Sutherland Presses continues to strengthen its position in the metal forming industry with its advanced line of gap frame presses. Designed in California, these machines are built to meet modern manufacturing demands while maintaining the durability and reliability that define the brand.
The company offers gap frame presses ranging from 35 to 330 tons, providing flexibility for a wide variety of applications. These presses are available with both mechanical and servo hydraulic drive systems, allowing manufacturers to select the ideal configuration based on their production requirements and operational goals.
The MARK SERIES mechanical gap frame presses have established a strong reputation across the industry. Available in both single point and double point wide bed configurations, these machines are engineered to accommodate larger dies while maintaining precision and repeatability. With over 30 years of MARK II series machines in daily production, reliability remains a key differentiator.
In addition to mechanical solutions, Sutherland offers the CPS SERIES servo hydraulic gap frame presses. These systems provide enhanced control, flexibility, and efficiency, making them ideal for more complex forming applications.
Key CPS SERIES configurations include:
This versatility allows manufacturers to optimize performance across a wide range of production environments.
Every new gap frame press from Sutherland is now equipped with the I-PRESS & Automation Control system. This integration represents a major advancement in how press operations are controlled, monitored, and optimized in real time.
The system delivers:
This standardization ensures that all new equipment aligns with modern smart manufacturing requirements.
The I-PRESS system is built on a Rockwell Automation Allen-Bradley hardware and software platform, ensuring reliability and compatibility with industry standards. This foundation enables seamless integration with existing systems while providing a scalable architecture for future upgrades.
Sutherland’s I-PRESS control system incorporates a wide range of features designed to improve efficiency, safety, and data visibility across press operations.
Core capabilities include:
These features empower manufacturers to operate with greater precision and control.
Sutherland also offers retrofit solutions for older mechanical presses, allowing manufacturers to upgrade existing equipment with modern control capabilities. By integrating I-PRESS into legacy systems, companies can extend machine life while improving safety, performance, and operational insight.
As manufacturing demands continue to evolve, legacy control systems are no longer sufficient to keep pace. Sutherland’s I-PRESS technology bridges this gap by delivering safer, smarter, and more scalable press operations. With its combination of mechanical reliability and advanced digital control, the company is setting a new benchmark for gap frame press performance.
