Hydraulic Presses for the Energy Industry
The energy industry covers possibly the broadest range of manufacturing needs, from carefully handling fragile materials to forming the most durable alloys with a single pass. At Beckwood we’ve seen it all from natural gas to nuclear power, and we’ve conquered every forming challenge that the energy industry has thrown at us to date. Here are just a few of the ways we provide forming solutions for your most pressing manufacturing issues in the power sector:
Hydraulic Presses for
Battery Manufacturers
Hydraulic presses are indispensable in the manufacturing of industrial-grade batteries, EV batteries, and power storage systems. Beckwood makes solid state battery manufacturing easy with a range of tonnages and automation capabilities. Our hydraulic presses can be used for compacting electrode materials, stacking layers, and assembling cells with precision. Hydraulic presses play a vital role in module and pack assembly by compressing cells and sealing them securely. They are also utilized in testing procedures to evaluate mechanical and electrical performance, contributing to the production of high-quality energy storage solutions.
Hydraulic Presses for Solar Panel Forming
When a leading automation system supplier came to us seeking a machine to improve their solar panel production, we were happy to deliver. We engineered a150-ton, 4-post punching press that was tailored to their forming needs with a suite of additional features. Bolt-on safety guards were added for personnel safety, while vibration dampening pads protected the system and materials from excess mechanical energy. Our signature Active Leveling Control feature was added to guarantee bed to ram parallelism no matter the load of the press. These features and more can be leveraged to manufacture both stationary and portable solar panels for businesses and residences of all shapes and sizes.
Servo-Electric Presses
for Nuclear Manufacturing
Manufacturing solutions for the nuclear industry calls for the highest level of precision to ensure safe material handling. One nuclear energy company required a press solution that mitigated risk at every opportunity and guaranteed reliable performance to help them efficiently deliver clean energy. We equipped them with multiple EVOx™ low-tonnage linear servo electric presses to compress material in nuclear reactors safely and consistently. With unmatched precision forming capabilities and no hydraulic fluid, our EVOx™ presses were a perfect match for their needs.
