Hydraulic presses are widely used for several applications in different industries. This is due to the versatility and flexibility that a hydraulic press can provide. In general, hydraulic presses are designed to deliver adjustable speeds, pressures and position during the stroke. When compared to mechanical presses, hydraulic presses cannot achieve the same speed levels, however, a hydraulic press can provide full tonnage at any point in the stroke unlike a mechanical press which has a full tonnage rating point at .5” or less from the bottom of the stroke. In addition to that, press manufacturers continue to develop new technologies to address the industry demands, which includes higher speeds, energy savings, and more control during the stroke.

The next level for Sutherland and our customers is Servo Hydraulic and the advantages it brings. Our I-PRESS® & Automation Control System has changed the way user’s interface with the press, offering completely programmable motion, pressure and speed profiles throughout the stroke. Imagine being able to reduce secondary operations, reduce energy consumption and reduce press maintenance just to name a few key advantages.

Starting with the $1000.00 for the BD press, you need to ask what
else can I get for that money or less? that would do the same job.
The answer will depend on where you are, how near you are to any
industrial metal working area and the space you might have or not
for some other machine, like a fly press.
This can be anything from 1 ton up to 10 tons energy delivery,
weighing from 100lbs or so up to 1 ton.
This had a heavy cast iron or steel frame, a base with a hole in it
a large screw above the base with an arm on this with balls of iron
each end.
These can weigh anything from 20 lbs to 200 lbs each.
Hand operated, fast and accurate if not worn out. as to size for
what you want to do, from 4 ton upward, tho if youve space for 2,
then a 2 ton and a 6 ton would do all you would want.
Where to find these? SH machinery dealers, within say 100 mile
should be where you start looking. Go and look at them.
Gogle fly presses for pictures. The small ones can be bolted to a
strong wooden bench.
the bigger ones come with their own cast iron base that needs
bolting down to a concrete floor.
Do your research into all Ive said. These presses are standard in
the birmingham jewellery workshops in the UK. More versatile than any
hyd press.
Tho its nice to have some of each. There too slow for modern
production but ideal for folk like us.
A good one will last you all your life and the next generation after
that. There ideal for blanking pressing, bending, embossing, doming
etc.
Costs dont finish once youve the press installed, the tooling will
usually cost more than the press.
Research tooling as well.
Its a great journey getting one of these tools. AND there a pleasure
to use.
