Tank Dishing Presses

Do you need a press and the tooling also? I own a tool and die shop I could make a package deal for you, as you would need a good size press.

Tooling would be required at some point. At the moment we are using a male and female die with 8 foot radius made of hardened steel. The mail is on buttress threads and is turned counter or counter clockwise to achieve the desired bump radius.

With the right size press we will require various dies and will stack press.

What type, size, etc. presses do you have available ?

What are you looking for a 200 ton press or higher ?

We could make due with a 200 Ton. Due you have one or know of one ?

Thanks

I am checking with Valley Equipment to see if they have any left. The Chinesse were in last year and may have bought everything that was not nailed down.

Here is their web site not everything is listed on the web site might be worth a phone call.

Thanks for checking with bluevalley.

You mentioned another web site but didn't list it in your post.

Can you resend with web address.

Thanks

Would you prefer mechanical or hydraulic? I would think hydraulic would be better for forming a part.Mechanical would be better for punching.

Hydraulic or Mechanical would do the job. We currently use a 200 ton mechanical with a two foot diameter die the we turn clockwise or counter clockwise to change dish radius. It engages with a mechanical clutch and continues to cycle until disengaged. This allows sufficient time for the men to move the sheet side to side and advance into the machine as they come to the end of the side.

Hydraulic would be to slow for one piece at a time but would allow us to stack press several blanks at a time. Hydraulic would require dies for each of our standard tank heads. This would be a considerable investment but a huge savings in labor.

would you like a price on both methods?

I would like a price for both methods.

Thank you for your help.

Give me a call at Atlantic coast mfg...1-954-938-6228 and we can discuss it,

and I can get more details.

how about a 200 ton heim wioth a 10 ft bed?

Do you have any info. on the machine ?

Photo or two would help.

Thanks,

I will get all that I can and send it to you.

Have you looked into a Blue Valley

Does anyone have a formula for spring back. We are pressing .25 inch thick A-36 plates into knuckle pieces for large diameter tank heads. The blank is 6' long and pie shaped with a 5' width in back and 3' width in front. The longitude's radius is 5.5' and the horizontal varies from 15' on large end to 22' on small end. We have made a die with ribs that have the compound radius. The dies are about 6 inches wider than the blank. The dies are also 1" larger than the blanks. We intend to start by over pressing by .25 inches and continue hoping to find our way the hard way. We are wondering if there is a formula to calculate the spring back.
