HPC C-Frame Hydraulic Press
The HPC C-frame hydraulic press from EBR METAL is a gap frame hydraulic press with an open front. The operator works straight into the die area, with pressure and stroke set on a PLC touchscreen. Typical jobs are forming, assembly and press-fit work.
Six standard models cover 40 to 200 tonnes with throat depths from 250 to 375 mm. Every press is configured to the customer’s work, and larger sizes are built on request.

• Capacity 40–200 t • Throat depth 250–375 mm • Stroke 500–800 mm • PLC touchscreen

HPC Design
The C-frame is welded steel construction with a single main cylinder above the table. The open front leaves the die area free for loading and die changes, and the throat depth grows with capacity from 250 to 375 mm.
Working pressure is set to the job and the stroke adjusts without steps. Welding is certified, and precision parts are robot-welded.

Choosing the HPC C-Frame Hydraulic Press
The HPC fits forming and pressing work where the operator needs free access to the die from the front. Choose the model by force, throat depth and table size. For deep drawing, see the HPS 4-column press or the HPHS H-frame press.
Typical industries: automotive parts, white goods, kitchen equipment and electrical components.

Frequently Asked Questions About HPC
What is the advantage of a C-frame hydraulic press?
The open front gives direct access to the die for loading parts and changing dies. The throat depth on the HPC runs from 250 to 375 mm.
Can the HPC be built double-action or with fast approach?
Yes, both are built to order: a double-action version with a die cushion, and a fast-approach circuit.
Are larger HPC presses available?
The standard models run from 40 to 200 tonnes. Larger sizes, tables and strokes are built on request.
Is a light curtain standard?
No. Two-hand control is standard, and the light curtain is an option. Available in a CE-conform configuration for CE markets.
