 Oilgear
has specialized in Extrusion press technology since 1928 and
is dedicated to the Extrusion market. Our energies are focused
on developing long term relationships with OEM’s and Extruders.
We have developed solutions driven by customer feedback with features
and proven reliability derived from hundreds of
press installations worldwide. Today, industry economics demand
maximum reliability and minimal dead cycle time with the focus
on increased productivity and quality.
Below you will see our commitment to relationship building and
the investment made in modern Hydraulic and Control solutions
for the Global Extrusion Market. |

Manifolds
Oilgear uses compact, state of the art,
integrated manifolds. This enables minimal piping for large
flow capacity systems.
Designed with smooth shifting, high response, slip-in cartridges,
these manifolds result in shock-free switching with reduced
dead cycle time, reduced system shock and reduced system leakage
- all keyed to saving your investment dollars.

System Installation Alternatives
Reservoirs in our systems are designed
around your installation requirements. The pumps can be mounted
on top of the main reservoir, skid mounted under or beside
the main reservoir or they can be mounted vertically in-tank.
A complete system design includes system heating plus cooling
and filtration requirements to increase the life of your system
and to reduce maintenance of the installation. All reservoirs
are designed to provide exceptionally quiet operation and
accessibility for service. Top and bottom baffle construction
reduces turbulence and settles out dirt and air.
Standard reservoirs are sized from 1,000 gallons(3,800 liters)
to 6,600 gallons(25,000 liters) rated capacity. Special reservoirs
of any size are available.

Control Systems
Oilgear
has the in-depth knowledge and is the recognized leader of quality
press hydraulics. We thoroughly understand the equipment and
the controls necessary for the extrusion industry.
In 1954, we began to incorporate servo-hydraulics to control
our systems and now stand alone as the only hydraulics manufacturer
that designs and produces electro-hydraulic systems in our own
facilities.
In recent years, more and more presses and peripheral equipment
have been automated with the use of PLC's coupled with P.C.'s.
This integrated network allows plants to control all phases
of the extrusion operation, providing effective management of
the entire facility.
If your extrusion operation has a relay logic system, a complete
electronic system, or a mix of technologies, we have the ability
to interface with it. |

| |
Basic Pump Control
We can convert an outdated manual, pneumatic,
hydraulic or electronic control to a modern EPC
or (Electronic Pump Controller) that will interface
with your relay logic system or a PLC, and allow
for all of the following: |
| |
 |
Unique
pump commands for each machine function. |
| |
|
Pressure
unloading to eliminate relief valve operation. |
| |
|
Electronic ramping to reduce
system shock. |
|
| |
Extrusion Press Controller
A more sophisticated system would consist
of a controller engineered specifically for extrusion
presses. It would contain the controller and the
following additional features: |
| |
|
Closed-loop
Constant Ram Speed Control (+/- 0.1% of maximum
ram extrusion speed) providing increased average
extrusion speed and decreased scrap. |
| |
|
Pressure
Unloading, which reduces relief valve operation,
reduces the energy wasted (heat in the system)
and minimizes the need to operate costly cooling
equipment. |
| |
|
Pressure
Rate Control, controls the rate of pressure
build-up and limits ram extrusion speed which
will decrease cycle time and increase die
life. This feature is ideal for die trials
and ceramic dies. |

Complete PLC Systems
A complete Programmable Logic Controlled
system allows you to control and monitor all phases
of the extrusion operation. Available features include: |
| |
|
Closed-loop
Constant Ram Speed Control (+/- 0.1% of maximum
ram extrusion speed) providing increased average
extrusion speed and decreased scrap. |
| |

Modem connection to Oilgear
for assistance in trouble-shooting, making
changes or making additions to logic. |

|
Automatic
Electronic Main Ram Limit Switching with position
checks. |
| |
|
Electronic Pressure Switching
for main ram. |
| |
|
Well organized program for
fully interlocked press operation and not
just a translation of relay logic. |
| |
|
Burp Cycle Control |
| |
|
Butt discard detection -
will disable container forward circuit if
interference is detected. |
| |
|
Meets or exceeds ANSI B11.17-1982. |
| |
|
Main ram interference detection;
ram forward circuit will be disabled in the
event of misalignments or interference. |
| |
|
Operator adjustable butt
length. |
| |
|
Interface with peripheral
equipment. |
| |
|
Billet flash protection. |
| |
|
All I/O's including spares
wired to terminals. |
| |
|
Minimum 15% spare I/O and
panel space for future expansion. |
| |
|
Enclosure fitted for air
conditioning. |
| |
|
All PLC outputs are individually
fused and have blown fuse indicator lights. |
| |
|
Unique pump commands for
each press function. |
|
Adding a modern man-machine interface
touch screen replaces the vast majority of pushbuttons
on your operator station.
It will display any variable that can exist in the
PLC. For example: ram velocity, position, oil temperature,
pressures, furnace zone temperature, dead cycle
time, etc...
The operator can change set-up parameters with a
touch of the screen. |
