Machine press

A forming press, commonly shortened to press, is a machine tool that changes the shape of a workpiece by the application of pressure. Presses can be classified according to

  • their mechanism: hydraulic, mechanical, pneumatic;
  • their function: forging presses, stamping presses, press brakes, punch press, etc.
  • their structure, e.g. Knuckle-joint press, screw press
  • their controllability: conventional vs. servo-presses
  • An example of peculiar press structure: shop press

    A simple frame, fabricated from steel, containing a bottle jack or simple hydraulic cylinder. Good for general-purpose work in the auto mechanic shop, machine shop, garage or basement shops, etc. Typically 1 to 30 tons of pressure, depending on size and expense. Classed with engine hoists and engine stands in many tool catalogs.

    Some examples of presses by application

  • A press brake is a special type of machine press that bends sheet metal into shape. A good example of the type of work a press brake can do is the backplate of a computer case. Other examples include brackets, frame pieces and electronic enclosures just to name a few. Some press brakes have CNC controls and can form parts with accuracy to a fraction of a millimetre. Bending forces can range up to 3,000 tons.
