Salient Features

Technical Specifications

Basic Technological Requirements to form SMC Parts

• Fast closure, in order to minimize heat transfer between the work piece material & the die before forming.
• Pressing at the specified speed pattern to ensure uniform front flow behaviour.
• Pressing with the specified force pattern to ensure application of the special pressure level required for precise forming.
• Holding the pressure at a prescribed level while the workpiece hardens at the precisely parallel position of the two die halves.
• Controlled opening motion to avoid damage to the workpiece.

Above parameters can only be achieved in Santec hydraulic press. The drive system is buffered by pressure accumulators in order to assure that the required different oil volumes are available.

Presses
Presses can be designed & manufactured as per customer's application & requirement. Both upstroking & downstroking presses can be manufactured considering the application of the press.

Customer's ideas can also be accommodated while designing the pressWhat we need to submit our most competitive offer for the press :

• Required tonnage or capacity of press in tons
• Platen size
• Daylight
• Stroke length of slide
• Ejector stroke
• Ejector capacity
