Beckwood to deliver 200-ton forming press to Metal Forming Industries
- June 17, 2021
- News Release
- Bending and Forming
Beckwood Press Co., a St. Louis manufacturer of custom hydraulic and servo-electric presses and automation systems, has been awarded a contract by Metal Forming Industries to manufacture a 200-ton hydraulic forming press. Scheduled for delivery later in 2021, the press will be used to make copper components for the utility industry.
The custom, four-post press will feature a Delta high-speed motion controller to achieve positional accuracy within +/-0.005 in. or better. A 20-ton ejection cylinder will strip the finished part from the tool and present it for removal. To overcome the deflection caused by point-loading of the tool, additional rigidity will be added to the press structure. It will offer a 373-IPM approach speed and a 299-IPM retract speed.
