01 — Press System

1600 Ton Four Column Hydraulic Press Machine

The 1600-ton four-column hydraulic press provides massive multi-axis force with exceptional structural rigidity for heavy-duty powder metallurgy tooling production. Its heavy-duty framework ensures precise column parallelism and minimum frame deflection under maximum compaction tonnage.

Use Case

Engineered for high-density compaction of large tungsten carbide inserts, high-speed steel dies, and heavy-duty wear-resistant PM tooling components. It delivers intense pressure to achieve uniform green density across thick-section tool blanks and complex cutting profiles.

  • Core Applications: Provides high-tonnage compaction for heavy industrial cutting inserts, mining equipment wear pads, oil and gas drilling bits, and high-performance metalworking tool preforms. It is ideal for producing high-durability PM parts that demand extreme hardness and high compressive strength.
  • Material: Processes tool steel, high-speed steel (HSS), tungsten carbide, iron-based PM alloys, and cobalt-based superalloys blended with organic binders and lubricants. This advanced material matrix enables excellent powder flow, high green strength, and minimal die wall friction.
  • Products Processed: Compacts heavy carbide indexable inserts, large tool blanks, cold-forming die inserts, punch tips, and wear plates. It yields uniform density throughout thick-walled preforms to prevent warping or micro-cracking during vacuum sintering.
  • Why 1600-Ton Hydraulic Press: The 1600-ton capacity delivers the force required to consolidate tough, hard-to-compact refractory powders into ultra-high target green densities. Hydraulic pressure control ensures consistent multi-stage compaction without density gradients or edge chipping across heavy tool geometries.
