Lower Deflection & Greater Flexibility

Standard presses are designed to have a bed deflection of .001" to .002" per foot (,025 to ,167 mm/M) when full-rated tonnage is distributed over two-thirds of the bed. In addition, the slide deflection of a standard press will be approximately 1.5 times more than the bed deflection. The E2H has been designed with extremely low deflection, providing the ability to run tighter punch-to-die clearance, as well as the flexibility to run small, full-tonnage dies on a large press while maintaining part quality and die life.

Four massive, vertical walls of the E2H bed provide low deflection and the ability to run smaller, full-tonnage dies. Circulating oil through the bed assures
consistent bed and slide temperatures, which maintain die alignment.

The E2H slide adjustment and quick access assembly are integral to the slide structure. This provides direct support across a wide area of evenly distributed loads, resulting in low deflection and greater resistance to off-center loading.
