The press <\/strong>is a type of machine tool<\/a><\/strong> widely used in the industry mechanized <\/strong>and has the objective of change the shape of a piece<\/strong>. To achieve this, the machine uses pressure<\/strong>. How do the presses work? What types of pressing machines exist? We tell you about it in this article. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do the presses work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

He principle of operation of presses<\/strong> It's very simple: it applies pressure <\/strong>for transform <\/strong>one piece. However, depending on the matrix <\/strong>that is attached to the machine, the jobs can be executed simultaneously or not. In a press it is possible to do different types of machining, such as giving shape<\/strong>, to stamp<\/strong>, cut <\/strong>and make holes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The machine is responsible for press the matrix <\/strong>against the material to be worked, through a rotatory motion<\/strong> which can be total or partial. The force that the press generates varies depending on the trajectory <\/strong>which, at the same time, depends on the angle of application of said force<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In addition to knowing how presses work<\/strong>, it is important to highlight that these machines are capable of producing large amounts of energy<\/strong>, but always in a controlled manner and they accept materials such as steel, bronze, iron, aluminum <\/strong>and copper<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, presses can qualify <\/strong>depending on the driving mechanism, function, structure or controllability. Today we are going to focus on two of the most common types of presses<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of presses by their drive mechanism<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mechanical presses<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The mechanical presses<\/strong> are used when necessary deform pieces<\/strong> using great pressure. These are the most conventional <\/strong>and, also, very versatile. They are used in the automotive and aeronautical industries to manufacture parts for cars and airplanes. You can also find them in the factories <\/strong>where kitchen supplies are produced and in the metalworking industry<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The force used<\/strong> by the mechanical press varies according to the magnitude<\/strong>, the speed <\/strong>and the distance <\/strong>suddenly. How do mechanical presses work? It is a process similar to that of hit a nail with a hammer<\/strong>, in which the hammer accumulates energy from the moment it accelerates to suspend itself in the air until it collides with the head of the nail. At this moment, the tool releases a force that is greater than the initial one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mechanical presses<\/strong> They have a electric motor<\/strong> that spins a steering wheel <\/strong>in which energy accumulates and transforms movement from circular to linear. The motor is also responsible for releasing stored energy to apply a force equivalent to several tons<\/strong>. In mechanical presses it is possible cut, deform, forge, stamp<\/strong> and stuff<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two types of mechanical presses<\/strong> most common are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
