01 — Press System

1600 Ton Four Column Hydraulic Press Machine

The 1600-ton four-column hydraulic press provides ultra-high compaction tonnage coupled with a rigid four-post guiding framework for extreme heavy-duty powder pressing operations. Its heavy-duty hydraulic architecture ensures exceptional geometric alignment and minimal deflection under maximum press loads.

Use Case

Engineered for ultra-dense compaction of extra-large powder metallurgy die blocks, structural components, and heavy-duty punches. It delivers extreme multi-axial pressing forces required to consolidate massive iron and steel alloy powders into uniform high-density preforms.

  • Core Applications: Enables ultra-high tonnage compaction for heavy industrial equipment tooling, mining die blocks, automotive structural chassis parts, and aerospace metal powder components. It excels in manufacturing thick-section, high-stress PM parts demanding superior mechanical integrity and load-bearing capacity.
  • Material: Processes high-strength Fe-based powders, alloyed steel, bronze, and stainless steel blends enriched with graphite and specialized synthetic lubricants. This optimized chemical mix facilitates high compaction pressures while ensuring uniform powder flow and smooth wall ejection during pressing.
  • Products Processed: Compacts extra-large PM die blocks, heavy-duty punch inserts, structural automotive gears, thick bearing rings, and heavy magnetic core components. It produces massive green preforms with exceptional edge sharpness and structural integrity prior to vacuum sintering.
  • Why 1600-Ton Hydraulic Press: The immense 1600-ton hydraulic pressure enables full consolidation of massive surface areas to reach green densities above 7.2 g/cm³. Precise multi-stage proportional hydraulic controls prevent density gradient variations and internal stress cracking across heavy-section die tooling.
