The brief for this machine was to produce P.T.F.E billets
of varying size from powder. These billets are then machined
into seals for the automotive industry.
The machine was to run 24hrs a day, unmanned.
The P.T.F.E powder is loaded automatically, and fed into
the dies, it is then pressed from two axes up to 75 tonnes
to form the product. The finished billet is ejected automatically
down a part shute.
The press is computer controlled, all speeds, pressures
and movements are fully programmable by
the operator. |
