PRESSES

Description

B30 covers mechanical and hydraulic presses used for compressing, shaping, or forming materials through applied pressure. This class encompasses a wide range of press types including mechanical presses with various actuation systems (screw, cam, lever-driven), hydraulic presses, and toggle mechanisms. Typical applications include metalworking, plastic molding, powder compaction, and lamination processes. Related auxiliary systems such as press controls, safety devices, and material handling mechanisms integrated with presses are included within this classification.
