30 ton eccentric presses

Types of 30 ton eccentric presses

An eccentric press is a type of machine that works on metal with the help of an eccentric wheel which converts rotary motion into linear motion. This type of press will reduce the effect of the weight of the ram, thus increasing productivity. They are used for stamping, piercing, cutting, molding, etc.

Heavy-duty metal stamping applications make use of 30 ton eccentric presses.

• 30 ton heavy duty eccentric press: These kinds of presses have heavy frames with heavy-duty motors that can handle the most difficult pressing jobs. They are built to last and be used for decades with only minimal maintenance.
• 30 ton eccentric workshop press: Workshop presses use eccentric power to press objects down with a lot of force. They can be used to stamp metal, shape or form objects, and remove objects such as bearings and bolts from other objects. They are versatile and strong workshops.
• 30 ton manual eccentric press: These presses used to be operated manually by cranking a handle to press down the ram. Manual presses were used in times gone by when power sources were not as easy to come by. Nowadays, the manual presses are used for light jobs where a person can do the work without the press assisting.

Specifications and maintenance of 30 ton eccentric presses

Specifications for a 30 ton eccentric press include the capacity, the table size and distance between uprights.

• Press capacity

  This is the amount of tonnage the press can deliver. For 30 ton eccentric presses, this will be 30 tons or 60,000 pounds. The press going beyond this tonnage can result in damage to the machine or danger to the operator.

• Die or workpiece table size

  Table size is the length and width of it where the die or workpiece rests. It needs to be enough to support the entire workpiece that the press is shaping or cutting. If a workpiece is only partially on the table, it may get damaged or unevenly shaped.

  For a 30 ton eccentric press, the table sizes can be like 685 mm x 530 mm (27" x 21") or 812 mm x 533 mm (32" x 21").

• Distance between the uprights

  This dimension tells how big a workpiece the press can handle. It measures from one side upright to the other, inside. The more space between the uprights, the bigger and wider the materials the press can accommodate.

  30 ton eccentric presses typically have a distance between uprights of up to 700 mm (27 1/2").

Maintenance

The maintenance of a 30 ton eccentric press is very important to keep it running well for many years. Regular checks and services will help find any small problems before they get bigger, unsafe, or too expensive to fix.

• Daily inspections

  It's crucial for the operator to look at the press machine carefully each day. Check for any parts that are damaged, worn down, or out of place. Look for signs of leaking fluids like oil or coolant. Make sure all controls and emergency systems are working as they should. The day-to-day inspection helps catch small issues early when repairs are still easy and inexpensive.

• Detailed weekly checkup

  In addition to the daily inspection by the operator, a more thorough and detailed machine inspection should be done once a week. This weekly review allows for a complete examination of the press. It provides a good opportunity to find and discover potential problems that need attention but may have been missed with just the shorter daily looks.

  The more extensive weekly inspection has the benefit of preventing small issues from developing into bigger, more costly repair needs. Checking on a weekly basis ensures the eccentric press stays in good condition.
