resale to danish customer

Specifications: SAP 500 – 3100x650

When a Danish manufacturer of advanced electrical panels and cabinets gave their specifications for a new press for bending steel profiles, there was one little detail that posed some speculation to the staff at Hydraulico.

The floor-to-ceiling height at the spot where the new press was to fit in was a mere 4.5 meters (15 feet). Given the other specifications for the press, the task didn’t seem easy to accomplish.

 

Rethinking press frame design

A press with a force of up to 500 tons normally requires a substantial height in order to ensure the necessary stability and frame rigidity.

Hydraulico’s solution to the problem was an entirely new press design. By mounting the slide on the outside of the frame it was possible to construct a press small enough to fit into the narrow space, while still living perfectly up to customer specifications.

Above took place back in 2006. Today, Hydraulico is manufacturing a second, similar press for the same customer.
