Parallelism and perpendicularty in press machine

Question

Accepted Answer

Parallelism and perpendicularity are crucial in press machines for accurate and consistent production.

Parallelism ensures that the ram and bed of the press machine move in a straight line, preventing any deviation in the production process.
Perpendicularity ensures that the ram and bed of the press machine move at a right angle to each other, preventing any twisting or bending of the material being pressed.
Any deviation from parallelism or perpendicularity can result in defective products and increased maintenance costs.
Regular checks and adjustments should be made to ensure that the press machine maintains its parallelism and perpendicularity.
Examples of press machines that require parallelism and perpendicularity include stamping presses, forging presses, and hydraulic presses.
