High speed hydraulic press

Abstract

There is disclosed a high speed hydraulic press, having a press machine body (1) that is constructed of a C-shaped frame (1a), a high speed operable hydraulic cylinder assembly (3) with a portion of hydraulic cylinder disposed in an upper part of the press machine body, and a slide (6) that is coupled to the hydraulic cylinder assembly and adapted to be moved thereby vertically up and down, the press comprising: a manifold block (4) having a passage therein and mounted to the hydraulic cylinder assembly directly on a front surface of the cylinder; and a control valve unit (8) that is associated with the manifold block for delivering a pressure fluid into the hydraulic cylinder via the passage in the manifold block while controlling at least one of parameters of the pressure fluid including flow rate and pressure thereof.
