Full-Scale Machine

Sutherland HCP Series

Before we started working on our prototype, we found a typical heading machine used in the industry. This machine gave us a lot of insight into our own design-constraints and neccessary considerations.

The Sutherland HCP-330-FLST is a single point, crankshaft driven press for hot heading, offering up to 315 metric tons of force to meet forming needs. Notable technical specifications include:

  • 250mm stroke length
  • 500mm die height
  • 315 metric ton capacity
  • 40hp motor
  • 34,000 kg machine weight
  • Welded and stress relieved steel frame
  • 1680mm x 2700mm machine footprint
