Hydraulic presses are machines that are used in a variety of industries. They have a hydraulic system that will lift and move the actual parts that do the pressing. The hydraulic systems will let the machine produce higher forces than a machine without hydraulics moving the pieces would be able to make. Those higher forces do things like making coins. The minting machines are specialized hydraulic presses that have the dies for the coins on the presses. When the hydraulics are activated, they press down very hard on the coin blank, making the two sides of the coin. Hydraulic presses come in a variety of types. 

Roll Frame Hydraulic Press

A roll frame hydraulic press is a standing floor press. The presses are set into a frame. The upper press may come down from a center piston, but it may also come down on a trolley that runs down the sides of the frame. A roll frame press has a longer table, allowing longer materials to go through the press.

In some models, the table will move through the frame, letting new material go through the press. Other models will have a structure that moves along the table instead. One benefit of using a roll frame hydraulic press is that the operator will be able to control how much force the press produces better, and they will be able to work on more complicated pieces better.  

Arbor Press

Arbor presses are smaller presses. The presses are designed to be mounted on a table or counter and have a mounting plate or a base with mounting holes. Arbor presses are often used to do things like install rivets in materials and install bearings. Because it is a smaller press, it will be a more precise machine suitable for small and accurate jobs.

The C press is an even smaller press than the arbor press and is designed to be moved. Using one of these presses must be clamped to the surface so that it will be stable when it is being used. 

Hydraulic presses are used in many fields, including entertainment. Some content creators have purchased hydraulic presses and film themselves smashing things in their presses. While that can be a lot of fun, it isn't the prime job of any press. Because there are many different kinds of these machines, getting one that will work for your needs should be no problem.
