Buy Used Transfer Presses
A progressive press is a type of machine used in metalworking to form or machine workpieces in various stages. It is also referred to as a "step machine tool". A progressive press works similarly to a punch press, where the material is usually fixed flat on a die or punch and then punched or cut out by applying a force. A progressive press, on the other hand, is designed to shape the material in a sequential series of steps. Generally, there are two types of progressive presses: horizontal and vertical. Horizontal transfer presses move the material on a horizontal plane and can be operated either manually or automatically. Vertical transfer presses, on the other hand, move the material on a vertical plane and are often automatically controlled. Step presses are used in many different industries, including automotive, aerospace, marine, and machine building, as well as in the manufacturing of household appliances and electronic devices. The advantages of using progressive presses are high precision and great versatility in processing materials of various shapes and sizes.
