C-type Frame Presses, such as the ST Series and JH21 Series, feature a body rigidity of 1/6000 and utilize OMPI pneumatic dry clutches and brakes, along with a two-corner six-sided guide path incorporating high-frequency hardening and rail grinding processes. Enhanced durability is achieved through a 42CrMo high-strength alloy crankshaft and tin-phosphorus bronze ZQSn10-1 copper sleeve, complemented by hydraulic overload protection and a PLC centralized control system for safe and convenient operation. Models like the JH21-200 offer a 200-ton capacity, 200mm stroke, and 50 strokes per minute (SPM), while the YC1 series provides nominal pressures from 250kN to 3150kN and speeds of 20-110 SPM.C-typeFramePresses,suchastheSTSeriesandJH21Series,featureabodyrigidityof1/6000andutilizeOMPIpneumaticdryclutchesandbrakes,alongwithatwo-cornersix-sidedguidepathincorporatinghigh-frequencyhardeningandrailgrindingprocesses.Enhanceddurabilityisachievedthrougha42CrMohigh-strengthalloycrankshaftandtin-phosphorusbronzeZQSn10-1coppersleeve,complementedbyhydraulicoverloadprotectionandaPLCcentralizedcontrolsystemforsafeandconvenientoperation.ModelsliketheJH21-200offera200-toncapacity,200mmstroke,and50strokesperminute(SPM),whiletheYC1seriesprovidesnominalpressuresfrom250kNto3150kNandspeedsof20-110SPM.
Straight Side Presses, including the YS2/YS2A and JB36 Series, are characterized by long strokes, high rigidity, and exceptional precision and stability, built with a high-rigidity body comprising separable crossbeams, uprights, and basements. These presses integrate an eccentric gear structure, an 8-side long guide rail, a pneumatic clutch-brake unit, hydraulic overload protection, a Frequency Drive Inverter (FDI), PLC, encoder, and mechanical cam control systems. The JB36 Series offers nominal pressures from 1100KN to 10000KN and stroke speeds of 15-65 SPM, with the YS2L-630 model boasting 694.455 tons of tonnage, a 29.528-inch stroke, and 18 SPM.StraightSidePresses,includingtheYS2/YS2AandJB36Series,arecharacterizedbylongstrokes,highrigidity,andexceptionalprecisionandstability,builtwithahigh-rigiditybodycomprisingseparablecrossbeams,uprights,andbasements.Thesepressesintegrateaneccentricgearstructure,an8-sidelongguiderail,apneumaticclutch-brakeunit,hydraulicoverloadprotection,aFrequencyDriveInverter(FDI),PLC,encoder,andmechanicalcamcontrolsystems.TheJB36Seriesoffersnominalpressuresfrom1100KNto10000KNandstrokespeedsof15-65SPM,withtheYS2L-630modelboasting694.455tonsoftonnage,a29.528-inchstroke,and18SPM.
Servo Presses, exemplified by the JB36D Straight-side Double-point Servo Press and J58 Servo Direct Drive Electric Screw Press, feature a high-rigidity welded body and a high-precision eight-sided long guide rail. They incorporate a direct drive structure that integrates a servo motor and transmission shaft, along with a low-speed, high-torque motor, compact size, and high efficiency. The ability to edit slide speeds during operation ensures high product qualification rates and production efficiency, supported by an intuitive operation interface, energy-saving features, and ultra-low power consumption.ServoPresses,exemplifiedbytheJB36DStraight-sideDouble-pointServoPressandJ58ServoDirectDriveElectricScrewPress,featureahigh-rigidityweldedbodyandahigh-precisioneight-sidedlongguiderail.Theyincorporateadirectdrivestructurethatintegratesaservomotorandtransmissionshaft,alongwithalow-speed,high-torquemotor,compactsize,andhighefficiency.Theabilitytoeditslidespeedsduringoperationensureshighproductqualificationratesandproductionefficiency,supportedbyanintuitiveoperationinterface,energy-savingfeatures,andultra-lowpowerconsumption.
High-Speed Presses encompass the YKC Series H-type Fin Press Line for HVAC fin production, rotor and stator stamping lines, and high-speed precision presses for can lids and other electronic components. The YKC Series includes an uncoiler, oil tank, air feeder, fin press, suction unit, stacker, and comprehensive electric/air/hydraulic control systems, featuring a hydro-lifting slide and converter-controlled speed, alongside a hydraulic rapid-dies changing device. The YSH NC High-speed Three/Four-point Press Line offers precision exceeding JIS-B-6402 special-grade, a dynamic balance system for low vibration and noise, 0.01mm die height adjustment precision, forced lubrication, and automatic temperature control technology.High-SpeedPressesencompasstheYKCSeriesH-typeFinPressLineforHVACfinproduction,rotorandstatorstampinglines,andhigh-speedprecisionpressesforcanlidsandotherelectroniccomponents.TheYKCSeriesincludesanuncoiler,oiltank,airfeeder,finpress,suctionunit,stacker,andcomprehensiveelectric/air/hydrauliccontrolsystems,featuringahydro-liftingslideandconverter-controlledspeed,alongsideahydraulicrapid-dieschangingdevice.TheYSHNCHigh-speedThree/Four-pointPressLineoffersprecisionexceedingJIS-B-6402special-grade,adynamicbalancesystemforlowvibrationandnoise,0.01mmdieheightadjustmentprecision,forcedlubrication,andautomatictemperaturecontroltechnology.
