The MH-19 power hammer is a 220 volt single phase machine has the ability to transform itself from a rigid style like a Pullmax® style machine, to a spring slapping style like a Yoder® style machine, or even a very heavy duty English wheel.
When operating in the rigid mode, there is no "give" between the die heads. Used for short stroke shaping, flanging. Tooling designs and profiles are endless, but some of the options are mechanical shrinking, stretching dies, flanging dies, and louvers. The spring setup with "Throw the die" causing a dead blow hammering effect. When in this mode the total amount of pressure applied when the dies hit the metal is increase exponentially. This mode would be used for aggressive shrinking and planishing, many different tooling profiles can be used. |
