Custom-built press for the aerospace industry
In the aeronautics sector, technical standards are particularly demanding. These include equipment durability, operational precision and machine performance. It was against this backdrop that EMG Presses, experts in manual, mechanical and hydropneumatic presses, took on a new challenge: to develop a new custom press tailored to the specific needs of an aerospace customer.
The need for power and precision
Our customer already owned a 50HRLP press from our range of rack-and-pinion presses. But over time, his needs evolved. In an industrial context subject to severe mechanical constraints, he needed a more powerful and more precise solution, particularly for a very specific type of operation: fitting large plugs into technical parts. This particular task requires considerable force to prevent any leakage or deformation resulting from the pressure exerted on the parts during the operation.
However, the 50HRLP press in use had begun to show its limitations. Not least in terms of the power exerted and the risk of frame deformation. To guarantee consistent quality without compromising the structure of the parts, the customer needed a more powerful machine capable of meeting these new constraints.
Customized solution from EMG Presses
To meet this specific need, EMG Presses designed a special press capable of delivering 6 tons of power. All this while avoiding deformation of the frame, crucial to guaranteeing tool life. Thanks to a high gear ratio, the new press requires only 35 kg of pressure on the flywheel to develop this power. A significant reduction compared with the 50HRLP press, which required more pressure to achieve similar performance.
Customized features for a modern industrial environment
In addition to the increase in power, the customer wanted specific adjustments to facilitate the use of the machine in his working environment. Consequently, EMG Presses added a number of customized features to this special press for the aerospace industry:
- A height-adjustable platen to accommodate different part sizes and operators.
- A dedicated shelf for the computer keyboard and a support for the screen to optimize workspace and ensure optimum ergonomics.
- A precision lamp, essential for operations requiring meticulous alignment and adjustment of components.
These tailor-made enhancements illustrate EMG Presses' flexible approach, committed to providing solutions tailored to the unique needs and requirements of each customer, whatever the industry.
