What We Do: Automotive Solutions HARE is a leading brand and manufacturer of hydraulic and hydro-pneumatic presses from 1 ton to 400 tons force. For the last 40 years P.J. Hare Ltd has been providing a complete automotive press and tooling service from our base here in the United Kingdom (UK). Since hydraulic power can be precisely controlled and measured, Hare presses are frequently used for assembly operations in many areas, especially the automotive industry. Hare Automotive Tooling systems move current practice in self checking assembly tooling forward by using a pioneering approach to integrate leading edge measuring and sensing components with robust press tooling. The integration of automotive tooling with load monitoring guarantees that only finished products, which meet the design specification, can be released from the press. Many major automotive manufacturers and first tier suppliers benefit from the synergy generated by using Hare Automotive Presses and Tooling. We offer their business numerous advantages, including: • Zero defects • Load monitoring • In tool Poke Yoke devices and fixtures • Part presence sensing • Increased productivity • Reduced rejects

Tooling P.J. Hare Ltd provides a complete press and tooling service. Hare Tooling systems move current practice in self checking assembly tooling forward by using a pioneering approach to integrate leading edge measuring and sensing components with robust press tooling. The integration of tooling with load monitoring guarantees that only finished products which meet the design specification can be released from the press.

Load & Position Monitoring P. J. Hare can supply and integrate various in house or third party systems where monitoring of assembly forces and ram displacement are required. A Load and Position Monitoring equipment combination of leading edge control systems and well proven robust tool designs by Hare software and tooling engineers, provides for seamless integration of the maXYmos range of monitors. By performing monitoring earlier within the manufacturing chain, more rejects are avoided. Consistent quality assurance integrated into the processes ensures high product quality. Additionally faulty parts are sorted out extremely early and subsequent system components are supplied only with good parts. This helps to maximise production capacity and system utilization while minimising production costs.

Bench or Pedestal Mounted Hydraulic Press Model HP 6 or 8-ton The HP’s are quiet, user friendly and safe. There are 6 Models ranging in capacity from 12 to 80 tons. Standard specification includes light screen guards, mechanical shut height adjustment and blank (snap through) damping. • 5 standard operating modes • Press cycle can be initiated by the light screen guard • Mechanical dead stop arrangement with digital readout • Blank (snap through) damping • Robust frame design with excellent ram guidance • Hard chromed ram with high quality seal system • Mitsubishi PLC and HMI

SAFE, FAST, QUIET AND VERSATILE Designed for high speed production – up to 2,000 components per hour manually loaded. Available in two sizes 6 or 8 ton with integral light screen guard.

Mechanical press users are amazed at the productivity and versatility of a modern hydraulic press. Ram speeds are fast and operator access excellent. Production rates of up to 2000 components per hour are often achieved because maximum load is available at any point in the stroke, tool height is not critical. Toolsetting is usually completed in a matter of a few minutes. The long effective power stroke and the generous tooling area means better plant utilisation.

Press Models 12 – 80HP Floor Standing Hydraulic Presses 12-80ton Press Models 12 to 80HP (12, 16, 25, 40, 63 and 80ton) The HP Range – Designed to replace mechanical presses on most types of first and second operation press work, the HP’s can increase production rates by up to 300% and reduce toolsetting time to 5 minutes or less. 7

4-Column Presses Hare column presses can be configured with 2 or 4-columns depending on the application, and are available with either up or down-stroking rams. The modular design allows for the column spacing to be positioned to suit customer requirements. Optional guided platens give excellent tooling support and optimum load distribution over the entire platen with minimum deflection. • Press capacities from 10 to 400-tons • Column widths up to 2 meters • Up or down stroking

Bespoke Solutions As the leading manufacturer of hydraulic presses our ability to design and manufacture hydraulic presses which meet the specific requirements of our customers is a significant advantage. Whatever the application and whatever the size of the component, we can produce a press which is designed to provide the best solution for our customers. Increased daylight, longer stroke, wider guards or additional hydraulics or pneumatics can be easily incorporated, so whatever the application we can provide the correct press for your application. Our flexible company structure and well qualified members of staff enable us to design and build machines to meet the needs of our customers. We act as Project Managers providing a turnkey package, allowing you a single point of contact for your manufacturing project.

Composite, Rubber and Thermoplastic Hot Platen Presses P.J. Hare manufacture a range of heated platen presses for compression molding of rubber, plastics and composites; also for laminating, laboratory and R&D. Electrically or oil heated platens are uniquely designed for uniform heat distribution and fine temperature control. Compressed air or water cooling is also available. Enhanced programmable press controls for multiple ramp profiles, data logging of press load and position in addition to the platen temperature parameters. Presses are available in 4-column or C frame configurations, with both up or down stroking hydraulic rams.

Röcher Hydraulic Presses up to 5,000-tons Market leading hydraulic press manufacturer P.J. Hare linked up with German counterpart Röcher GmbH to forge an alliance that will help it expand its activities across the continent and the rest of the World. With Röcher specialising in larger presses from up to 5,000-tons, this logical tie-up marks a big step forward - for both companies. P.J. Hare can now supply large hydraulic presses for a much wider range of applications and capacities, with our customers benefiting from a single point of purchase. They can also be confident that they will receive the same high levels of technical support and service that they are used to when buying a Hare press. Röcher is a mechanical and hydraulic engineering company with their design and manufacturing operation based in the Siegerland region of Germany. Their product portfolio includes hydraulic presses and customized special machines for forming technology.

BrakeMaster Range Brakes

The BrakeMaster machines revolutionise Aircraft steel brake assembly and disassembly by semi-automating the riveting and de-riveting processes and reducing the time taken from several minutes to seconds. Based on our standard press model AM300 and developed in conjunction with the United States Air Force, the Brakemaster speeds up and deskills the entire brake riveting process, allowing brake units to be disassembled in a few seconds and assembled in just a couple of minutes. BrakeMaster is a vital piece of equipment for wheel and brake MRO facilities. The machine is not aircraft specific and can be used for almost all types of steel brakes of different models and sizes.

Wheel Bearings

In addition we have recently added the Aircraft Wheel Bearing Assembly and Dis-assembly Press. The 25 ton capacity press designed using assemblies from our standard range is fitted with a manual slide table, long stroke and light screen guard for added safety. The press tonnage can be adjusted from 1 to 25 tons, the ram movement is controlled by push buttons which allow the operator to accurately inch the ram in either direction. The slide table will accommodate everything from the smallest Cessna wheel to Airbus A380.

There are two types of BrakeMaster machines The Assembly (rivet) and Dis-assembly (de-rivet).
