Description
Forming process
The disc is cut into a circular shape (using laser cutting or plasma, etc.), and the disc is formed by multiple punches under the punch of the drum press, distributed over the entire disc surface.
In order to manufacture disc end faces of different types and diameters, the disc press must be equipped with dies of different shape radii. The forming process generally takes several hours. With automatic forming by PLC, the operator only needs to perform simple operations to produce.
The disc press continuously impacts the workpiece. The structure of the equipment is prone to material fatigue; it may cause the equipment to have a short life and structural problems. Equipment with a “gantry design” can better resist fatigue. The design includes a structure consisting of four main parts: a top beam, a bottom beam and two columns. The two beams are connected to the columns using hydraulic pre-tensioned tie rods. Compared with seam welds or bolts, these tie rods better resist continuous stress by providing more elasticity to the structure.
