enabling easy access to the die space with a gap frame press. You can also choose our side plate presses, which use heavy side plates to keep the gib in place, even in high-tonnage applications. Moveable gantry presses enable you to complete tasks without repositioning parts.
