Mechanical presses are famous for their high production rates and part making accuracy. The all steel welded construction uses a tie rod design to provide a rigid robust press structure required for precision part production. An AC Variable Frequency main drive motor provides power to double reduction gearing contained in a fully enclosed crown located above the die area to keep powder out of critical drive mechanisms. All drive mechanisms are lubricated through a double filtered pressurized recirculation oil system to ensure long reliable service under demanding conditions.
