HYDROPNEUMATIC PRESSES

Speed, power and low environmental impact thanks to the synergy of two natural forces:
pneumatic and hydraulic

How it Works

With compressed air only, they are capable of developing great force.
Thanks to the built-in hydropneumatic intensifier, they combine the approach and return speed of an air cylinder with the thrust force of a hydraulic cylinder.

High Flexibility of Applications

Bending
Drawing
Keying
Assembly
Clinching
Trimming
Chamfering
Marking
Straightening
Riveting
Pressing
Cutting
Compressing

The Heart of the System:
The Thrust Unit


The Alfamatic power units AP and AX are the engine of the OP presses.

They consist of an air cylinder and a built-in hydraulic intensifier. As a result, the full stroke can be subdivided into two separate phases:

  • a low pressure fast approach stroke - when the moving ram meets a resistance, at any point during its travel, the power stroke is engaged automatically;
  • a power stroke where thrust is increased through the hydropneumatic intensifier.

With 7 sizes and 6 configurations, thrust force from 14 kN to 420 kN, the OP series press line offers high productivity at low costs.

The Advantages
 

PRODUCTIVITY
With pneumatic approach and return and hydraulic pressing stroke, they guarantee reduced cycle times for unparalleled productivity.

ENERGY SAVING
The pneumatic / hydraulic separation allows to consume energy only when needed.

SILENCE
There are no hydraulic power units always in operation, for maximum comfort of use for the operator.

VERSATILITY OF USE
Many sizes and versions for a press cut to size of application.

MAXIMUM SECURITY
All the presses comply with the current strict accident prevention regulations.
They are safe and ready to use.

The Structures

The press is available with six different structure configurations, to meet the most varied application needs.
The bending of the structures, even at the maximum press-force of the presses, is kept within contained values.
All surfaces are treated to ensure maximum corrosion resistance.

X

The Working Plate

Made of steel Fe 430 B UNI 7070 with ground surface. Equipped with X or T slots (depending on the press model) for mould securing.

X

The Thrust Units

Depending on the needed power stroke and the required accessories, it is possible to install AP thrust (in line) or AX thrust (parallel structure) units.

X

The Safety Guards

They are available in three different configurations, to meet the different application needs and conformations of the piece.

All presses comply with the most recent safety regulations.

X

The Pneumatic Circuit

The pneumatic circuit is housed, depending on the press model, into the lower portion of the press, into a pneumatic side cabinet or in the press bed.

X

The Control Panel

For operating the press and checking the working parameters.

The Safety Guards


CB Type - With Free Front Side

The CB type protection has the front part with free access, with the operator protected by the two-hand control.

The rear and side lexan® barriers then prevent third party access to the work area

CA Type - With Front Movable Door

The CA type protection has the front part protected by a pneumatically operated mobile gate.

The rear and side lexan® barriers then prevent third party access to the work area.

CE Type - With Light Curtains

The CE type protection has the front part with free access, with the operator protected by photoelectric barriers.

The rear and side lexan® barriers then prevent third party access to the work area.

The Control Panel


All controls at your fingertips.
For easy and effective control of the work cycle.

  1. Approach stroke force and speed regulators
  2. Approach and power stroke pressure gauges
  3. Power stroke speed and force regulators
  4. Two-hands start buttons
  5. Press start switch and emergency button

The Controls

The presses can be equipped with electronic systems that monitor, piece by piece, the characteristics of the processing carried out.
They are based, depending on the model, on sensors for detecting pressure / force and the position of the press stem. From a comparison between the measured values and pre-established parameters, it is possible to determine, with precision, whether the characteristics of the piece made comply with the standard.
Depending on the degree of accuracy, they are available in different configurations:


Press-Right System

It continuously detects the position / force curve and verifies that it is contained within a suitably positioned continuous control band.
Two transducers: for position and force measurement. 
A color 640 × 480 resolution display with Full touch is available for easy use. Slot for external SD memory.

Check Point System

Connected to a single transducer, it displays its value in real time. It allows the control of the peak value and the stop of the press at a programmed value. RS 232 connection for reading and programming. Up to four programmable set points. 32 storable programs.

Functions:

  • Displays the expressed and peak force
  • Stops the unit when the set force value is reached
