The machine in this clip is tooled for a family — a set of related stepped shafts in different lengths — and the video cuts between them to show changeover in practice. Each cycle follows the same choreography: part seats, probe sweeps while rollers turn it, head presses the flagged bends, verify, release. Fixturing stays on the bed; the program changes, not the hardware.
Speed compounds once loading overlaps correction: the press rarely waits for a shaft, and the rhythm stays identical from first shift to last instead of drifting with operator fatigue. Against a manual station the daily output gap is several fold, with far less scrap from over-pressing. Whether that throughput justifies an automatic build versus a hydraulic or CNC machine is weighed up in the machinery comparison guide.
It pairs well with bar and tube work — long bars, tubular axles and multi-section shafts moving through in families — with the bed chosen for the longest part in the mix and supports repositioning per recipe. Frame rigidity and support spacing are set around the family rather than a single part number. Frame sizes for these applications are compared in the bar and tube hydraulic presses section.
Send the longest and shortest parts in your range and we will confirm one bed and support layout covers both, quoting accordingly free of charge. Use the contact form.
