100 Ton Semi-Automatic Hydraulic Forming Parts Assembly Press.  Rio Grande Albuquerque Model Formatic 100.

Small parts are placed in the cup-like area of the parts slider on the left side of the image above.  The slider is then moved to the right and the green button pushed to press and form the part.  In the mean time, the finished part on the right side of the parts carriage slider was moved out of the press area and over an ejection pin and ejected from the forming cup.  New parts are then put in the cup on the right side, the carriage slide to the right, and the process repeated.

   

The image above shows the control panel and status lights. There are also interlock switches on some of the access panels.

The eject pin comes up in the middle of the parts forming cup shown below.  The pin is driven by a cam on a shaft driven by a geared electric motor. There are a variety of switches/sensors associated with the tooling.

The Black area contains the 5" diameter piston that has about 1.25 inches of travel in its current configuration. There are sensors for cylinder up, cylinder down, pressure and temperature

As shown in the image above, the unit can be set to automatically drive to a preset pressure.  There appears to be 3 settings for how fast the unit operates but I don't know how this works.

 

You are bidding on your choice of one of two units.  Either the one shown above that is complete with some specific unknown part tooling or one that is identical and operational but has had part tooling, including the deck, removed.

 

This unit includes a hydraulic reservoir, the filler cap for which is shown at the bottom left of the image above, a 10,000 psi electric motor driven pump, a fan cooled radiator and a 2-way electric solenoid valve.

 

 

The image above shows the dual action solenoid valve.  

The image below shows the control electronics board.

 

This is a production machine intended for continuous operation. It has a variety of sensors for position, pressure and temperature.  It has a microprocessor type controller to monitor for error conditions and provide alarms as needed.

 Condition looks very good functional used. Powers up and runs piston up and down. Condition details depend on which unit you choose.  We are in the Desert Southwest so items may need dusting/cleaning when they arrive.  

This is a used/surplus item, selling at a fraction of its original price/cost and has no warranty. While the item will be as described before we send it, there is always a chance that something will happen in shipping. If you need service like a new item, go buy a new one. Alternatively, a limited warranty can be purchased at extra cost on some items (ask).

Listing description is correct to the best of our knowledge at the time of listing but we are subject to making human errors. The seller's liability, in the event of a listing error, is limited to the amount of the winning bid paid and does not include any responsibility for lost time, opportunity, inconvenience, etc. on the part of the buyer.

By bidding on this item, the bidder/buyer agrees to assume all responsibility and risk with regard to the appropriateness and legal use of the item and that the seller is free of all liability regarding the use, disposition, condition, legality and appropriateness of this item.

Winning bidder pays packing and shipping costs in addition to bid amount unless picked up at source (zip 87124). (Note that packing & shipping charges are based on weight, size and fragility and have nothing to do with the bid price. Something with a bid price that is almost free could be big, heavy and fragile with commensurately significant P&S charges.) Very small items of only a few ounces generally go first class mail with no insurance and no tracking. Items of only a couple pounds usually go priority mail with no insurance and no tracking. FedEx ground is currently our shipper of choice for most items more than a couple pounds. (that have a packed weight less than 150 pounds and are small enough to meet FedEx Ground package size restrictions.) FedEx ground automatically includes $100 insurance and tracking. If you want to pay for extra insurance, be sure to clearly communicate how much.

Please send your shipping address (including zip code) and delivery contact phone number as soon as you are notified that you are the winning bidder so we can get back to you with the packing and shipping cost. Please note if yours is a business or residential address (Businesses located in a home are residential for shipping purposes.)

Items that weigh more than 150 pounds or are bigger than 130" length plus girth must ship by motor freight carrier, preferably freight collect. Please note that used items shipped by truck are only insured at 10 cents per pound. Extra insurance can be purchased through a third party insurer if explicitly requested and paid for. Also note that it may take several days for these larger items to get packed and picked up by a truck.

Payment via Billpoint or Paypal is strongly recommended as it cuts about a week off delivery delay (waiting for a check by mail). BidPay works too but takes a few more days for the money to get to me. However, method of payment is ultimately the buyers choice. If payment is by business or personal check, you will have an additional 2 weeks wait time for our bank to confirm your check cleared before the item is released. If payment is not received within 10 days of notification of total amount due, transaction is subject to being listed as failed for non-payment and the item being sold to another buyer.

Pay by credit card through the PayPal.com service and get this item shipped to you immediately. Make payments with PayPal - it's 
fast, free and secure!

Please feel free to ask questions. However, make sure you include the item description so we know what you are interested in and we can't calculate shipping cost unless you give us your zip code. Note that if you wait to the last day, I may not be able to get back to you before the auction closes. I almost never watch any of my auctions close.
