15 Ton Single-Arm Servo Hydraulic Press: Applications & Core Advantages
The 15-ton single-arm servo hydraulic press is a compact, high-precision forming equipment designed for light-duty metal and non-metal processing. Combining the flexibility of a single-column structure with the energy efficiency and precision of a servo system, it outperforms traditional hydraulic presses in small-load, high-accuracy operations, making it an ideal choice for small and medium-sized batches of precision processing across multiple industries.
Unlike conventional hydraulic presses that operate at a constant speed, this servo-driven model adjusts oil supply on demand, delivering significant energy savings and superior process control. Below is a detailed breakdown of its key applications and competitive advantages, helping you understand how it can enhance your production efficiency and product quality.
I. Key Applications
Focusing on processing tasks requiring less than 15 tons of pressure, this equipment is widely used in hardware, electronics, auto parts, instruments, and heavy machinery supporting industries. Specific applications include:
1. Cold Forming
It is suitable for shallow drawing, bending, embossing, and blanking of small hardware parts, such as cold extrusion forming of small metal gaskets, micro bushings, and secondary shaping of light stamping parts. It can also realize letter pressing on nameplates and precise forming of small-sized metal components, meeting the requirements of fine surface and dimensional accuracy.
2. Assembly & Press Fitting
Ideal for interference fit assembly of precision components, including pressing micro bearings into bushings, fitting electronic connectors, assembling small motor rotors with end covers, and pressing valve cores or seals for small hydraulic valve groups (supporting small parts processing for heavy hydraulic equipment). The precise pressure control avoids damage to fragile parts during assembly.
3. Calibration & Straightening
Used for straightness correction of small shafts and rods, flattening of slight deformations in light stamping parts and castings, and straightening of small screws and rivets. It ensures that the dimensional accuracy of parts meets the assembly standards, reducing the rejection rate caused by deformation.
4. Other Light-Duty Processing
It can also perform punching, trimming, and riveting of small workpieces, compression molding of non-metallic parts (rubber, plastic, leather), and press-fitting testing of small components (such as detecting the press-fitting force of small parts) to meet diverse processing needs.
II. Core Advantages
Compared with traditional hydraulic presses and four-column hydraulic presses, the 15-ton single-arm servo hydraulic press has obvious advantages in energy saving, precision, operation flexibility, and cost control.
1. Servo System Advantages
High Energy Efficiency, Reduced Operating Costs
Adopting a combination of servo motor and variable displacement pump, it supplies oil on demand. When idling or under light load, the motor operates at low speed or stops, achieving a comprehensive energy saving of 40%-70% compared with traditional constant-speed motor hydraulic presses. For small-tonnage equipment used daily, the electricity cost savings are considerable.
High Precision Control for Precision Processing
It can precisely control pressure, speed, and stroke, with a pressure accuracy of ±1% and a stroke positioning accuracy of ±0.01mm. It supports multi-stage pressure/speed switching (such as slow feed - pressure application - pressure holding - slow retraction), which is perfectly suitable for precision assembly and micro-forming, avoiding part damage caused by overpressure. It meets the strict quality requirements of precision component processing.
Low Noise & Low Oil Temperature, Improved Working Conditions
The servo system operates stably, and the overall noise of the machine is 5-10dB lower than that of traditional hydraulic presses (about 60-70dB, close to daily conversation volume). On-demand oil supply reduces hydraulic oil heating, and the oil temperature rise is reduced by more than 30%, eliminating the need for frequent cooling. This not only improves the working environment but also extends the service life of hydraulic oil and seals, reducing maintenance costs.
Intelligent Control & Easy Traceability
It supports digital setting and storage of parameters such as pressure, stroke, and pressure holding time, and can record the processing data of each process. It is suitable for flexible production of small and medium batches, and facilitates product quality traceability, helping enterprises meet strict quality control standards.
2. Single-Arm Structure Advantages
Large Operating Space, Convenient Loading & Unloading
The single-column open structure allows for multi-directional clamping and feeding of workpieces from the front and sides. It is suitable for processing irregular small workpieces and single-piece/small-batch workpieces, without the need for complex tooling. Its processing flexibility is much higher than that of four-column hydraulic presses.
Small Footprint, Low Investment Cost
The whole machine is small in size, covering only a few square meters, which is suitable for supporting layout in workshop production lines (such as light component processing areas of heavy machinery factories). In addition, the 15-ton small-tonnage servo model has lower purchase and installation costs than four-column servo presses of the same tonnage, reducing the initial investment burden of enterprises.
Easy Tooling Adjustment, Suitable for Multi-Variety Processing
The replacement and adjustment of molds and tooling do not require alignment of multiple columns, with low operation difficulty and high changeover efficiency. It is suitable for the production needs of multiple varieties and small batches in hardware, auto parts and other industries, improving production flexibility.
3. Advantages of 15-Ton Small Tonnage
For small-load processing, compared with large-tonnage hydraulic presses, it avoids energy waste caused by overcapacity. The equipment operates more flexibly and has lower maintenance costs. At the same time, it will not cause workpiece deformation due to excessive pressure when processing small parts, ensuring processing quality and improving production efficiency.
III. Suitable Industries
This equipment is especially suitable for:
Hardware processing factories, electronic parts factories, and micro auto parts factories for light precision processing;
Heavy machinery (hydraulic presses, vertical lathes, radial drills) production factories, supporting the assembly and pressing of small precision components (such as hydraulic valve cores, small bearing seats, radial drill small parts);
Scientific research institutes and laboratories for trial production of small workpieces, or small and medium-sized enterprises for small-batch flexible production.
In summary, the 15-ton single-arm servo hydraulic press integrates energy saving, precision, flexibility and cost-effectiveness, and is a cost-effective choice for enterprises engaged in light precision processing. It can not only improve production efficiency and product quality but also reduce operating costs, helping enterprises enhance their market competitiveness.
