Press Forming

Press machines are used in the metalworking industry for processes such as cutting, shaping, and bending sheet metal. Two of these machines are the deep drawing press and the eccentric press. The deep drawing press is used to bend and draw metal sheets into deep and complex shapes, while the
eccentric press is used for punching, cutting, and shaping metal sheets. Both machines play a crucial role in the metalworking process and are selected based on specific applications.

Deep Drawing Press

A deep drawing press operates on the principle of compressing and shaping a metal sheet between two main dies. The operating principle can be summarized as follows:

  1. Loading: The metal sheet is placed into the die area of the press machine.
  2. Compression: The upper die moves towards the metal sheet and compresses it against the stationary lower die.
  3. Shaping: The metal sheet is compressed and drawn between the dies to achieve the desired shape. During this process, the metal is stretched and bent from various angles to form the final shape.
  4. Ejection: After the shaping process is complete, the formed metal part is removed from the press machine.

The deep drawing press has a wide range of applications:

  • Automotive Industry: Production of engine covers, body panels, fuel tanks, and other parts.
  • Industrial Products: Manufacturing of metal containers, cylindrical parts, pipes, and various metal products.
  • Construction: Production of metal components for steel structures and architectural details.

Cylindrical Shapes

  • Pipes and Cylinders: Metal sheets are bent into a cylindrical form to produce pipes or cylinders. This process is used for manufacturing pipe and cylinder components required for various industrial applications.

Conical Shapes

  • Conical Parts: Metal sheets are bent into a conical form to create cone-shaped pieces. Such conical shapes are often needed for storage tanks and other cylindrical structures.

Circular Shapes

  • Surfaces and Rings: Metal sheets are bent into a circular form to produce circular or rounded surfaces and rings. These shapes are commonly used for lids, rings, and round plates.

Square and Rectangular Shapes

  • Square or Rectangular Panels: Metal sheets are bent into square or rectangular forms to create various panels and covers. These shapes are typically used in various industrial and construction applications.

Ring Shapes

  • Rings and Bands: Metal sheets are bent into ring shapes to produce rings or band-like components. This is particularly necessary for steel rings and circular components.

Custom Shapes and Details

  • Special Forms and Decorative Elements: Deep drawing press can create special shapes and detailed designs on metal sheets. These shapes are usually designed for aesthetic and functional purposes.

Deep Drawn Shapes

  • Deep Drawn Parts: Metal sheets can be processed into deeper and more complex shapes through deep drawing. This technique is commonly used in the automotive and white goods industries.

Covers and Cover Shapes

  • Cover Designs: Metal sheets are bent into cover shapes to create various cover designs. These parts are typically used for containers and boxes.
Eccentric Press

Eccentric Press is a machine used for creating various metal parts in the metalworking industry. This machine typically has high pressure capacities, such as 60 tons, making it suitable for processing thick and durable materials. The eccentric press offers a wide range of applications in metalworking. Here are some of its uses:

  • Metal Part Production: Used in industries such as automotive, construction, and machinery for producing various metal parts.
  • Stamping: Applies stamps to metal surfaces to create brands or patterns.
  • Molding: Applies molds to cut or bend metal sheets into specific shapes.

The eccentric press is a type of mechanical press widely used in metal and sheet metal processing. It is particularly preferred for performing the following operations:

  • Embossing: Used to apply embossing or patterns to the surfaces of metal sheets.
  • Bending: Performs bending operations on metal parts at specific angles.
  • Shaping: Shapes metal sheets into desired forms and sizes.
  • Riveting: Conducts riveting processes to join metal parts together.
  • Drilling: Used to create holes in metal sheets.
  • Drawing: Involves drawing metal sheets into specific shapes.
  • Cutting: Cuts metal sheets into specified shapes.
  • Pressing: Applies high pressure to metal sheets to produce various shapes and sizes.

These processes provide flexibility and versatility in metal and sheet metal processing, making them effective for various industrial applications.
