How many cycles are performed per shift? Does the part need to be pressed at several positions? What travel does the ram require? How is the part held and removed?.. Read More
Most press comparisons begin with tonnage. The position at which that force can be applied is just as important when parts vary in size or several operations are required across.. Read More
A hydraulic press does not work alone. The fixture beneath the part, the contact surface on the ram and the way the load passes through the component all affect whether.. Read More
Both machines apply substantial force, but the direction of that force changes the way a part is loaded and supported. If you are deciding between a vertical H-frame press and.. Read More
Selmach's Meyer pillar drill range includes belt-driven SL and geared-head SR machines. The aim is not to buy the largest specification on the page; it is to choose the machine.. Read More
The hole may be simple; holding the workpiece is often the difficult part. A long section can overhang the table, a welded bracket can sit unevenly and a large plate.. Read More
If your team drills a handful of holes a week, powered feed may not change much. If an operator repeats the same hole through batches of parts, the way the.. Read More
Both belt-driven and geared-head pillar drills can produce accurate holes when the machine, tooling and setup suit the work. The useful question is how often your team will change materials.. Read More
It is easy to compare pillar drills by the largest hole printed on the specification sheet. That figure matters, but it does not tell you whether the hole can be.. Read More
A pillar drill might be one of the most familiar machines in the workshop, but choosing one for daily production takes more than matching a motor size to a budget... Read More
Modern fabrication machinery is remarkably capable; CNC lasers, press brakes, bandsaws and drilling equipment routinely achieve tolerances that would have been considered laboratory-grade engineering a generation ago. Yet in workshops.. Read More
Each machine in our range is designed with a specific type of fabricator in mind. Whether you need compact precision, versatile profile cutting, high-speed production, heavy-duty capability or a flexible.. Read More
