Hydraulic Hot Press Forming Machine: Structure and Operating Notes

The hydraulic hot press forming machine in the original article consists of a frame, a table, an oil inlet line and an oil outlet line, with oil flowing through both the upper platen and the lower support plate.

Upper platen assembly

• Mounted at the top of the frame and connected through a telescopic shaft.
• Hollow platen with a first oil inlet and outlet at the rear.
• Above it a stainless-steel insulation plate and a fixing plate; the insulation plate is bolted to the platen through mounting holes and is removable.

Lower support assembly

• The table sits inside the frame, below the platen.
• Hollow support plate on a fixed plate, with support rods at front and rear.
• Second oil inlet and outlet at the rear of the support plate.

Oil routing

Inlet line → first inlet (platen) → first outlet → hose → second inlet (support plate) → second outlet → outlet line.

Operating notes

• Hold the tolerances of all connecting parts.
• Keep the work area clean.
• Protect operator safety.
• Check and test after every process step.
