pressdelar

Pressdelar is a term used to describe the components and subassemblies that make up a press, a machine designed to shape, cut, or assemble material by applying high force. The word is used in metalworking and, less commonly, in other forming processes. A pressdelar set is typically viewed as the moving and stationary parts together with the tooling, rather than the entire control system or peripheral equipment.

Common elements of pressdelar include the frame or housing, the bed or bolster, and the ram or slide that moves the tooling. The die set, consisting of punches and dies, is mounted on the ram and bed. A stripper or hold-down plate removes the finished part and keeps the tooling in position during operation. The drive system varies by type and can be a mechanical crank and flywheel, a hydraulic cylinder, or a servo-driven mechanism. Additional components include lubrication systems, safety guards, control panels, sensors, and emergency-stop devices. In stamping operations, feeding and alignment devices may be part of the pressdelar to ensure consistent part tolerances.

Types of presses that employ a pressdelar include mechanical presses, hydraulic presses, and servo presses, as well as turret and progressive-stamping configurations. Applications range from stamping and punching to deep drawing and forming, across automotive, electronics, appliance, and consumer-product manufacturing.

Maintenance and selection of pressdelar involve assessing tonnage, stroke, die size, and tooling compatibility, as well as regular inspection, alignment checks, lubrication, and safety compliance to minimize wear and ensure reliable operation.
