Column Hydraulic Press Overview

Four-Column Precision. Full-Stroke Power for Complex Forming.

The KAVDO Column Hydraulic Press (Y32 Series) features a four-column three-beam structure with independent main cylinder, ejector cylinder and blank holder cylinder — enabling deep drawing, stamping, forging, powder compaction, straightening and composite molding with fully programmable pressure, speed and dwell time.

Unlike mechanical presses limited to bottom-dead-center force, the hydraulic press delivers rated tonnage at any point in the stroke — making it the ideal choice for operations requiring sustained force over extended distances.

  • Four-column guided structure for uniform load distribution
  • Independent main, ejector & blank holder cylinders
  • Proportional pressure & speed control throughout full stroke
  • Programmable dwell time at bottom of stroke for forming & curing
  • PLC + HMI control with preset recipe memory for rapid changeover

Key Advantages

The KAVDO four-column hydraulic press combines servo-hydraulic precision, massive forming force and programmable flexibility — delivering unmatched capability for deep drawing, forging, molding and heavy stamping applications.

Full-Stroke Tonnage

Unlike mechanical presses that peak at bottom dead center, the hydraulic press delivers full rated tonnage at any point in the stroke. Adjustable approach speed, pressing speed and return speed allow optimal cycle times for every application — from slow deep draws to rapid blanking.

Proportional Pressure & Speed

Servo-proportional valves provide stepless adjustment of pressure (0–100% rated tonnage) and ram speed (approach, pressing, return) via PLC. Recipes can be saved for instant recall — enabling rapid changeover between jobs with repeatable process parameters on every cycle.

Four-Column Precision Guidance

Four precision-ground alloy steel columns guide the moving beam with zero lateral play, ensuring parallel ram travel and uniform pressure distribution across the entire bolster area. This eliminates eccentric loading concerns and guarantees consistent part quality even with off-center dies.

Multi-Process Versatility

Independent main cylinder, ejector cylinder and blank holder cylinder support deep drawing with blank holding, forging with ejection, powder compaction with counter-pressure and composite molding with programmable dwell — all from one machine with simple program changes.

Built-In Safety Systems

Hydraulic overload protection prevents damage from die collision or material overload. Two-hand anti-tie-down controls, safety light curtains (optional), pressure relief valves and emergency stop circuits ensure operator protection in compliance with CE and ISO safety standards.

Lower Tooling Cost

Slower ram approach speed and programmable tonnage mean lower impact shock on dies compared to mechanical presses — extending die life by 30–50%. No expensive flywheel, gearbox or clutch components to maintain. Simple hydraulic system reduces long-term operating costs significantly.

4-Step Hydraulic Forming Workflow

From die setup to finished parts — the four-column hydraulic press delivers programmable, force-controlled forming with full operator control at every stage of the pressing cycle.

1

Program & Setup

Load forming recipe on the HMI touchscreen — set tonnage, approach speed, pressing speed, return speed, dwell time and ejector sequence. Install die and verify safety interlocks. The press is ready in minutes with stored recipes.

2

Load Material

Place sheet metal blank, billet, powder charge or composite preform onto the bolster. Blank holder descends to clamp workpiece edges (in drawing mode). Sensors confirm material presence and proper positioning before cycle start.

3

Press & Form

Ram approaches at high speed, transitions to controlled pressing speed on material contact. Proportional valves regulate tonnage in real time. Programmable dwell holds pressure at bottom for material flow, curing or consolidation as required.

4

Eject & Unload

Ram returns at high speed. Ejector cylinder pushes finished part off the lower die. Blank holder releases. Part is removed manually or via automation. Cycle counter increments and next cycle begins immediately.
