STANDARD H4H-500 Hydraulic Hot Press - 500 ton

Precision. Built Around You.

A production-grade 500-ton, 4-post hot press with a modern touch-screen controller and servo-hydraulic power for closed-loop force, distance, and time control. Designed for demanding hot-pressing and thermoforming workflows where repeatability, safety, and uptime matter.

Technical Snapshot (series-wide)

• • Tonnage: 500 tons (all models)
  • Frame: 4-post, precision-machined columns and platens
  • Heating: 0–300 °C standard; higher temperature optional
  • Hydraulics: Integrated, low-noise servo-hydraulic system
  • Controls: Touch-screen HMI with programmable pressure/position/time and live feedback

Key Outcomes (Why choose this press)

• • True process control: Closed-loop servo-hydraulics with programmable pressure, position, and dwell—with live feedback on the HMI.
  • Thermal consistency: 0–300 °C standard with ±1 °C control and dual-sided heating (ram/top and table/bottom) for uniform part heating.
  • High-precision motion: Cylinder travel positioning repeatability to 0.01 mm for kiss-off and stack-height critical parts.
  • Productivity with peace of mind: Two-hand (S-switch) anti-tie-down start and OSHA-compliant guarding.
  • Low noise, compact footprint: Integrated hydraulic power unit reduces line runs and acoustic exposure.
  • Operator-friendly: Ergonomic working height, recipe selection, clear status indicators
