 MECHANICAL PRESSES
 
Stamtec's Mechanical Presses (a.k.a. OBG, OBS, OBI, or C-frame) undergo finite element analysis prior to manufacturing to ensure proper design, superior strength and maximum resistance to deflection.
 
Mechanical Press FAQ
 
What tonnage mechanical presses do you offer?
We stock tonnage range from 25 to 600 and can provide custom built presses with tonnages of up to 3,000.
 
What are the critical specs needed to determine the ideal mechanical press?
The specs we recommend assessing are tonnage, stroke length, die height, speed and bed and slide areas.
 
Can you tell me what kind of press I need for a particular application?
Yes, but you will first need to work with a qualified die builder (we can recommend a few) to determine the specs and capacities required of your press. We can then help you determine what type of press you will need based on this information.

 FORGING PRESSES
 
For many components, cold or hot forging offers critical production efficiencies. Strength, integrity and material savings are just some of the benefits that comes from producing parts on Stamtec forging presses, as opposed to through more traditional machining operations.
 
Forging Presses FAQ
 
What types of drive systems are employed in your forging presses?
We employ knuckle joint or heavy, oversized eccentric drive systems in our forging presses.
 
Why should I consider a forging press instead of a stamping press?
Forging presses are ideal for producing near net-shaped parts, finished single-hit parts or parts that requires extreme force and rigidity.
 
Do you have cold forging and warm-hot forging presses?
Yes. We carry both cold and warm-hot forging presses. In fact, we are one of the few major press manufacturers that offer forging presses.

 SERVO PRESSES
 
With Stamtec's servo motor drive technology, the standard electric motor, flywheel and clutch and brake are replaced with a high-torque, low-rpm servo motor. Proprietary press controls specifically designed for the servo press achieve a wide variety of stroke lengths and slide movement profiles while supplying full working energy even at low speeds.
 
Servo Press FAQ
 
What kind of applications are servo presses ideal for?
Servo presses are ideal for applications that require a variable slide velocity at multiple points in the stroke profile, including metal forming and shallow to medium drawing and forming.
 
What is the difference between a standard mechanical and servo press?
A servo press is driven by a servo motor, as opposed to a standard flywheel, clutch and brake. This provides full energy at any speed, but not full capacity at any stage in the stroke (capacity is best at near bottom center).
 
Should I use a servo press instead of a hydraulic press?
A servo press offers increased production volume when compared to a hydraulic press. Also, all stroke profiles are fully programmable on a servo press.

 HYDRAULIC PRESSES
 
Ahydraulic press generally does not achieve the high cycling speeds of a similar-sized mechanical press but offers more versatility by providing variable stroke length, die space and pressure. The hydraulic press is often the best choice when producing parts that have deep, complex forms or that require a lot of material flow. Tanks, cylinders, bowls or any parts that require a dwell at the bottom of the stroke are often run on hydraulic presses.
 
Hydraulic Press FAQ
 
Why would I use a hydraulic instead of a servo or mechanical press?
A hydraulic press is ideal when you need full tonnage at any point in the stroke profile and full energy at any speed. With a lot of flexibility in die height and stroke length, a hydraulic press can achieve deeper draws and more complex forms.
 
Are there any disadvantages to a using a hydraulic vs. a servo or mechanical press?
The primary disadvantage of a hydraulic press is a relative reduction in production speed.
 
What is the cost of a hydraulic vs. a servo or mechanical press?
Typically, hydraulic presses are more cost effective, but the specific application requirements of each case should be assessed.
