Question 1

What machines does Hindustan Hydraulics manufacture?

Accepted Answer

Hindustan Hydraulics manufactures CNC press brakes (Swift, Falcon, Hawk Turbo, Griffon, Albatross, Peregrine series), NC hydraulic shearing machines (Harrier series), and CNC fiber laser cutting machines (Solis series) at its plant in Jalandhar, Punjab, India.

Question 2

Where is Hindustan Hydraulics located?

Accepted Answer

Hindustan Hydraulics is located at G.T. Road, Suranussi, Jalandhar, Punjab 144027, India. The company manufactures and exports sheet metal machinery to customers across India and international markets.

Question 3

What is a CNC press brake?

Accepted Answer

A CNC press brake is an industrial machine tool designed to bend sheet metal and structural plate using controlled hydraulic or electric servo force. It uses computer numerical control (CNC) to automate ram positioning, backgauge depth, and bed crowning — achieving consistent bend angles and dimensional accuracy across complex multi-bend profiles.

Question 4

What is a hydraulic shearing machine?

Accepted Answer

A hydraulic shearing machine is an industrial cutting machine that uses a hydraulically driven upper blade to shear sheet metal against a fixed lower blade. The Harrier NC series from Hindustan Hydraulics uses a true guillotine vertical blade motion for superior edge squareness and distortion-free cutting of mild steel up to 16 mm and stainless steel up to 11 mm.

Question 5

What is a CNC fiber laser cutting machine?

Accepted Answer

A CNC fiber laser cutting machine uses a solid-state fiber laser beam to thermally cut sheet metal along programmed contours with high speed and precision. The Solis series from Hindustan Hydraulics features EtherCAT digital motion control, a dual shuttle pallet exchange system, and processes mild steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper, and brass.

Question 6

What industries use Hindustan Hydraulics machines?

Accepted Answer

Hindustan Hydraulics machines are used across electrical switchgear and panel manufacturing, pre-engineered buildings (PEB), agricultural machinery, commercial vehicles and tipper bodies, railway wagon fabrication, earthmoving equipment, steel service centres, and precision sheet metal job shops across India.

Question 7

What is the difference between hydraulic and electric CNC press brakes?

Accepted Answer

Hydraulic CNC press brakes use electro-hydraulic proportional systems to drive the ram — suitable for higher tonnage ranges and robust production environments. Electric CNC press brakes (such as the Albatross from Hindustan Hydraulics) use servo motors driving ball screws, eliminating hydraulic oil entirely and achieving higher positioning accuracy (±0.005 mm) with up to 50% energy savings and quieter operation.
