Hydraulic Presses for Every Purpose At The Workshop Press Company
Industrial Hydraulic Press Machines
At Workshop Press, hydraulic presses are available in a variety of sizes, frameworks, control sets, and tonnage capacities. Furthermore, we can customise presses to meet specific applications and needs. As hydraulic presses are frequently in use for certain industrial applications, it’s critical to talk to the technical sales engineer about the uses you desire. In addition to check that the machine is suitable for the job.
One of the most crucial factors is frame structure. The way a machine’s structure is built will determine whether it can withstand years of use. The machine could be a common model or a one-of-a-kind creation (designed and manufactured specifically). Here are a selection of industrial hydraulic presses types we offer.

ADVANTAGES OF HYDRAULIC PRESSES
-
Tonnage Consistency
Anywhere along the stroke, a hydraulic press can create complete pressing force. This provides you more control over the distance travelled, the pressure applied, and the position in which you return.
-
Customisation / Bespoke
Even the most difficult items may be pressed with industrial hydraulic presses. In addition, we can make changes to an existing design or create a bespoke press to match your specific needs.
-
Small Footprint
Presses can apply a lot of pressure to a tiny area. Therefore, they take up far less space than many other machines in the industry.
-
Economical
Because of the hydraulic press’s simplicity, they rarely break down, resulting in lower maintenance costs. However, if it does go down, though, parts are inexpensive and simple to replace.
-
Longer Tool Life
The hydraulic press tool, not the press, is tailored to fit the application. Overload prevention helps to protect tooling from damage, extending tool life.
WORKSHOP PRESSES
H-Frame Presses: The Powerhouse of the Workshop
H-frame presses, also known as Workshop Presses, are a versatile and powerful tool that can be used for a variety of tasks in the workshop. They are designed to deliver a specific amount of force to a specific location, and they can be used to bend, shape, and form metal, plastic, and other materials.
Also known as Hydraulic H-Frame Presses or Bearing Presses, they have uses including metalwork bending and folding, holding welding projects, punching, straightening uneven metal parts, bearing pressing, pressing locked parts, flattening warped parts, separating rusted parts, compressing, crushing used oil filters to remove excess oil, automobile part construction, jewellery-making, ammunition, and bracket bending. They are, nevertheless, extensively employed in workshops for bearing pressing and straightening.
H-frame presses are powered by a hydraulic system, which means that they can generate a lot of force with a relatively small amount of input power. This makes them ideal for use in small workshops and home-based businesses, where space and power are limited.
H-frame presses are available in a variety of sizes and capacities, so you can choose the one that is right for your needs. They are also available with a variety of features, such as adjustable tables and programmable controls.
If you are looking for a powerful and versatile tool for your workshop, an H-frame press is a great option. They are easy to use and maintain, and they can save you time and money on a variety of projects.

C-FRAME MECHANICAL PRESSES
Mechanical C-Frame Presses are very similar to Hydraulic C-Frame presses in that they structural press framework, which is manufactured out of S355JR steel, form a C around the bottom bolster of the press.
The primary differences between a industrial Mechanical C-Frame Presses and Hydraulic C-Frame presses are the drive mechanisms that move the top slide plate of the press. With the Mechanical Gap Frame Presses the slide plate is driven by a central motorised that has a lubrication system and an overload protection and then works in conjunction with an electro-pneumatic clutch-brake combination.
The electro-pneumatic clutch and brake combination are equipped with a dual safety solenoid valve. This pneumatic system includes a compensation tank, a regulator-lubrication filter, and a control pressure switch.
All of the PPE Series C-Frame Presses are high speed presses that conform with all the latest CE Machinery Directives.
Bespoke models and features are also available upon request.

Advantages of Four Column Hydraulic Presses
One of the primary advantages of Four Column Hydraulic Presses is their structural integrity and balance, provided by the four-column design. This design distributes the load evenly across the press, minimizing deflection and ensuring that the force is applied uniformly across the workpiece. This uniform force distribution is essential for applications that involve forming, drawing, and stamping, where even minor deviations can lead to defects in the final product.
Additionally, the four-column design allows for a more open working area compared to other press designs. This open layout facilitates easier access for tool changes, material handling, and die maintenance, enhancing the overall efficiency of the production process. The flexibility in tooling and setup makes Four Column Presses adaptable to a wide range of tasks, from simple bending to complex hydro-forming operations.
Common Uses for Four Column Hydraulic Presses
Four Column Hydraulic Presses are used across various industries due to their versatility and precision. Some of the most common applications include:
- Forming: Shaping metal and other materials into specific forms using dies and punches.
- Drawing: Extending material into a desired shape, commonly used in the production of automotive components, metal containers, and kitchenware.
- Bending and Folding: Precision bending of metal sheets and plates, often used in the manufacturing of brackets, enclosures, and frames.
- Stamping and Punching: Creating intricate patterns, holes, or cutouts in metal sheets, which is essential in the automotive, aerospace, and electronics industries.
- Hydro-forming: Using high-pressure hydraulic fluid to form complex shapes, particularly in the automotive and aerospace sectors for lightweight and strong components.
- Flanging: Creating flanges on pipes, tubes, and other components, used extensively in plumbing, HVAC, and automotive applications.

CAMBERING PRESSES
Profi Press Hydraulic Cambering Presses are available in three tonnages. They each have their own supporting back tables and main pushing table. T-Grooves and support blocks are included with both tables. These Cambering Presses are built in the EU from S355JR steel, with an electro-welded horizontal structure that is extremely strong.
Furthermore, the pushing tables are perfectly aligned at all times thanks to four cylindrical lateral guides. These horizontally oriented cambering machines make loading large bars, beams, and profiles much easier. Additionally, there are two speeds on all presses: a quick approach speed and a working speed.
PRODUCTION PRESSES
Profi Press industrial Hydraulic Production Presses are available in a variety of tonnages, as well as different sizes of vertical and front holes. Slide and bolster tables of various sizes are also available.
Production presses are made of S355JR steel by RHTC. This results in an electro welded structure that will last a lifetime. T-grooves are standard on the lower bolster table and upper slide table. Four cylindrical lateral guides keep the top slide completely parallel, ensuring that the upper table is perfectly aligned.
Moreover, the upper table’s position is easily adjustable and controlled from a side panel. There are two speeds on all production presses.
PORTAL PRESSES
Roll Frame Presses are the most common name for these presses. They resemble Workshop Presses in appearance. However, they add another axis of accessibility. For instance, they let the head to move from front to rear as well as from left to right. The working table on portal presses is quite large. 1.5 metres broad and 3 metres deep, for example.
Straightening techniques on huge plates, large sheets, wide beams, railways, and pipes are ideally adapted to them.
