Project description
The client had an old, worn-out press. It no longer met health and safety standards, and had leaks and other defects. However, the body and main cylinder were in good condition. So we undertook a thorough modernization.
We designed a new hydraulic system, re-creating the rapid movement system with a flood tank.
We have regenerated the main cylinder piston rod and changed the type of seals used in the entire cylinder.
We designed a workspace cover with a pneumatically raised shutter.
