During the assembly of a vehicle chassis, the distribution unit directs hydraulic fluid from a central pump to the main press cylinder and to several auxiliary clamping cylinders that hold the sheet metal in place while the press strokes. By providing individual flow paths, the unit allows the press to switch between different tooling setups without stopping the line, which keeps throughput high and reduces change‑over time. In the same plant, the unit also supplies pneumatic pressure to the robot‑mounted grippers that move body panels from one station to the next; the ability to control each branch independently lets the controller synchronize gripping and release actions with the conveyor rhythm. Because the unit is mounted on the moving carriage of the press, it follows the tool and eliminates long hydraulic hoses that would otherwise limit speed and increase wear. The result is a compact, service‑friendly solution that keeps the stamping and handling sections of the line operating continuously.
