Hi HF experts,

 

I am new to Hyperform and feel a bit difficult to understand the concepts - 'Single action' v.s 'Double' action in Hyperform.

Which cases should we use 'Single' and when should use 'Double'?

    Hi single action and double action denotes the type of press.

     

    • Single Action Presses. A single action press has one reciprocation slide that carries the tool for the metal forming operation. The press has a fixed bed. It is the most widely used press for operations like blanking, coining, embossing, and drawing.
    • Double Action Presses. A double action press has two slides moving in the same direction against a fixed bed. It is more suitable for drawing operations, especially deep drawing, than single action press.
