Used Presses Description

A Press is a machine with a stationary base and an upper ram that moves along a vertical axis to shear, bend, or form sheet metal. We carry many types of used presses. Obi Presses or Open Back Inclinable Presses, which are the most popular, use a die and a specified tonnage to press your part into a multitude of shapes. These are usually flywheel presses, which use a large flywheels to generate the energy needed to press your part. There are also Straight-Side Presses. These are large bed machines that are used in the automotive industry that stamp sheets of steel. They are used in high production factories. There are a few types of clutches for Presses like hydraulic, mechanical, air clutch, air trip, and Hydra-Mechanical.

As for the clutch, Hydraulic clutch is the safest, and most expensive. They are generally slower and have more of a precise bend. Hydraulic Presses have a better control when inching down and setting up for your bend, they also can return to the top at any time, these are best for forming. They are also safer due to the ram being able to retract at any point. Air clutch machine work in the same way except they use air to activate the clutch. The difference is that you have to complete the rotation once activated. You may inch down, but you won't have the control of a Hydraulic. This makes it more dangerous, but faster. Air Trip, is a cheaper, sometimes aftermarket clutch system that can be added to a standard press. Mechanical is the most dangerous of them all, you lose a lot of control. The clutch has to make a full rotation, and can't be stopped at any time during the process. Hydra-Mechanical work similar to a Air Clutch.
