Press Type | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Clicker Press | Presses designed for the die cutting of web or sheet materials usually consist of a wide table or plate with a smaller swing-arm head. Clicker presses are used in the manual conversion of web or sheet materials such as woven cloth, non-woven textiles, or rubber sheeting. | ||
Laboratory Press | Equipment is designed for laboratory applications such as process parameter studies, material development, or sample preparation. | ||
Rotary Die Cutter | Rotary die cutting machines or roller press die cutters are used in the high-speed converting of web or sheet materials such as woven cloth, non-woven textiles, coated abrasives, adhesive tape, or rubber sheeting. Rotary die cutters consist of a roller-shaped rotary cutting die that is pressed against the web. The web material is pulled in, and converted into shapes as the roller die rotates. | ||
Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary stamping machine or press forming operation. | ||
Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||

Hot / Thermal Press | Thermal presses or machines are suitable for elevated temperature operations such as hot stamping, hot forming, or diffusion bonding of metals. The metal or material is heated to a plastic state, allowing a level of deformation that would cause cracking or excessive residual stress in a cold forming operation. | ||
Search Logic: | "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice. | ||

Technology: | |||
Your choices are... | |||
Air / Pneumatic | The press is driven or powered by a pneumatic cylinder. | ||
Hydraulic | The press is driven or powered by a hydraulic cylinder. Hydraulic presses can generate extremely high forces to form metals or other materials. | ||
Hydro-mechanical | Hydro-mechanical presses are driven by a hydraulic cylinder or hydraulic motor. | ||
Mechanical | The press is driven by a rotary motor through a screw, toggle, lever, or other mechanism. | ||
Servo (Driven / Control) | The press or machine is servo-controlled or directly driven by a servo motor. | ||
Manual | The press is driven or powered by hand, or with manual force that is magnified with screw, lever, or other mechanism. | ||
Other | Other unlisted, specialized, or proprietary technologies. | ||
Search Logic: | All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches. | ||

![]() | ||
Capacity / Operating Force: | The operating press load required to cut or form a part or rivet assembly during production. The rated capacity of a press is the ton pressure, which the slide or ram will safely exert at the bottom of the stroke while working within the range of the press. In a mechanical press, the capacity is determined by the bending capacity of the main shaft (crank, toggle, or eccentric shaft). | ||
Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
![]() | |||
Stroke: | Stroke is the ram travel from top dead center (TDC) to bottom dead center (BDC). | ||
Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||

Throat: | Throat is the distance from the centerline of the ram to the back frame in a gap frame, C frame, or similar press type. | ||
Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||

Daylight / Open Height: | Daylight is the distance in the open position between the ram and the table or bolster plate of a press. In the case of a multi-daylight press, daylight is the distance between adjacent platens. | ||
Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
![]() | |||
Sheet / Working Length (R to L): | The sheet length (largest dimension, X) or working distance from right to left (R to L) that can be punched, formed or converted by the machine. | ||
Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
![]() | |||
Sheet Width / Working Depth (F to B): | The sheet width (smallest dimension, Y) or working depth from front to back (F to B) that can be punched, formed or converted by the machine. | ||
Search Logic: | User may specify either, both, or neither of the "At Least" and "No More Than" values. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria. | ||
