5 Main Types of Assembly Presses

Manufacturing facilities often use low-force, precision press machines to create, form, or assemble products. These machines range drastically in size, depending on the application. Even so, most industrial assembly presses are comprised of a ram, frame, and platen. The ram is the moving element that applies force, and the frame provides a secure mount for the platen, which holds the workpiece in place.
If you’re in the automation industry,…
