Hammerhead Hydraulic "Beam-Style" Traveling Head Press
HYDROSHIFT SERIES
The HydroShift Series caters to industrial applications needing high tonnage and durability. Featuring a "beam-style" body, these Traveling Heads can be built up to 250 tons, surpassing industry norms. This series includes PLC-based automation to maintain high production capabilities while only requiring a few parameter inputs from the operator on a user-friendly HMI Touch Screen. This body style is also preferred for heated platen options by keeping the heated source further away from the hydraulic cylinders.
