Wire Winding Hydraulic Press: A Multifunctional Innovation

Revolutionizing the Hydraulic Press Industry with Yong Zhang's Design

The era of user-centered and User-Participated innovative design has come. Starting from the needs of users, people-oriented, meeting the needs of users, and tapping the functions of products, old products are endowed with new functions, new uses and new shapes. Starting from the concept of cost design, new materials, new methods and new technologies are adopted to reduce product costs, improve product quality and enhance product competitiveness.

Yong Zhang, a renowned designer, has introduced a groundbreaking design in the hydraulic press industry with the Wire Winding Hydraulic Press. This multifunctional hydraulic press stands out from its competitors with its unique features and innovative design. The use of a prestressed steel wire winding structure in the frame and main oil cylinder ensures a reasonable force condition, compact size, and lightweight. Additionally, the advanced anti-seepage compound sealing technology enhances the machine's environmental friendliness, energy efficiency, and overall shape and function. With its modern machinery characteristics such as multi-functionality, intelligence, and environmental protection, the Wire Winding Hydraulic Press is a game-changer in the industry.

The realization of this design is made possible through the implementation of prestressing technology. By imposing pre-tightening load on specific parts of the structure during manufacturing, the hydraulic press gains increased bearing capacity, effectively countering working stress. The use of pre-stressed steel wire, along with cast steel beams and movable cross beams, further enhances the durability and performance of the machine. The piston and cylinder tube are forged, ensuring optimal functionality and longevity.

With dimensions of 2500mm*2150mm*4580mm, the Wire Winding Hydraulic Press offers a compact yet powerful solution for various industrial applications. Its versatility and efficiency make it a valuable asset for businesses in need of plate forming, rigging, and other hydraulic press operations.

Operating the Wire Winding Hydraulic Press is a breeze. Customers can adjust the pressing speed action based on their specific mold requirements. Once the adjustment is made, the mold can be easily inserted, and the machine can be operated using the remote control. The one-key pressing feature, along with the option for delay pressing and automatic pressing, provides users with flexibility and convenience.

The Wire Winding Hydraulic Press project commenced in June 2018 and was completed in November 2018 in Shenyang. It was first used in December 2018 in Xinxiang, Hunan, where it outperformed other hydraulic presses in terms of appearance and performance. The positive feedback received led to a continuing order, solidifying the design's success in the market.

Yong Zhang's research for this design was driven by the need to address the shortcomings of hydraulic presses in China compared to foreign products. These shortcomings included a higher failure rate, oil leakage issues, and lower quality of key parts. By implementing new structural methods, reforming equipment structures, improving processing quality, and focusing on industrial design, Yong Zhang successfully tackled these challenges. The result is an upgraded and intelligent hydraulic press that significantly improves product quality, productivity, and adaptability to medium and small batch production.

The Wire Winding Hydraulic Press has received recognition for its exceptional design. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Prosumer Products, Tools, and Machinery Design category in 2019. This prestigious award acknowledges designs that demonstrate creativity, resourcefulness, and technical excellence, contributing to improvements in quality of life.

With its innovative features, advanced technology, and user-centric design, the Wire Winding Hydraulic Press by Yong Zhang is revolutionizing the hydraulic press industry. Its multifunctionality, environmental friendliness, and superior performance make it a valuable asset for businesses across various sectors.
