Taurus High Tonnage Cutting, Plating & Embossing Presses
Taurus high tonnage presses are designed for demanding industrial applications where substantial, accurately controlled pressing force is required. Suitable for cutting, plating, embossing and other specialist manufacturing processes, these heavy-duty hydraulic presses provide manufacturers with the power, stability and repeatability required for consistent production.
Taurus presses are assembled in the UK by Cutting Systems UK and can be configured around the requirements of individual manufacturing applications. Rather than asking customers to select from a long catalogue of models, our engineering team can consider the material, tooling, required process, working area and production requirements before recommending an appropriate high tonnage press solution.
What Is a High Tonnage Hydraulic Press?
A high tonnage hydraulic press is designed to generate substantial controlled force across a working area. This allows manufacturers to carry out processes that require greater pressure than would typically be available from smaller or more general-purpose production machinery.
The hydraulic system allows force to be applied progressively and consistently, while the robust construction of the press provides the stability required during demanding manufacturing operations.
High tonnage presses can be configured for different processes, making them suitable for applications ranging from heavy-duty die cutting through to embossing, plating and other specialist pressing operations.
High Tonnage Cutting Presses
For demanding die cutting applications, increased pressing force allows larger cutting dies, more resistant materials or multiple layers to be processed efficiently. The exact requirement depends upon the material, tooling and component being produced.
A correctly specified high tonnage cutting press provides consistent force across the cutting area, helping manufacturers achieve accurate and repeatable results throughout production.
These machines can be particularly valuable where conventional cutting presses no longer provide the working area, force or production capability required by the application.
Plating Presses
Plating presses are used in manufacturing processes where controlled pressure needs to be applied evenly across a material, component or assembly. The exact operation can vary significantly between industries, with tooling and machine configuration adapted around the required process.
For industrial production, the ability to reproduce the same pressing conditions consistently can be particularly important. A purpose-designed hydraulic press provides the control and repeatability required to maintain consistent results across successive production cycles.
Embossing Presses
Embossing uses pressure and specialist tooling to create a raised, recessed or textured pattern within the surface of a material. This may be decorative, such as a texture or design, or form part of a functional manufacturing process.
High tonnage embossing presses provide the substantial and controlled pressure required for larger, more demanding or specialist applications. Correctly specified machinery helps ensure the pattern or finish is transferred consistently across the required working area.
Why Choose a High Tonnage Taurus Press?
High tonnage applications require more than simply increasing hydraulic force. The press structure, working area, tooling, controls and safety systems all need to work together as part of a machine designed around the manufacturing operation.
Taurus machinery can be configured around these requirements, allowing Cutting Systems UK to develop a press solution based on the application rather than forcing the customer to adapt their production process around a standard machine.
- Substantial controlled hydraulic pressing force.
- Suitable for demanding cutting, plating and embossing applications.
- Robust construction for industrial production.
- Accurate and repeatable pressing cycles.
- Configurations available for different working areas and applications.
- UK assembly and engineering support.
What Materials Can Be Processed?
The materials suitable for a Taurus high tonnage press depend on the operation being performed. Cutting applications can involve materials such as rubber, foams, composites, technical textiles, plastics, gasket materials and other industrial products, while plating and embossing applications may require very different material and tooling combinations.
Material thickness and density are only part of the equation. Component dimensions, die or tooling design, required working area and the desired finished result all influence the specification of the press.
UK-Assembled Taurus High Tonnage Presses
Taurus presses are assembled by Cutting Systems UK at our production facility in Rushden, Northamptonshire. Machines incorporate selected European control, hydraulic and pneumatic components together with UK-manufactured guarding that can be adapted around individual installations.
UK assembly allows our engineers to consider different machine specifications and configurations according to the customer’s requirements. This is particularly valuable for high tonnage applications, where the machinery often needs to be closely matched to specialist tooling, materials and production processes.
Customers can also have the opportunity to see their machinery during assembly and testing before installation at their production facility.
Specifying the Right High Tonnage Press
Choosing machinery for a high tonnage application should begin with the process rather than a predetermined machine specification. Required pressing force, working area, material characteristics, tooling, production volumes and operator workflow all need to be considered together.
Our engineering team can work with you to understand what the press needs to achieve before recommending an appropriate Taurus configuration. This helps ensure that the machinery is specified around the real manufacturing requirement rather than simply selecting a press based on its headline tonnage.
