HYDRAULIC PRESS SOLUTIONS FOR METAL FORMING

Wrinkles, tearing, uneven thickness, poor surface finish and unstable dimensions are often signs that material flow is not being properly controlled during forming. COSMOS PRESS configures hydraulic presses around the material, part geometry, tooling and forming sequence, so force, speed, stroke and—where required—blank holding work together for a more stable forming result.

  • CORE ADVANTAGES

  • Control material flow

    Control material flow

    Pressure, speed, position and dwell can be adjusted through different stages of the forming cycle to match the material and part geometry.

  • Reduce common forming defects

    Controlled forming force and, where required, blank holding help reduce wrinkles, tearing and excessive thinning during drawing and forming.

  • Stay stable under eccentric loads

    Asymmetric parts and off-center tooling can create uneven loads on the slide. Rigid frame construction and precise guidance help maintain stable movement during forming.

  • Apply the force the process needs

    Apply the force the process needs

    More force is not always better. Matching the forming force to the material, part and tooling helps avoid unnecessary tool loading, deformation and energy use.

  • Fit the press to the tooling

    Fit the press to the tooling

    Stroke, daylight, working area and press structure are selected around the tooling and part—not by tonnage alone. The press must provide enough space and motion for forming, tool operation and finished-part removal.

FORMING QUALITY STARTS WITH MATERIAL FLOW

Tonnage alone does not determine a good forming result. Material type and thickness, blank size, draw depth, part geometry, corner radius, tooling and forming speed all affect how the metal flows during the process. Poor control can lead to wrinkles, tearing, uneven thickness, surface defects or unnecessary tool wear. Before selecting the hydraulic press, COSMOS PRESS reviews the part drawing, material, tooling, forming steps and required finished-part quality. From there, we define the press structure, force, stroke, daylight, speed and control method around the actual forming process.
