Performance Series
The Affordable Solution for Single to Multi-Level Parts
- Floating Die Platen is utilized to achieve the lower action. A fixed die table stop permits the use of shelves in the die.
- Die Control Rods assist with achieving uniform density within the compacted part.
- Four Post Design Die Set is a fixed unit mounted in the press. The die plate and core rod plate float together.
- Adjustable Lower and Upper Rams accommodate varying punch lengths.
- Gear Driven Adjustments for precise control.
- Ejection System is bottom punch push-up utilizing an ejection cam and push rod.
- Shuttle-Type Filler Shoe System is fully adjustable by use of worm gear driven split cams.
- Crosshead Style Upper Punch guidance System provides very precise punch to die alignment. This precision alignment enhances tool life.
- Lower Ram Guide Plate gives superior lower punch guidance. The adjustable lower ram does not protrude through the guide plate. This creates a solid barrier protecting the adjustments from powder contamination.
- Die Control Adjustment is located in the upper ram providing easy accessibility for adjusting and maintenance.
- Core Rods can be mounted in a stationary position or floating to permit synchronous motion with the die plate. Mounting adapters are provided for both types of installation.
- Core Rod Adapter Mounts are bolted in for ease of removal and installation.
- Enhanced Guarding System includes solid fully enclosed hinged side guards, as well as hinged interlocked guarding on the front and rear of the press.
Die
Set Series
Ideal
for Multi-Level Parts and Applications Requiring Removable Die Set
Removable Die Set available in up to three lower punch configurations.- Floating Die Platen is utilized to achieve the lower action.
- Adjustable Die Table Molding Stops enable process adjustments and tool redressing without modifying tool adapters.
- Fill, Ejection and Molding Stops are worm gear-driven for easy accessibility and precise control.
- Adjustable Lower Punch Rams provide individual independent adjustment of lower punches.
- Crosshead Style Upper Punch System provides precise adjustability, as well as precision alignment.
- Shuttle-Type Filler Shoe System is fully adjustable by use of worm gear-driven split cams.
- Withdrawal Ejection System sequentially ejects tool levels using synchronized dual cams and push rods.
- Modular Pneumatic Core Rod System has adjustable mold stops. Positions and motions are controlled independently of the die set. A fixed core rod, which is mounted directly in the die set, is also included.
- Density Control Rods on the die and intermediate punch plates are independently adjustable permitting precise density control.
Multi-Action Series
State of the Art
Technology for Complex Multi-Level Parts
Selective molding and selective ejection functions eliminates the need for expensive bridging of tools.- Three Independent Lower Punch Platens provide total independent adjustability of each level.
- Adjustable Selective Molding Stops are provided on the die platen, as well as the #1/#2 punch platens.
- Adjustable Selective Withdrawal Ejection on the die platen, along with the #1/#2 punch platens. Permitting the use of any lower punch platen as the stationary level. This simplifies tool design and adaptation for complex part geometries.
- #3 Punch Platen has 1-1/2” of float for transfer in conjunction with a fixed mold position.
- Motorized Position Adjustments with Digital Displays for ease of accessibility and precise control.
- Pneumatic Dual Upper Punch System gives upper hub and counter bore capability.
- Top Punch Hold Down Function controls the part during ejection.
- Automatic Central Press Lubrication System ensures that the correct amount of lubricant is applied at proper intervals.
- Presslog Control System provides the processor-based press control with data storage through a touchscreen monitor operator interface.
- Servo Filler Shoe System gives total precise control of all shoe functions programmed through the touchscreen monitor.
- Tonnage Monitor digitally displays the tonnage on the monitor and provides high and low parameter settings.
- Underfill/Overfill is used to reduce powder “splash out” from the die, as well as aiding in difficult filling applications.
PTX High Speed Powder Compaction
Presses
A complete line of high speed and high precision powder compacting presses, robotic parts loaders.
Anvil-Type Presses
- High speed compacting of parts with one flat side.
- Parts can be thick or thin, have holes, teeth, etc.
- Parts are compacted against an anvil by the upward action of a lower punch.
- Our patented Unitized Anvil design combines the powder feeder, anvil and vacuum pick up into one unit which is always in contact with the die plate.
- Virtual elimination of powder spillage.
- There are no upper punches and associated problems of misalignment, breakage and wear.
Opposed Ram Type Presses
- Specially designed for multiple cavities, high-speed, complex, and multi-level precision parts.
- Powder transfer from top and bottom punches, a pre-press with the top punch, and a top punch hold-down system.
- With a standard removable tool set – tool assembly is done off-line and can be replaced and adjusted within about 15 minutes.
- The same tool set may be used for a wide variety of parts.
- The Multipak conventional press may also be used in ‘Anvil Press’ mode.
