Two-stage closing: simplicity for small runs.

REP closing unit

 

These presses, with a closing force of 25 to 100 tons, are designed for small production runs not requiring the use of demolding kits.

The rapid closing speed is achieved by two closing cylinders and clamping by a direct cylinder that ensures constant working height.

 

Three-stage closing: long production run reliability.

3-stroke closing unitWith the 160 to 800 ton presses and over (1200 and 2000 tons), rapid closing is ensured by two hydraulic cylinders. A pivoting indexing block inserts itself between the movable traverse and the mold adjusting screw. A cylinder incorporated into the fixed traverse opposite the injection unit provides the clamping function.
Three-stage closing ensures a constant opening stroke whatever the thickness of the mold.

 

 

With the "C" frame, the way is clear!

The expert's opinion
Hervé Revel, Head of REP's Industrial and Technical Division
"The traverse castings of the frame have been specifically designed for each type of press to provide excellent rigidity.Deformation of the plates under load is less than 0.10 mm.

This special REP feature, combined with the shoulderless columns, ensures constant parallelism as well as exceptional tooling durability, and guarantees the dimensional quality of the parts."
