Model 3696-10FC

Overview

Model 3696-10FC is a 36" X 96" (914mm X 2438mm) sheet hydroforming press. The chamber pressure is 10,000 psi (689 bar). Tray depth is 8". Programmable controls use Allen Bradley CompactLogix and the interface is a 10" Color Touchscreen. A dual shuttle system ensures continuous production to increase throughput. The 3696-10FC is described as ideal for large aerospace components such as structural ribs and wing stringers. It is also described as suitable for long medical parts such as orthopedic devices. Depending on the size of parts, multiple parts can be formed in a single cycle, the press can form thick, high-strength alloys, and the dual shuttle system supports continuous production to increase throughput.
