The Oilgear Towler Company continues to maintain an unparalleled leadership role of providing makers and users of forging equipment with innovative power and control systems for the simplest to the most demanding of applications.
Since pioneering hydraulic press drives in the twenties, the Oilgear Company and the later acquired Towler Company have gained a wealth of successful hydraulic and electronic control expertise servicing the diversified needs of a variety of press builders and users throughout the world.
Today, by integrating state-of-the-art system control with either Oilgear time-proven variable displacement pumps or Towler high pressure fixed displacement pumps, open and closed die press operators enjoy increased productivity, reduced downtime and energy efficient plant operation.
The Oilgear Towler Company’s partnership with the forging industry continues into the Twenty-first century with an enduring commitment of providing the latest advancements in forging power and control system technologies. We invite you to be a participant in this partnership.
The following features are found in new and retrofit forging systems supplied by Oilgear.
Oilgear's hydraulic forging systems feature fixed displacement and variable displacement pumps, and specially developed, large capacity sinusoidal servo controlled "Fast Forge" valve assembly.
Oilgear offers the preferred fast forging systems, a press top mounted fast forge valve manifold with atmospheric prefilling tank. This design offers optimum performance due to the minimal oil volume required to be compressed and decompressed each stroke.
Oilgear offers an option to mount the fast forge valve system at floor level, or sub-floor level in combination with an air loaded prefilling tank. This system is mainly used for pull-down (inverted presses), although it can also be used for push-down presses.
Forging systems are one of Oilgear’s specialties. We’ve been working on the biggest presses in the world for decades. Our experience and expertise will provide you with the best equipment possible.
More than 500 combined years of engineering expertise makes Oilgear always ready to be at your side. Oilgear has accumulated experience in so many different applications that we can cover all your needs.
In order for an extrusion company to maintain or gain a competitive position in the market, productivity and quality need to be improved continuously. An essential part of Oilgear Towler is, and has been for decades, the modernization of extrusion press lines.
