Technology has brought modern marvels to metalworking in the form of laser cutting, robotic welding and sheet metal bending. An eccentric press can be added to the list providing metal manufacturing with the means to form, cut, draw, rivet, punch and press sheet metal into desired shapes. At LSG Machine Tools, we have just the right multi-purpose eccentric press for your specific metalwork requirements.
The Eccentric Press Mechanism that Works the Press
The simplicity and robustness of the eccentric press make this machine the popular choice for traditional metal fabrication as it does not rely on computer numeric control (CNC) operations. Metal that needs to be cut relies on several pressure applications that are driven by electromechanical means. Unlike other machining that use the physical impact of cutting tools and rotary motions, the driving force behind this machine is a motor that drives the flywheels coupled to the eccentric mechanism. At the push of a button, this generates enough pressure to hit the metal with the tool effectively moulding, bending, punching and shaping it.
Benefits of High Operating Efficiency
An eccentric press is differentiated from other sheet metal machinery due to its high operating speeds, fast cycle time and variable lift. Mainly used for applications that require short strokes, LSG Machine Tools offers both fixed and adjustable column stroke options that can be seamlessly integrated into automated production processes.
- Despite the high energy consumption of these machines, they are often the preferred affordable choice as the end product can be completed at a reasonable price.
- Due to their versatility, eccentric presses can be used for a range of applications.
- The choice of eccentric press should be dictated by the metal component needed. Adjustable stroke presses, hydraulic or pneumatic, provide variable tonnage.
