French Introduces a New VISION in Molding French introduces a new VISION in compact molding systems: VISION™ Series Modular Self-Contained Hydraulic Presses. They combine the press, power unit and controls in a compact, modular package. Available in 30 to 150 ton models, they are suited to a wide range of applications and materials.
French built its reputation by manufacturing rugged, low-deflection production presses. That engineering vision has been applied to the VISION Series hydraulic presses, creating a small machine with the features and durability of larger presses.
These precision presses represent an ideal choice for either laboratory/development work or the rigors of regular production. VISION Series hydraulic presses deliver optimal performance in a diverse array of applications, including R&D work, testing, short runs, limited production, cell manufacturing and lean manufacturing. |

The column-style hydraulic presses feature a double-acting hydraulic cylinder and
adjustable daylight. Clamp force, opening speed, closing speed and pressing
speed are manually adjustable. The VISION Series offers 30, 50, 75, 100 and 150
ton models, with standard platen sizes ranging from 15" x 15" to 30" x 30".
Other platen sizes and custom hydraulic press designs can also be supplied for special
applications.
A list of production-oriented standard features insures consistent, repeatable
results in even the most demanding applications. These include: Tie bar Supernut™
tensioners, electrically heated platens, piston pump power unit, and Allen-Bradley
PLC controls.
Supernut tensioners – a feature not typically found on comparable presses –
simplify daylight adjustments because no special tools are required to loosen or
tighten them. They are easily torqued to the correct specifications, insuring
reliable, accurate performance.
The use of a piston pump hydraulic power unit offers greater durability and
increased efficiency. Power units feature high-quality Rexroth components as
standard equipment. User-friendly Allen-Bradley controls are utilized throughout
the VISION Series.
Options such as water cooled platens, proportional control, platen T-slots,
and automation systems allow users to custom-tailor VISION Series hydraulic presses to
suit their molding requirements. Contact a French sales representative for a
complete list of standard and optional equipment.
The compact size of VISION Series hydraulic presses allows easy installation and
relocation, and provides maximum layout flexibility. In lean manufacturing
settings, VISION Series presses can easily be redirected to accommodate changes
in production requirements. Built-in lift tubes facilitate placement and relocation.
Optional leveling pads are also available.
As Your Partner in Processing, French designed the
VISION Series to meet the
changing needs of manufacturers operating in a global economy. These high-quality
hydraulic presses deliver the Vision to Mold the 21st Century.
