Hydraulic Press

Discrete-cycle hydraulic press with pneumatic clamping, force monitoring, and hydraulic oil health tracking. 50-100 ton assembly class.

Hydraulic press model illustration

What it is

A press-fit assembly hydraulic press with a deterministic 7-phase cycle: idle ⭢ clamping ⭢ approach ⭢ pressing ⭢ dwell ⭢ return ⭢ unclamp. It adds pneumatic workpiece clamping, ram force and position, and hydraulic oil condition. The model is based on 50-100 ton Beckwood and Greenerd assembly press specifications.

Used in

  • smart-factory: the third station (press-001) of the line

What it tracks

MemberDescription
press_phaseCurrent cycle phase, one of 7.
clamping_demand / clamp_activePneumatic clamping state. Interlocked with the air supply.
clamp_pressurePneumatic pressure on the workpiece.
ram_positionHead travel position in mm.
ram_speedRam velocity, which varies by phase.
press_forceApplied force during pressing and dwell.
system_pressureHydraulic system pressure.
oil_temperatureHydraulic oil thermal state.
oil_levelReservoir level.
good_count / scrap_count / actual_cycle_timeStation throughput and completed-cycle timing, added when the asset is a line station.
power_drawElectrical power, which varies by phase.

Fault modes

  • seal_leak: system pressure drops ×0.85 and oil temperature rises 8 °C. Production is derated to 0.85.
  • valve_stuck: ram speed and press force drop to zero for 600 s. Production stops.
  • overpressure: a 10 s spike in system pressure and power draw.
  • air_pressure_loss: clamp pressure below 3 bar while clamping; the station stops, and ram speed and force are inhibited for 60 s. It re-arms for as long as the air stays low.
  • pump_failure: end-of-life failure, only in the critical stage (rate 2.4/h, so it almost always fires within the stage's 2 operating hours). Ram speed and press force go to 0 and power draw falls to 10 %. Production stops. It has no duration: it stays down until ResetFault, Maintain or miravo inject --clear.

Shop air header pressure feeding the clamp regulator. The regulator holds clamp_pressure at 5.5 bar until the header sags below 7 bar, then clamp pressure follows it down (1.5 bar regulator drop). Bind it to a compressor header_pressure with inputs: { supply_air_pressure: { asset: <id>, member: header_pressure } }. The Litmus Edge demo templates do this, so a compressor valve_leak stops the press. smart-factory leaves it unbound.

Use cases

  • Assembly-line throughput with discrete cycles.
  • Cascade fault scenarios: compressed-air loss disables clamping and the press stops.
  • Hydraulic oil condition monitoring and predictive maintenance.
  • Force-signature analytics for press quality.
