For nearly 80 years, Sutherland Presses has delivered world-class metal forming solutions. From servo-hydraulic to mechanical and forge presses (100ā6000 T), our I-PRESSĀ® controls set the industry standard for precision, durability, and Industry 4.0-ready performance.
KC Press debuts the CPS-30 and CPS-60 servo-hydraulic gap-frame presses, merging power, precision, and energy efficiency. Equipped with I-PRESSĀ® ECO controls, these compact machines deliver faster setups, consistent results, and smart connectivity for modern forming and assembly applications.
EMS manufacturers boost precision, uptime, and yield with Sutherland & KC Presses. From servo-hydraulic NPI cells to mechanical lines for volume production, the I-PRESSĀ® control unifies motion, pressure, and data, enabling faster changeovers, lower energy costs, and reliable Industry 4.0 performance.
Sutherland offers two 60-ton hydraulic gap-frame presses ready to ship. The CP-60 delivers versatile, cost-effective forming, while the CPS-60-ECO adds servo efficiency, smoother motion, and energy savingsāall built on Tier-1 components with I-PRESS ECO controls.
I-PRESS & Automation unifies servo-hydraulic and mechanical presses under one smart controlādelivering precision motion, energy savings, and advanced safety. From 60 to 6000 tons, it integrates seamlessly with automation to maximize accuracy, uptime, and performance.
By pairing proven press structures with I-PRESSĀ® & Automation and four-corner level monitoring, teams gain predictable process windows across jobs and shifts. The results are measurable: better laminate thickness control, cleaner fiber architecture, and repeatable consolidation,even when tools run hot and loads.
Whirlpoolās Michigan R&D Center needed a full capability, 400-ton servo hydraulic press to support rapid prototyping, tooling trials, and material developmentāinside a lab bay capped at just 14 feet of ceiling height.
Our service technicians are also keeping existing lines performing at their best with preventive maintenance, diagnostics, and rapid-response repairs. Customers are seeing faster ramp-ups, reduced unplanned downtime, and smoother changeovers thanks to job memory, programmable motion profiles, and on-screen fault guidance.
The story of presses begins with the most fundamental manufacturing act: shaping material by force. For thousands of years that force was delivered by muscleāsmiths hot-forged iron with hand hammers and simple tools. As communities organized around waterpower in the late Middle Ages, cam-driven helve hammers and trip hammers...
Mark Sutherland, an experienced press man with decades in the metal forming industry, was visiting the Euro Blech show in Hannover, Germany. Surrounded by giant machines from industry leaders in Germany, Japan, and Italy, Mark noticed something troubling: the control panels for these high-powered presses were intimidating...
Backed by more than seventy-five years of metal-forming pedigree, the new CPS, DPS, and HPS Series promise to compress lead-times, operating costs, and maintenance headaches all at once. Early adopters report double-digit throughput gains and near-instant ROI, confirming that the servo-hydraulic era has officially arrived.
Sutherland Presses is turning heads across the forming industry with the arrival of its newest showpiece, the HD2-500 Ton Servo-Hydraulic Press. Installed earlier this week at a leading manufacturer, the powerhouse machine instantly elevated shop-floor capabilities, bringing monumental force, extreme accuracy...
š§ Upgrading to I-PRESS Controls gives traditional presses a new brainātransforming them into adaptive, intelligent systems. Through real-time feedback and smart machine integration, manufacturers gain control over performance variables like never before š.
For steel fabrication shops looking to optimize efficiency and reduce costs, investing in a KC Servo Hydraulic Press represents a strategic upgrade. This advanced piece of machinery combines precision, versatility, and power, enabling shops to drastically reduce reliance on costly traditional equipment such as shears, press brakes.
The future of hot heading technology is hereāand itās built to perform. At Sutherland, weāve redefined traditional bolt manufacturing with our Front-Loading Sliding Table (FLST) system. Designed to maximize operator safety, minimize heat loss, and increase production output, FLST has become a critical innovation for manufacturers.
With 65 years of experience in designing and installing press systems, Team Sutherland has perfected the process from application review to installation, training, and service.

Sutherland Presses is proud to announce the successful installation of our advanced metal forming equipment at Guardian Bikes in Seymour, Indiana. This collaboration marks an exciting step forward in helping Guardian expand its in-house manufacturing capabilities.
Key advantages of this press include a right to left drive that reduces overall height, a 10mm full tonnage rating point ABDC, a 10ā stroke, operating at 25-60 SPM, large side windows designed for a coil feed system, and an 8 Point Slide Guidance system among other features.
Our revolutionary I-PRESS & Automation controls redefine standards, aligning with Industry 4.0 and 5.0 while surpassing safety benchmarks like Category 3 and Performance Level D. Kickstarting with I-PRESS, experience seamless remote access and data retrieval for comprehensive press line monitoring and enhanced uptime.
Link Motion, originally conceptualized by William Howe in the mid-1800s for the locomotive industry, has evolved to enhance metal stamping processes, gaining popularity in the early 1980s.
At Sutherland Presses, we cater to the best and strive to be the best. Our presses are especially well-suited for clients currently equipped with machinery from other leading providers such as Schuler, Aida, or Komatsu.
By focusing on precision, reliability, and customer-driven innovation, we help businesses enhance their production capabilities and maintain a competitive edge. As we approach 2025, Sutherland Presses is dedicated to aligning technological advancements with our customers' requirements.
Sutherland Presses has unveiled the I-PRESS & Automation Controls, marking a significant advancement in the realm of press control technology. This innovative solution is designed to integrate seamlessly with mechanical, servo hydraulic, and forge presses, providing a comprehensive approach to pressing operations.
Sutherland Presses continues to lead the industry with its KC PRESSES DPS Series Four Post Presses, renowned for their cutting-edge features and advanced technologies. A standout attribute of these presses is the I-PRESSĀ® & Automation Control system.
We recently completed the installation of a CRS-176-ton press in Mexico, an ideal choice for progressive dies in the low-tonnage range. Meanwhile, in Asia, the EHW-4-2000-ton four-point eccentric press.
