COMBINATION PRESS PADS

BASIC CONFIGURATION

UNISORB Titan Shock Pads are inserted into the Red-Line material which acts as a frame for secondary support. Full contact is obtained with sizes matching each press foot. By varying the size and number of inserts, it ensures that the combination pads are working within optimum load ranges. This interdependent system allows the pads to be fine-tuned to the individual support requirements of the press.

PERFORMANCE AND OPTIMUM LOADS

The optimum load range for the Combination Press Pad Combination Pads with Titan Shock Pad inserts is between 800 and 1000 psi. This places the material in a favorable compressive work range for maximum pad life. Calculations are made to determine the approximate configuration for each pad set.

The performance of a press is greatly affected by how it is installed. Without   proper support, a multitude of problems can occur from unwanted vibrations to premature wear of press components and tooling. Due to the higher cost of mounts, pad materials are often used where critical levelling and alignment is not required. Problems can occur however, when the combined weight/force of the press exceeds the capacity of these conventional materials. Careful selection is necessary to ensure that the pad accommodates the difference between the static and dynamic forces and other factors such as off-load conditions.

Combination Press Pads are now available to
meet the specific requirements of each press applications.
