1,000 to 1,975 Ton Custom Hydraulic Press Systems
French Oil engineers and manufactures custom hydraulic press systems with capacities from 1,000 to 1,975 tons at our Piqua, Ohio facility. Each press is designed around the manufacturing process, including force requirements, pressing surface, daylight, stroke, temperature control, automation, facility constraints, and long-term service access.
High-Tonnage Presses Engineered Around the Application
At this capacity, tonnage is only the starting point. Part geometry, material behavior, tooling, cycle requirements, pressure distribution, and temperature uniformity all influence the final press configuration.
French Oil works with manufacturers to evaluate these variables before the design is finalized. This engineering process helps reduce specification risk and ensures that the press, controls, thermal system, and material-handling equipment function as one production system.
Engineering Variables That Define Press Performance
French Oil evaluates the complete process before recommending a press configuration, including:
- Required press capacity and force distribution across the pressing surface
- Bed and platen dimensions based on the part, mold, and tooling
- Daylight, stroke, and opening requirements
- Frame rigidity and deflection control under full load
- Sideplate or column construction
- Up-acting or down-acting operation
- Single-opening or multiple-daylight configurations
- Heating and cooling requirements
- Pressure, position, speed, temperature, and cycle control
- Automation and material-handling requirements
- Equipment footprint and facility constraints
- Maintenance access and long-term serviceability
Available Press Features and Configurations
Depending on the application, French Oil hydraulic presses in this capacity range can include:
- Precision hydraulic and control packages
- Sideplate or column construction
- Multi-zone heated or cooled platens
- Compression molding, transfer molding, vacuum molding, and lamination configurations
- Multiple-daylight press designs
- Shuttle systems and automated loading or unloading
- Overhead hydraulic power units to reduce equipment footprint
- Recipe storage and process monitoring
- Light curtains, alarms, guarding, and application-specific safety systems
- Controls and automation designed around the required production sequence
Applications for 1,000 to 1,975 Ton Hydraulic Presses
French Oil has designed presses in this capacity range for SRIM processing, compression molding, multi-daylight molding, large-format component manufacturing, and other demanding industrial applications.
The examples below demonstrate how pressing surface, construction type, daylight, platen temperature, controls, and automation can be configured for different production requirements. These examples represent previously delivered systems. New presses are engineered around the requirements of the customer’s process.
Start With the Process Requirements
A productive press specification begins with more than a tonnage requirement. French Oil engineers can help evaluate force, pressing area, tooling, daylight, stroke, thermal requirements, controls, automation, and installation constraints before the final specification is written.
