When production can’t wait, lead time becomes a constraint just like tonnage, shut height, or bed size. We built our mechanical press delivery program around one goal: help manufacturers add capacity faster without taking shortcuts that create long-term reliability or maintenance problems.
Many builders quote extended lead times, and we understand why, capacity planning, purchased components, and build schedules all matter. Our approach is to structure our mechanical press builds and workflows to support significantly shorter delivery timelines than the industry norm, so you can respond to demand, new programs, or aging equipment risk sooner.
We offer proven mechanical press architectures that cover a wide range of stamping needs, from robust straight-side designs to gap-frame configurations where access and footprint drive the decision:
• Proven straight-side designs for high-volume, high-rigidity applications
• Gap-frame designs where accessibility and layout flexibility are priorities
• Configurable features to align with tooling, automation, and part flow
Quick delivery only matters if the press runs reliably once it’s on the floor. Our mechanical presses are engineered for production environments where uptime and consistent part quality drive total cost of ownership, and where maintainability is a requirement, not a nice-to-have.
The clutch and brake system is a core reliability and safety element in any mechanical press. We specify heavy-duty clutch/brake systems built for production, with a focus on consistent stopping performance, serviceability, and stable operation across demanding duty cycles.
Part quality depends on how well the press controls slide motion and maintains alignment under load. We focus on precision slide guidance to support repeatable parts, consistent die conditions, and reduced variability shift-to-shift, especially important in high-volume work where small drift turns into scrap quickly.
Modern controls should do more than run the press, they should help protect people and shorten troubleshooting time. Our I-PRESS® controls support safety functions and make it easier for maintenance and production teams to see what’s happening:
• Safety-focused control architecture aligned with modern expectations
• Diagnostics and alarm visibility to reduce downtime
• Job and setup support to improve repeatability and changeover consistency
A press is a long-life asset, and support after installation is part of the purchase decision. We back these presses with U.S.-based service and long-term support, with a focus on practical troubleshooting, maintenance planning, and lifecycle upgrades as your production needs evolve.
Next Step: If You Need Capacity Now, Let’s Talk
If you’re facing a capacity gap, a program launch, or an aging press that can’t risk extended downtime, we can review your requirements and recommend a path forward.
