Hill Engineering HAP Series Standard Air Presses

Hill Engineering HAP Series Standard Air Presses

Hill Engineering Pneumatic Air Presses (HAP) have high speed, very fast, very repetitive ram action, which means they are very repeatable for an open loop measuring. This is a very cost-effective way of buying tonnage and die space. The presses are usually lightweight and easy to move from line to line if required and are less costly than hydraulic or mechanical presses. The Hill Engineering application/sales team is trained to help you choose the correct press applications and correct tonnage selections… give us a call to discuss your press questions.

Yoder Four-Headed Mill Cutoff — partnership with Milltech

Yoder Four-Headed Mill Cutoff — partnership with Milltech

Yoder has been involved with the pipe producing market for many years. Cutoffs have evolved from rotary disc or tool machines to friction saws to the latest saw technologies. Milling saws provide a fantastic edge finish with minimum burr but tend to have longer cycle times. Formtek works with its licensee Milltech to provide the pipe mill markets the highest quality with the greatest performance. Milltech has developed mill cutoff systems utilizing 2-heads or 4-heads (depending on pipe size) to provide the best combination of end finish and cycle time performance. These machines are designed to handle the heavy strains put on them by the demanding cycles required by our customers.
