Abstract
An apparatus for compressing a workpiece is disclosed. The apparatus has a die to receive the workpiece in powdered or other form. An abutment holds the workpiece in a fixed position against the application of force, while a hydraulic cylinder is positioned to exert force against the die in the direction toward the abutment. A pump feeds hydraulic fluid to the hydraulic cylinder, and a pressure control valve is coupled to the hydraulic cylinder to control the maximum pressure in the hydraulic cylinder. The pressure control valve has a sealing member, a seat which engages the sealing member with the sealing member closing the outlet, a spring which urges the sealing member towards the seat, closing the outlet, and a backing member putting the spring under compression by maintaining a distance between the backing member and the seat. A stepping motor is rigidly mounted with respect to the seat. The stepping motor has a shaft which may be advanced towards and away from the valve seat whereby the degree of compression on the spring may be adjusted.
