Mechanical presses are used in manufacturing plants to shape metal materials by applying pressure, or to assemble products¹. They offer high production speeds and allow for mass production. On mechanical presses, only a few standard parameters can be set, so the machine is not as flexible or versatile as a hydraulic press. Mechanical presses usually require an operator to manage the operations associated with striking. Therefore, it is necessary to equip such machines with suitable safety devices, such as foot switches, gratings, etc.

There are several types of mechanical presses, and it is important to understand the differences in order to choose the type that is best for your business. It can be a bending machine, rolling, forging, power, punching, stamping or steel press.

I hope this information helps you in making an informed decision when buying a mechanical press.
