Two press cylinders are disposed at an equal interval at left and right having the opening-closing cylinder therebetween, so as to have the approximately same distance from the conveying reference plane as the opening-closing cylinder. The opening-closing cylinder comprises an opening-closing linear encoder, which detects a decreased amount of the entire thickness of the object-to-be-processed as a displacement of the ram, when the object-to-be-processed is hot-pressed. The respective press cylinders comprise pressure sensors for press cylinders detecting pressing pressures of the pressing plates as cylinder inner pressures. A horizontal hotpress system is provided, which can easily improve yield ratio of the boards after hot-pressing by measuring thickness size of the object-to-be-processed while hot-pressed, according to an operation distance of the opening-closing cylinder, comprising an opening-closing cylinder for opening and closing the press plates, other than a plurality of the press cylinders for pressing the press plates.

Horizontal hotpress system

A horizontal hotpress system is provided, which can maintain the thickness of the boards (laminated boards) after hot-pressing within the allowable range, by driving and controlling the press cylinders individually, even when, for example, the size or material of the boards changes. Also, A horizontal hotpress system is provided, which can maintain the thickness of the boards (laminated boards) after hot-pressing within the allowable range, by driving and controlling the press cylinders individually or jointly without adjusting the pressing positions of the press cylinders, even when, for example, the size or material of the boards changes, and further, being able to adapt to change of the material of the boards or the like.
