Overview
Built around your product
The YA2500 hydraulic press completes the steel-edged panel: it applies stable, uniform force to join preformed steel edges with prepared plywood, producing flat, rigid panels with consistent dimensions. Magnetic dies slide out for fast removal and changeover. The YA series covers three working widths — YA1600 (1.6 m, 30 tons), YA2500 (2.5 m, 30 tons) and YA3200 (3.2 m, 60 tons) — so the press matches the box size instead of forcing one frame to do everything.
KEY ADVANTAGES
Uniform pressure ensures tight, repeatable assembly
Magnetic quick-change dies slide out for fast changeovers
Light curtains, emergency stops and overload protection
Three working widths (1.6 / 2.5 / 3.2 m) match the press to the box size
APPLICATIONS
Steel-edged plywood box panels
Large export packaging cases
Heavy-duty machinery crates
Custom oversized box production

WORKFLOW
Standard operating sequence
Position
Mechanical stops align components and control assembly gaps.
Press
The platen descends evenly and applies the specified pressure.
Hold & reset
After a short hold, the platen returns automatically, ready for the next panel.
OPERATION GUIDE
How to operate
Check before starting
Check the hydraulic oil level, lines and joints for leaks, dies and press plates for cracks, and the e-stop and wiring. Jog the cylinder up and down empty to confirm smooth travel.
Set pressure and stroke
Set the pressure valve to the value for the strip and panel thickness, and adjust the travel limit so the ram cannot over-press the strip or panel.
Place the workpiece
Lay the steel edge or panel to be pressed flat and centered on the die, aligned and stable.
Press and hold
Step on the foot switch (or press both start buttons): the ram descends slowly and presses the strip into shape. Hold pressure 1–3 seconds, then release — the ram returns automatically.
Cycle through the batch
Remove the finished piece, place the next workpiece, and repeat. Never overload the press or exceed the rated stroke.
Shut down and clean
Return the ram to its top position, switch off the motor and main power. Clean iron filings and oil from the table and wipe the machine down.
Safety: keep hands, arms and head out of the ram zone during pressing. Stop immediately on oil leaks, unusual noise, low pressure or electrical faults — never run a faulty machine.
