Rigid Reflex

Rigid Reflex Compacting Presses feature a rugged design perfectly suited for long run and high-speed production of a wide range of parts. These presses can produce parts up to 4 lower and 2 upper levels.

 
 
 
Overview
 
 

Rugged Precision Guiding

The main pressing ram is guided by a large diameter bearing and outboard guiding using long bearing husks running on the outboard guide rods. The platens are guided by long bearing husks running on large diameter guide rods that span from the crown to the bed of the press. This combination provides a rigid robust guiding system required to produce precision complex parts using close tooling tolerances.

Key Features

  • Mechanical Press

    Mechanical presses are famous for their high production rates and part making accuracy. The all steel welded construction uses a tie rod design to provide a rigid robust press structure required for precision part production. An AC Variable Frequency main drive motor provides power to double reduction gearing contained in a fully enclosed crown located above the die area to keep powder out of critical drive mechanisms. All drive mechanisms are lubricated through a double filtered pressurized recirculation oil system to ensure long reliable service under demanding conditions.

  • Programmable Feeder System

    CINCINNATI has been the leader in development of programmable controlled powder feeder systems. Operators have complete control over all critical powder feed shoe motions though the Press Control Center combined with an AC servo motor driven ball screw feeder drive. Good parts begin with consistent filling of the die cavity. The Parts Maker Programmable Feeder combination allows optimized part quality at the high production rates needed to be competitive now and in the future.

  • Withdrawal Press Motion

    Withdrawal press motion permits start of the fill function earlier in the press cycle than other types of press motion. It also reduces potential for air entrapment and causes the least disruption of the powder during entry into the die cavity. This optimizes the press cycle and helps ensure production of high quality consistent parts.

  • Multi-Level Capability

    With available options, Parts Maker Presses can be configured to produce multi-level parts using the following independently controlled part making tools: Inner Upper Punch, Middle Upper Punch, Outer Upper Punch, Shelf Die or Straight Die, Middle Platen Punch, Bottom Platen Punch, Stationary Punch, and Through, Stepped or Blind Core Rod

  • CINCINNATI Press Control Center

    Fingertip programmable computer control of press functions is provided by the CINCINNATI CNC Compact Computer Control Center. The combination of Menu Driven Software and Softkey Technology simplify set-up and operation to reduce operator effort and ensure proper production of repeat production lots. Color graphics display operator oriented information to effectively highlight critical part making functions. This powerful control was specifically designed for CINCINNATI Powdered Metal presses and provides a full range of press control, monitoring and data collection features.

  • Extensive Support Services

    CINCINNATI provides an extensive list of comprehensive support services with each new press to ensure many years of productive profitable service.
