Massive Frame Construction
The PM4 boasts a massive four-piece, pre-loaded frame utilizing high tensile cast iron for the ultimate in vibration and noise dampening. The ultra-low deflection cast bed includes two double walls which reduce front-to-back deflections by 33 percent over industry standards for general purpose presses. This gives the user the flexibility to run small, full tonnage dies on a large press while maintaining part quality and extending die life.
All PM4 presses have large tie rod nuts with rolled threads. Rolled threads are capable of handling up to three times the load of standard cut threads. This added capability is essential in the event of an overload situation.
Iron has 2.5 to 4.5 times the dampening capability of steel. Therefore, the PM4 utilizes castings where applicable in its beds, slides and uprights to dampen vibration and noise created in high vibration and snap-thru applications.
