Beckwood To Supply Hydraulic Deep Draw Press To Columbia Metal Spinning

on of Beckwood To Supply Hydraulic Deep Draw Press To Columbia Metal Spinning   
 is a premier press builder. They build and deliver the most robust and reliable hydraulic presses, specialty forming equipment and machinery in the world. Recently Beckwood Press is awarded with a contract of making  a New Hydraulic Product a custom 450-ton hydraulic deep draw press by Columbia Metal Spinning, a leader in the productiprecision metal spun and deep drawn parts. The 450-ton hydraulic deep draw press work should be completed in August 2017.    With a 54” x 54” forming area and a 120-ton hydraulic bed cushion, the new press will be optimal for Columbia Metal Spinning’s deep draw operations. Using a proportional control valve for dynamic control through four different travel zones, the bed cushion applies the resistance necessary to draw the blank material around the tool with ease, reducing wrinkling and guaranteeing optimal material flow throughout the cycle. Since part quality and repeatability are critical in Columbia Metal Spinning’s job shop environment, Beckwood engineers will develop an intuitive controls system that operates in both manual and semi-automatic modes. Using dual linear and pressure transducers for position and pressure feedback, operators will be able to store and recall part recipes with ease.
