Mecolpress range of presses
For metals hot forging it is possible to use both mechanical and hydraulic presses. Mecolpress proposes high-tech and of different types machineries in order to satisfy nearly all production needs.
Mecolpress presses are indicated for copper, brass, steel, titanium and aluminum hot forging.
Mechanical presses
Among Mecolpress hot forging mechanical presses there are eccentric mechanical presses that are classified according to the nominal force. SOV model for vertical forging: they require an average energy consumption and are characterized by their high productivity. Instead, the SEO presses are developed for the forging of parts with coring and are divided in:
- SEO: (at single cycle): presses for forging with horizontal coring, high energy, medium Productivity
- SEO- CVE/CS: (at continuous cycle): presses for hot forging with horizontal coring, high energy, high Productivity
- SEO-F: (a ciclo singolo): (at single cycle): presses for forging with vertical coring, high energy and medium productivity
Another type of mechanical press offered by Mecolpress is the screw press.
The screw presses are divided according to the screw diameter and there are three available models:
- TDS: direct control with electrical servomotor. The screw diameter goes from 240 mm to 525 mm.
- Dellavia: friction discs control. The screw diameter goes from 130 mm to 460 mm.
- Osterwalder: friction discs control. The screw diameter goes from 150 mm to 220 mm.
Hydraulic presses
Our hydraulic presses are part of ME series and are characterized by their dies closing force that goes from 100 to 500 Tons.
These are the tonnages we have realized so far, but we can realize tonnages with greater closing force, as well. The horizontal coring punches force goes at present from 30 to 350 tons and also in this case, upon request, it is possible to produce the machine with a greater force than the indicated one.
Presses for parts coining and calibration
Mecolpress offers to its customers that need presses for parts coining and calibration the knuckle joint press of PG series, that are characterized for their low stroke and very high productivity.
These are classified according to their nominal force.
Machineries for parts trimming:
Mecolpress trimming machines are classified according to nominal force, as follows:
- PO:trimming machine with single station, low productivity, generally used for manual loading, H structure. Tons from 10 to 60.
- S: trimming machine with multiple stations, provided with rotary station with hydraulic motor. It is characterized by a medium productivity rate and it is used for manual or by automation loading, H structure. Tons from 10 to 60.
- E: Trimming machine with multiple stations, equipped with rotary table with electrical motor, high-medium productivity, more suitable for loading by automation or robot, C structure. Tonnage from 10 to 60.
Thanks to the variety of offered machineries, our sales department can suggest you the press that best fits for your project according to the type of part to realize and according to the specific conditions in which the customer operates.
Aluminum hot forging: Mecolpress presses
Aluminum is a material that is often used for the hot forging of parts used in the automotive and electric sector. Mecolpress proposes specially-made presses for the production of high-quality parts.
One of the materials, often used by the forgers, is aluminum and Mecolpress proposes different presses suitable for this type of production.
Aluminum features
Aluminum is different from the other metals because of its lightness and for its good electrical characteristics. For this reason, it can replace, according to the application, steel that is heavier, and copper that is more expensive.
Forgers often use aluminum to produce parts for the automotive sector or for cycle and motorcycle: some examples are pedals and shafts, but also valves in the fuel supply columns.
Also in the fluid regulation sector, aluminum can be adopted in various sectors of application and regulators for gas pressure are produced. Other pieces are produced through aluminum hot forging and are destined to the electric sector.
Other products, realized with aluminum, are, for example, bows for arrows shooting.
The presses for aluminum hot forging work at a temperature of about 420°C-480°C, while the die temperature is around 300°C.
Mecolpress press for aluminum
L’alluminio ha una velocità di scorrimento più bassa rispetto all’ottone e bisogna prestare particolare attenzione alla temperatura utilizzata per lo stampaggio.
Aluminum has a lower flow speed than brass one and it is important to pay particular attention to the temperature used for forging. Mecolpress sales department offers to its customers a consultation service for suggesting the most suitable press to the production of aluminum pieces.
Our production range consists, indeed, of different mechanical and hydraulic presses and according to the used alloy and to the type of part to realize we can propose the machinery that satisfy the customer’ s needs.
Moreover, at our factory it is possible to realize a forging test for being able to verify the quality of the hot forged parts produced by our presses.
