Straight-side metal stamping presses come in several types, each suited to specific applications:
- Single Crank Presses: Feature one crankshaft and are used for small to medium-sized parts. Ideal for operations requiring moderate precision and force.
- Double Crank Presses: Equipped with two crankshafts, providing greater stability and force distribution, suitable for larger parts and more demanding tasks.
- Tie Rod Presses: Utilize tie rods to enhance rigidity, minimizing deflection during high-force operations, ensuring consistent precision.
- Link Motion Presses: Offer controlled motion of the ram, improving the quality of formed parts by reducing snap-through forces.
- Knuckle Joint Presses: Designed for deep-drawing operations, these presses offer a slower, more powerful stroke, ideal for forming complex shapes.
