  • Publication number: 20240001421
    Abstract: An extrusion press for producing metal items by extruding a metal billet, said press comprising an extrusion die and a main cylinder including an extrusion punch adapted to be translated in two opposite directions, wherein the translation of said extrusion punch in a first extrusion direction results in a push against said billet and in the extrusion of said billet through said extrusion die, said press comprising a container and a movable punch holder crosspiece, both being translatable in two opposite directions parallel to the translation directions of said extrusion punch, wherein said container is adapted to be translated by means of at least a first dedicated cylinder including a first dedicated rod rigidly fastened to said container, and wherein said container is adapted to be moved close to said extrusion die by means of said dedicated first cylinder and rod so as to contain said billet.

  • Patent number: 11318514
    Abstract: The present invent on relates to a press for the direct extrusion of metallic material. The press comprises a supporting structure, a container receiving the metallic material to be extruded, a container holder element and a plurality of adjustment devices to adjust the position of the container holder with respect to the supporting structure. The container holder element is movable along an extrusion direction by means of a plurality of pads slidable along corresponding guides integral with the supporting structure. The press comprises at least one motorized member operationally connected to at least one of the adjustment devices to determine a variation of the position of the container holder with respect to the supporting structure.

  • Patent number: 11292041
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a press for the direct extrusion of metallic material, wherein the press comprises a supporting structure which defines an extrusion axis and a transverse direction orthogonal to said extrusion axis. The press further comprises an extrusion die and a die-holder drawer, in which said die is placed. Moving means are provided for moving said drawer along a transverse direction between a first position (P1), in which said die is aligned with said extrusion axis, and a second position in which, when reached, said die can be replaced. The press according to the invention further comprises a fixed supporting element which supports the drawer at least when it occupies the first position.

  • Patent number: 11260441
    Abstract: The invention relates to a press for extruding metal material. The press comprises a hydraulic oil circuit for controlling one or more extrusion pistons movable within corresponding cylinders. Such a circuit comprises a fixed displacement, circulation pump operated by an electric motor with variable rotation speed. The hydraulic circuit comprises a main line and a branch line, along which a shutoff element is arranged. The hydraulic circuit comprises a hydraulic control unit comprising a pilot valve arranged along a pilot line provided with a first segment communicating with the main line and a second discharging segment. Said hydraulic unit is provided to move the shutoff element between an opening position and a closing position of the branch line according to the difference between the oil pressure upstream of the shutoff element and that in the first segment of said pilot line.
