C-type power press is a widely used mechanical press in manufacturing and fabrication industries, designed for a variety of metalworking operations such as stamping, punching, bending, blanking, piercing, and cutting. This type of press is especially popular for small to medium-scale production due to its compact design, operational flexibility, and cost-effectiveness.
The C-type power press derives its name from its distinctive C-shaped (or open-throat) frame, which provides easy access to the working area from three sides. This open design allows operators to conveniently load and unload materials, set up tools and dies, and perform adjustments with minimal effort. The open throat structure makes the press ideal for jobs that require frequent tool changes or handling of larger workpieces.
The frame of a C-type power press is engineered to deliver high structural strength, stability, and rigidity during continuous operation. It is typically manufactured using high-quality mild steel (MS iron) and cast iron, ensuring excellent resistance to vibration, deformation, and long-term wear. These materials enhance the machine’s durability, allowing it to withstand heavy loads and repeated press cycles while maintaining consistent performance.
