THERE are four presses offered by this company, three being operated hydraulically and one mechanically.
The mechanical unit has a capacity of 10
tons and uses a screwed ram-spindle which is operated by a ratchet and pawl, each notch on the ratchet moving the ramTio in. The frame used is identical with that of the 10-ton hydraulic machine described below. The model number of this unit is 37F.
Using a ram with a stroke of 6 in. and powered by a single-speed, hand-operated pump, this model has a fabricated frame made up from mildsteel plate allowing work sizes of 31 in. in height and 22 in. in width to be accommodated. It carries the model number 37H.
A 20-ton-capacity unit having the model number 37XC-1 employs a hydraulically powered ram, again by a single-speed, hand-operated pump which has a travel of 5 in. The frame design follows closely that of the 10-ton model, but construction is much more substantial to withstand the higher stresses imposed upon it. This unit gives a maximum work space between the uprights of 22.5 in. and a maximum depth of 33.625 in.
The largest of the models offered is the 50-ton unit bearing the model number 37UC. This machine is equipped with a two-speed pump with capacities of 2 tons and 50 tons respectively on the low and high pressures. A machined work table is supplied on this model and work up to 41.5 in. wide and 39 in. high can be accommodated. The ram, which has a 12 in. stroke, is 5 in. in dia. A number of special attachments are available for use with this machine.
