Abstract

Hydraulic press machine is used in many manufacturing companies for different purpose. Hydraulic power units are main driving components of driving system, consist mainly a motor, reservoir and a hydraulic pump. The hydraulic press is actuated by various methods like hand lever operation, solenoid operation, push button operation etc. In this paper, we have study the automation of hydraulic press, comparison between hand lever operated hydraulic press and solenoid operated hydraulic press. Study suggests how drawbacks of hand lever operated press machine are overcome by using solenoid operated press machine. Time study is used to measure the time required for doing same operation by these two different press machines. Finally the improvement in productivity by reducing the time for operation has been studied and analyzed. Time reduction of operation is achieved by automation of hydraulic press.
