What are C-frame presses

A C-frame press is a special type of forming machine that is used for various manufacturing processes such as punching, bending, embossing and deep drawing. The machine is characterised by its open C-shaped structure, which allows access to the work areas from three sides. This design facilitates the handling of large workpieces and complex machining processes.

Another feature is the high degree of customisability. C-frame presses can be customised, e.g. with drawing cushions, ejectors or sideshifters, to meet specific production requirements. Their robust construction ensures stability and precision, even under high pressure.

Customisation options include:

• Work surface adjustments, stroke height and force.
• Additional functions such as die cushions, ejectors and sideshifters for complex machining processes.
• Integration of automation technologies for efficient use in modern production environments.
• Safety functions such as safety devices and emergency stop systems for safe operation.

C-frame presses are particularly popular in the automotive industry, metalworking and other industries that require precise forming processes. They offer high versatility and efficiency, especially in automated production environments.
