Hello everyone!
I want to ask the old guys in here if they know what are these components on the photos no 2 & 3?
These things are part of the electrical system of an old hydraulic "clicker" press. It's used to cut leather,paper etc. The machine is probably from the 70's and there is no tag on it so i don't know any infos!
It's working ok but i am thinking to either change the 3 phase electric motor with a new single phase motor or make this one single phase! My problems are these 2 components! I don't know how they will be affected from this change! The machine have 2 handles with one button each. To make the head move downwards you must press both buttons (i guess as a security measure so that you always have both hands safe). The buttons are connected with this component. I know there is a big electromagnet in the head (next to the buttons) that moves a lever that actuates the downwards move of the head.
I already asked the company but they don't have any pdf for this machine anymore!
