A hydraulic press is a machine using a hydraulic cylinder to generate a compressive force. The hydraulic press works on Pascal’s principle, which states that the pressure throughout a closed system is constant. Hydraulic presses are commonly used for forging, clinching, moulding, blanking, punching, deep drawings and metal forming operations.200-ton capacity hydraulic frame and cylinder are modelled using Solidworks and analysed by solidworks simulation using finite element analysis. The objective of the project is to optimize the total mass and cost of hydraulic press while assuring adequate stiffness by using honeycomb structure on ram. Honey comb structures allows the minimization of material used to reach minimal weight and minimal material cost by providing high strength without compromising the output quality.
