The VPZ hydraulic press is a combined piercing and drawing press designed for the hot extrusion and ironing of long hollow parts, such as axle tubes, tool joints and gas bottles.

Special features:

• Rigid press frame
• Press head designed as oil reservoir with head cover to accommodate the compact press drive
• High pressing speeds in order to minimise contact time, and heat build up between die and punch
• Long ram guides infinitely adjustable by taper gibs that ensure great accuracy when subjected to eccentric loads
• One or several adjustable axial piston pumps as immersion pumps on the head cover  depending on press size and speed
• Forged press cylinder and press piston with honed or ground running faces
• Fully automated part manipulation
• Integrated die lubrication system with combined internal and external cooling of the tools
• Programmable control system with operator guidance, product data administration and modem for remote diagnostics
