Customizable C-Frame Presses from G+K
C-Frame Presses
Single-column presses offer excellent accessibility to the press table from three sides.
Application
This type of press is used for punching, bending, deep drawing, forming, pressing, embossing, straightening, calibrating, assembling, deburring, and more. The good accessibility of the press table also allows for the processing of large and bulky components.
These presses are used for manual loading, but can also be equipped with G+K automation components for large-scale production. Additional functions such as draw pads, ejectors, and side shifters are possible and implemented as needed.
Special Features
G+K C-frame presses have a robust construction made of welded steel plates, which are first annealed and then precisely machined. C-frame presses are offered with two types of ram guidance: the classic round column guidance with a focus on twist prevention, and a flat guidance with linear guides on the press wall and four tool carriages on the ram. Even though the C-frame press is geometrically less favorable due to its asymmetrical design, the strong design of G+K presses provides sufficient compensation for deflection.
Customizable Parameters of Our C-Frame Presses
Distance Between Uprights
The distance (in mm) between the two vertical uprights of the C-frame affects the maximum width of the material to be processed.
Work Surface
The size of the work surface (in mm x mm) where the material to be processed is placed.
Tool Change System
C-frame presses can feature a tool change system to facilitate the exchange of tools for different production requirements.
Safety Features
Modern C-frame presses are often equipped with various safety features, such as light curtains, emergency stop switches, and safety zones to prevent accidents.
Energy Efficiency
The energy consumption of the C-frame press can play a role, especially in terms of operating costs and environmental impact.

What is a C-Frame Press?
A C-frame, or single-column press, is a type of hydraulic press where the machine frame has the shape of the letter "C". The C-frame design provides an open structure for good accessibility and easy setup.
