Press is a kind of mechanical equipment used for pressure processing of materials, by applying a certain pressure, the shape and size of the material change to meet the production needs. The development of the press has a long history, from the initial manual press to the present CNC press, its technology and application continue to innovate and progress. At present, the press is widely used in automobile manufacturing, machinery manufacturing, metal processing, plastic products and other industries.

First, the characteristics of different types of presses

Mechanical press: Mechanical press is a mechanical transmission of the press, with simple structure, easy to operate the characteristics. Common mechanical presses are punches, shears and so on. The mechanical press is suitable for the processing and production of small batches and various kinds of parts.

Hydraulic press: Hydraulic press is a hydraulic transmission of the press, with high pressure, large tonnage characteristics, can achieve a longer distance of force transmission. Hydraulic press is suitable for large parts forming and processing, such as hydraulic press, compressor, etc.

Numerical control press: Numerical control press is a kind of press controlled by numerical control technology, with high precision, high speed, high efficiency. CNC press is suitable for complex shape, high-precision parts processing and production, such as automotive parts, aviation parts and so on.

Second, different types of press application scenarios

Mechanical press: Mechanical press is mainly used for small and medium-sized parts of stamping, shearing, bending and other processing and production. For example, many parts in automotive manufacturing are processed and produced by mechanical presses.

Hydraulic press: Hydraulic press is mainly used for the forming and processing of large parts, such as hydraulic press, compressor, etc. In the manufacture of these large equipment, hydraulic press can give full play to its high pressure, large tonnage characteristics, improve production efficiency and quality.

CNC press: CNC press is mainly used for complex shape, high-precision parts processing and production. For example, many high-precision parts such as body coverings and engine components in the automotive industry are processed and produced by CNC presses.

Three, the comparison of different types of presses

Advantages: mechanical press and hydraulic press have the advantages of simple structure, easy operation and low maintenance cost; CNC press has the advantages of high precision, high speed and high efficiency, and can adapt to the processing and production of parts with complex shapes and high precision requirements.

Disadvantages: the tonnage and accuracy of mechanical presses and hydraulic presses are limited and can not meet the production needs of higher levels; The price of the CNC press is higher, and the skill requirements of the operator are also higher.

Application scenario: Mechanical press is suitable for processing and production of small and medium-sized parts; Hydraulic press is suitable for large parts forming and processing; CNC press is suitable for complex shape, high precision parts processing and production.

The characteristics of different types of presses and their applications are different, and each type of press has its own unique application scenarios and advantages and disadvantages. In the actual production process, it is necessary to select the right type of press according to the specific needs and conditions in order to achieve the purpose of improving production efficiency, reducing costs and ensuring product quality. With the continuous progress of science and technology, there will be more new types of presses and technologies in the future, bringing more innovation and development to industrial production.
