Universal horizontal presses APOLLO’S universal horizontal presses are hydraulic machines controlled by a gearbox supplying pressure to a cylinder. ‘Universal’ refers to the ability to simply change the tools in order to bend, punch or shear any shape of material. and allows the press to make full use of the hydraulic strength emitted. A driven-pump self-lubricating system, protecting slides from dust and slags with gaskets, makes the machine more reliable and prevents the need for frequent services.

Four different models are available – 17, 32, 40 and 62 tons – with the option to be equipped with CNC systems and programmable, motor-driven side stops. the self-lubricating cylinder is located on the same axes as the working arm,

The strong bases of the universal presses are heat-stabilised to prevent strain over time and subsequent clearances in the slide unit. The equipment can be changed by

processes, and they may be connected to an automatic NC layer-on for mass punching and shearing operations, after entering the related programming data on the keyboard. Apollo recently engineered and manufactured a series of tools for processing copper bars, as they are widely requested for their multiple uses in production and manufacturing of electric panels and photovoltaic systems.

using three helical hooking pins, allowing the operator to act quickly while keeping the machine running. According to the type of tool used, the length of the stroke of the working slide may be changed and idle running times may be cancelled. The presses can be adapted to be used in automated
