with standard 2-3 day delivery. FMI builds a complete line of standard
portable hydraulic punches. Standard flange and web presses range from
30 to 275 tons. Standard railcar "sideframe" presses are rated at 64
tons. All presses contain replaceable bronze guide bushings and
replaceable die pockets to maximize service life. An extended overstroke
design helps prevent damage caused by bottoming out the ram under high
pressure. Franklin uses high quality industry standard tooling in all
our presses. Standard tooling shapes are round, square, rectangular, and
slotted. Shaped punches and dies are keyed to facilitate punch to die
alignment. Flats are used unless other desired configuration is
specified when ordering shaped dies.
Note: 1> Provisions for keyed
tooling standard 50-ton and up. 2> Special presses quoted upon request.
When considering a Franklin C-Frame
Portable Press, FMI strongly urges careful analysis of your specific
application. When properly applied, your press will provide years of
dependable service. The first step to sizing your new press is to know
the press tonnage requirements based on the material you will most often
be piercing. The following formula will give a force (in tons) estimate
using flat-faced punches/dies.
