Tech Update
Large Hydroforming Presses for Deep Drawing
Beckwood Press Co., St.
Louis, MO, has advanced
its Triform sheet-hydro-
forming product line with
the introduction of new, large
deep-draw BD-series mod-
els. The new models include
updates to the pressure-
containment system that
reportedly result in signifi-
cantly improved cycle times.
Also, each new press comes
equipped with Triform’s stan-
dard, efficient and ergonom-
ic tool-change system that
minimizes changeover times.
A cartridge-style chamber is conveyed through the rear opening of the press, present- ing the blankholder and punch to the operator. An optional T-table allows the operator to stage a secondary cartridge, including the blankholder and punch. The system also allows the press to convert quickly from a deep-draw configuration to a fluid-cell con- figuration, for shallow forming without the need for a movable punch tool.
The new BD designs are configurable, giving metalformers options for either a hor- izontal layout with the hydraulic power unit (HPU) positioned to the side of the forming chamber, or a vertical one, which features a crown-mounted HPU. Where floor space is a concern, the vertical configu- ration is significantly smaller than previous Triform models with an equivalent forming area.
