Working Principle: The working principle of the APA series single crank press machine is based on the mechanical crank-link mechanism, converting the rotary motion of the electric motor into the vertical reciprocating motion of the slide. The electric motor drives the flywheel to store kinetic energy, connected to the crankshaft through a wet multi-plate friction clutch. When the clutch engages, the crankshaft rotates to drive the connecting rod to push the slide downward to stamp the workpiece. The slide applies maximum torque at the bottom dead center and returns to the top dead center through the crank mechanism. The hydraulic overload protection device monitors the load, and if it exceeds the rated capacity, the system automatically releases pressure to protect the die and body. The inverter controls the motor speed to achieve variable stroke rate, optimizing energy conversion efficiency. The entire process emphasizes precise control, using six-point gibbing to reduce lateral deviation and ensure high repeatability. Professional terminology description: This model adopts high driving torque wet clutch & brake, providing high-performance, low inertia, high torsion, low noise, dust-free, long service life, and low cost of maintenance.

Working Principle: The working principle of the JH21 series open-type one-point press machine adopts dry or wet pneumatic friction clutch and brake. The electric motor drives the flywheel through a belt to store energy. When the operator presses the two-hand buttons, the clutch engages, driving the crankshaft to rotate, and the connecting rod converts rotation into linear motion of the slide for stamping. The hydraulic overload protector releases oil pressure when the load exceeds limits to protect the machine. The electric grease lubrication system ensures component lubrication, and PLC control enables automated feeding and multi-machine linkage. Professional terminology description: This model provides high-performance wet clutch, hydraulic overload protection, electric grease lubrication system, manual thin oil lubrication, suitable for continuous stamping production lines, improving production efficiency and precision.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the APA C-frame and JH21 open-type press series?
Both are open-front (C-frame) single-crank presses for stamping automation. The APA series ranges from 25 to 80 tons with a wet-clutch drive and GB/JIS class-1 precision, while the JH21 series is rated in kN (250–1250 kN) and uses a dry or wet pneumatic friction clutch and brake. Both accept PLC-controlled feeders for an automated stamping production line.
What tonnage and stroke range do these precision pressing machines cover?
The APA models span 25, 35, 45, 60 and 80 tons with strokes of 70–110 mm and 70–110 strokes per minute. The JH21 models span 250 to 1250 kN with slide strokes from 80/50 mm up to 200/130 mm. Larger frames are available, so match the tonnage and stroke to your blanking, bending, forming or shallow-drawing job.
How does the hydraulic overload protection device protect the press and die?
A hydraulic overload protector continuously monitors slide load. If tonnage exceeds the rated capacity — from a double-feed, mis-fed strip or hard spot — the system instantly releases oil pressure, drops the slide load and stops the stroke. This protects the crankshaft, frame and stamping die from damage, which is essential for unattended punch-press automation and long die life.
Can these presses be integrated into an automated stamping line with a feeder?
Yes. With PLC control plus an NC servo feeder or air feeder and a coil straightener, a single press becomes an automated cell, or several presses link into a multi-machine production line. Optional accessories include quick die change, slide knock-out, misfeed detection and a safety light curtain, supporting high-volume automotive, electronics and hardware stamping.
What press precision and clutch type do these machines use?
All APA, JH21, APE, APC and APD models hold GB/JIS class-1 press precision. The drive uses a high driving-torque wet multi-plate friction clutch and brake, or a dry pneumatic friction clutch on certain JH21 and APD models, giving sensitive, reliable engagement with low inertia, low noise and long service life. A six-point slide guide minimizes lateral deflection for repeatable accuracy.
