Hydraulic press

Joseph Bramah (1748 - 1814)

It consists, in essence, of two cylinders of different sections connected to each other, and whose interior is completely filled with a liquid that can be water or oil. Two pistons of different sections are fitted, respectively, in each of the two cylinders, so that they are in contact with the liquid. The force acting on the surface of the smaller piston is transmitted through the fluid to the other piston, giving rise to a force greater than the first.

current field of action

In the field of metalworking, a hydraulic press can perform multiple operations, including:

• Punching: procedure used to cut sheets or plates of different metals such as stainless steel.
• Bending: this process causes the newly obtained sheet metal to be transformed or deformed into a totally different piece than the one previously created in the hydraulic press itself, but without changing the thickness of the sheet.
• Bending: another procedure that is carried out in the hydraulic press and that consists of bending a sheet, which has straight edges, exerting intense force for said change.
• Drawing: through which the sheet metal is transformed into a body with a hollow cavity (cylinder).

importance of the hydraulic press in the Mexican context

Thanks to its precision, the hydraulic press is one of the most used techniques given its flexibility. The press is used to give the required shape to the metal sheet, and there are several types: manual, hydraulic or CNC. This invention is applied by large companies in its different types such as TILSA, DEACERO, TERNIUM, among others, in order to streamline the manufacturing and machining processes of parts.

It was developed by the company Intuitive Surgical and has been used in a variety of surgical procedures, including prostate, heart, gynecological, and other surgeries.The system allows surgeons to make precise and delicate movements with surgical instruments, which can result in less damage to surrounding tissues and a faster recovery for the patient. The system provides a high-definition 3D view of the work area, allowing detailed visualization and improving accuracy. The Da Vinci instruments have flexible wrists that can replicate the movements of the surgeon's hand with a greater range of motion.

The incisions required to use the Da Vinci system are much smaller than traditional incisions in open surgery, reducing the risk of infection, postoperative pain and recovery time.In some cases, the Da Vinci system has been used to perform remote surgeries, allowing a surgeon to operate on a patient somewhere else in the world over a high-speed Internet connection.The Da Vinci has revolutionized surgery in various medical specialties, improving the precision and efficiency of procedures. However, it is important to note that its use requires specialized training for surgeons, and its cost can be significantly higher than traditional surgical techniques. Additionally, safety and ethics should always be considered in the use of advanced medical technology.

In Mexico, the Da Vinci system has been used in hospitals and clinics throughout the country for a variety of surgical procedures, such as prostate surgery, gynecological surgery, cardiac surgery, colorectal surgery, among others. The introduction of this technology has led to significant improvements in healthcare and has allowed surgeons to perform procedures more precisely and less invasively. The Da Vinci system has been widely adopted in top-level hospitals in Mexico and has been used to treat a wide range of medical conditions. Its presence in the country has given patients access to more advanced treatments and improved surgical outcomes in many medical specialties.
