Choosing the Correct Hydraulic Broaching Press
Hydraulic broaching presses are designed for controlled push-broaching operations where a long working stroke and consistent pressing force are required. Workshop Press supplies RHTC broaching presses for professional workshop, maintenance and production applications.
When selecting a broaching press, the principal considerations are required force, stroke length, working speed, tooling dimensions and workpiece size. The press must provide sufficient capacity for the broaching operation while allowing adequate stroke for the broach and component.
Key Broaching Press Selection Factors
Frequently Asked Questions About Hydraulic Broaching Presses
Where can I view your broaching presses?
Our range of hydraulic broaching presses can be viewed on our Broaching Press category page. You can also contact us to discuss viewing available machinery at our Kenilworth premises.
How do I determine the required broaching press capacity?
Press capacity is the maximum force available for the broaching operation. The required capacity depends on the broaching tool, workpiece material and the particular operation being performed. The selected machine must provide sufficient force for the application.
What is the difference between an RHTC broaching press and workshop press?
The basic frame arrangement is similar. A principal difference is the longer stroke provided by the broaching press to accommodate broaching tools and the travel required during the broaching operation.
Why is stroke length important?
Stroke length determines the available movement of the press piston and attached broaching tool. It must be sufficient for the length of the broach and the workpiece being processed.
Why does broaching speed matter?
Working speed affects the rate at which the broaching tool travels through the operation and therefore influences production time. Speed requirements should be considered alongside force, stroke and the particular broaching process.
What safety features are provided?
RHTC broaching presses incorporate safety-related features including a pressure relief valve and locking mechanism. The exact machine specification should be checked for the particular model being considered.
What warranty is provided?
Broaching hydraulic presses supplied by The Workshop Press Company are provided with a 2-year warranty.
How much does a broaching press cost?
Pricing depends on machine capacity, size and specification. Contact Workshop Press for current pricing on the machine appropriate for your application.
What maintenance does a hydraulic broaching press require?
Routine maintenance includes keeping the machine clean, inspecting hydraulic hoses and maintaining the correct hydraulic oil level. Maintenance requirements for the individual machine should be followed in accordance with its supplied documentation.
Do operators require training?
Operators should be trained in the correct use of the machine and should read the supplied user handbook before operation. Workshop Press can also provide operator training where required.
