Manufacturer of Hydraulic Presses
If your shop does metalworking, you need a press, an expensive piece of equipment. The high cost puts a lot of pressure on the person doing the buying. You want to make sure you get the best press for the money and the press that will meet your needs.
To help you out, here are five questions to ask to ensure the press you end up with matches your requirements and budget.
This is actually a no-brainer, but some companies still question the superiority of hydraulic presses. Once you check out the advantages of hydraulic over mechanical presses, the answer is clear:
You want the most efficient hydraulic press for your shop’s needs. Every shop has specific requirements based on the needs of their customers. Before you approach vendors, get clear about what you want your press to do.
Put together drawings that illustrate the parts that the press will be producing. Bring these to your discussions with hydraulic press vendors. The more specific you are about what you want to produce, the closer the vendor can meet your specifications. For example, a C-frame press is accessible from three sides. More columns result in better distribution of pressure.
Will you be working with customers requiring a different type of product in the future? If so, can the press you are looking at be upgraded?
What accessories are available for the press? Specific things to look for include:
The greater the range of accessories, the more options you will have in the future. Upgrading a press with accessories is almost always less expensive than buying a separate press.
The least expensive press is not always the best deal. Buy the press that has the most capabilities for today and is upgradable for tomorrow. A slightly higher upfront investment is usually the most cost-effective solution.
Work with a manufacturer that has a large line of hydraulic presses. The wider the selection he has, the greater the range of prices to fit your budget.
Another factor is the availability of parts for the press in case repair or replacement is needed. If you have to wait for parts from across the country or from other continent, you will have much longer downtimes.
Always work with a manufacturer that is known for taking care of customers for the life of the press. Choose one that has an excellent reputation for quick, helpful customer service.
