Bending Machinery Hot Forging Line Product Overview The Rhodes KJX range of Horizontal Impact Extrusion Presses are designed for the production of non-ferrous (recyclable) tubes and cans such as Battery cases, Toothpaste tubes, Cosmetics, Machine Pharmaceutical Tubes and Aerosol Cans. Press capacity ranges from 5 to 1000 tonnes, to enable the correct machine to be selected for each application. Group Rhodes manufacture a range of KJX presses designed to eliminate the out-of-balance forces, or convert them from the horizontal to the vertical plane, in order to ensure smooth running at high speeds. This is achieved with a radical new linkage design and dual balancing system, which reduces stress and shock loads within the press. Furthermore, to ensure smooth running and minimum vibration, the crankshaft and knuckle linkage have been dynamically balanced using the latest Computer Aided Design technology and now operate within a rigid, fully-stress relieved, one piece steel fabricated frame. To meet new production demands, non-ferrous calots are automatically orientated before being fed down the chute in front of the tool to be backward extruded. After extrusion, the can or tube is stripped from the punch onto a continuous conveyor, which in turn supplies the complimentary machinery developed to run at the new high speed. Additional features include: An AC variable drive motor to ensure the automatic speed changes are performed quickly and safely. An Ergonomically redesigned toolspace area with improved accessibility. Precision engineered double helical gears rotating in a sealed oil bath. A Can Take-Off System, which is independently adjustable for timing, and protected by an overload clutch. The highly successful 'Ortlinghaus' combined pneumatic friction clutch and brake unit. A fully automatic 'full flow' recirculating oil lubrication system using internally machined oilways, thereby reducing the need for vulnerable flexible pipework. Optional extras include CNC or PLC Technology Motorised slide adjustment Bowl feeders Feed system Hopper elevators Ejectors and Compensators Soundproof Enclosures Specifications Model NoStroke (mm)A KJX 25 254 25 KJX 35 300 30 KJX 35S 300 30 KJX 50 330 35 KJX 50S 314 35 KJX 50L 381 35 KJX 63 381 38 KJX 63S 280 38 KJX63L 457 38 KJX 75 457 40 KJX 90 520 45 KJX 120 585 50 Example Press model No. KJX 50 40 mm Diameter collapsable tube Total die depth - 28 mm Maximum overall extruded length . = 330 - (28 + 35 + 40) . = 330 - 103 . = 227 KJX RANGEZINCALUMINIUM Model Ref: (note 1)KJXKJXKJXKJXKJXKJXKJXKJX 24328253535S5050L Pressure Capacity (Tons) 60 120 5 60 100 100 160 160 Rating from B.D.C (mm) (note 2) 5 7 4.5 4.5 4.5 9.7 4.5 4.5 Stroke (mm) 130 172 102 254 300 300 330 381 Speed (spm) 150/180 150/280 150 80/170 100/200 100/200 80/150 60/120 Maximum Ø with 0.12mm Wall (A1.) \ \ 8 25 35 \ 50 50 Maximum Ø with 0.30mm Wall (A1.) \ \ 10 30 42 40 56 56 Maximum Ø with 0.30mm Wall (Zinc.) 24 mm 32 mm \ \ \ \ \ \ Drive Motor (kW) 18.75 3.7 1.1 10 17.5 30 40 40 Press Weight (Kg) 5,800 10,000 1,000 6,000 9,500 10,200 9,500 10,000 OVERALL SIZES (MM) (note 3) Length 2100 2770 1375 2870 3340 3350 3470 3760 Width 1380 1730 610 1310 1980 2000 2310 2310 Height 1300 1650 690 1520 1550 1550 1750 1780 KJX RANGEALUMINIUM Model Ref: (note 1)KJXKJXKJXKJXKJXKJXKJX 50S6363L63S7590120 Pressure Capacity (Tons) 200 325 325 325 400 650 1000 Rating from B.D.C (mm) (note 2) 7 4.5 4.5 8 10 25 35 Stroke (mm) 314 381 457 280 457 520 585 Speed (spm) 80/170 60/120 40/80 80/170 40/80 25/50 30 Maximum Ø with 0.12mm Wall (A1.) 50 63 63 60 75 90 110 Maximum Ø with 0.30mm Wall (A1.) 55 73 73 70 87 100 130 Maximum Ø with 0.30mm Wall (Zinc.) \ \ \ \ \ \ \ Drive Motor (kW) 48 65 65 80 70 80 120 Press Weight (Kg) 12,400 19,000 21,000 23,000 40,000 68,000 85,000 OVERALL SIZES (MM) (note 3) Length 3650 4200 4650 4000 5100 5950 6550 Width 2090 2170 2170 2610 3050 3500 3950 Height 1830 1920 1920 2170 2400 2850 2960 Notes: 1 This specification table is provided as a guide only.
