Hello Friends ... In designing an upstroke hydraulic press having Two daylights and overall Platen dimensions of 3164 mm x 1792 mm x 63 mm, it was felt that, while the structure could be of welded construction, the Platens, Press Bed and Hydraulic Cylinders/ Rams could be in CAST Steel. The following illustration describes the basic data:
The questions are:
1. Is it technically acceptable to have Steel Cast Platens and Press Bed? What materials are suggested?
2. Would it be a technically sound proposition to have the Hydraulic Cylinders and the Rams also in Cast Steel? What materials are suggested?
3. The usual design opts for six Cylinder/ Ram systems to impart the Hydraulic Pressure on the Bed, which in turn would be transferred to the Platens. Would it be appropriate to redesign the bed system such that the entire Bed base acts as a Ram, with the Hydraulics working on the ram itself?
These thoughts have come up toward reducing the construction costs and also to reduce the Energy multi-fold. It is felt that the Prime mover (electric Motor Power) could be reduced to one-fourth.
