Hydroform 12-2500
A Hydroform Press creates non-linear bends in sheet metal through single sided die forming or embossing. Our 12-2500 has a 12" diameter forming box and generates 285,000 pounds of force to push sheet metal around the form die to create highly repeatable parts for a low to mid rate and high mix production environment. The beauty of Hydro (also known as elastomeric) forming is the dies are one sided and can be made out of any number of materials such as aluminum, steel, plastic, 3D printed plastic, poured epoxy or wood. This allows for custom tools to be created on simple equipment in just a few hours.
CNC Controls
An Allen-Bradley CNC controller enables the operator to adjust the maximum forming pressure from 500 - 2500psi to accommodate a variety of tooling and part materials. These parameters can be saved for up to 200 part numbers enabling consistent results on repeat production parts.
Safety Cage & Door
The safety of employees is the first concern of every quality employer. There for we added a safety cage set from any pinch points to help prevent the operator from being able to encounter this hazard that is present in many open 2 & 4 post press designs. We also incorporated a safety door that disables press ram movement unless fully closed.
Simplified Maintenance
Makers Equipment did our best to ensure that as many wear parts on our equipment used commonly available off the shelf items, there by simplifying maintenance and reducing downtown when a breakdown happens. All non-Off the Shelf items are guaranteed to be in stock and ready for next business day shipping in order to have you equipment ready to work when you are.
