Sheet Metal Forming Press Machines

Multi presses are handy tools used for forming, cutting, and bending in sheet metal fabrication . When working with metal, you will invariably run into a situation where you need to fabricate with metal that is too thick for your brake, shear, or notcher. Many times, this would require hydraulic equipment, which is too expensive for most small shops and budgets. A multi press machine is a great solution for working with heavier thicker metal by interchanging optional tooling for low to medium volumes and is cost-effective as well. The press design offers 3 tons of manual pressing power to handle shearing up to 1/16” thickness and bending up to 3/16” thick. The Woodward Fab Sheet Metal forming press Machines are lauded for their superior performance, extreme reliability, and long service life.

Beneficial Features of Sheet Metal Multi Press

At Woodward Fab, we understand the complexity of sheet metal fabrication tasks. We offer a range of sheet metal multi press machines which can create a huge amount of force. We keep in mind the industry-specific applications of our clients. We also offer additional pressing die sets that work with our multi press. The following features of our sheet metal forming press have contributed to its popularity among businesses:

• Our sheet metal multi presses feature a rugged and heavy-duty construction. This assures precise metal forming as well as long-term dependable service.
• The c-framed tool is designed to accept optional tooling to make it versatile at performing a variety of dedicated fabrication processes such as bending, notching, shearing, and even creating louvers in sheet metal and bar stock.
• Our sheet metal multi presses are compactly designed, and hence can be easily installed in a workshop that has space constraints.
• Sheet metals of various lengths, weights, and thicknesses can be clamped and secured easily for forming using a handle.
• The tool is available with an optional sturdy modular stand, which can be easily secured and moved around the shop with a caster.
• Owing to all the above-discussed features, this tool is widely used for forming parts, such as springs, weights, washers and brackets, metal clips, and so on. Additionally, it is used to form complex designs such as those found in friction plates or engine bases.

How Multi Press Machines Work?

An Industrial multi-press machine is designed like a flatbed that features a pressing rod or ram. This rod is actuated manually by pulling down on the handle lever.  To produce a metal pressed part, you need to insert two halves of sheet metal into the press. Once the sheet metal is positioned underneath the machine die or plate, the operator operates the press.

Applications of Sheet Metal Multi Press

The multi-press has had several applications for nearly a century. Here is a list of most industries that use multi-presses.

• Aerospace
• Military and defense
• Agriculture
• Home appliances OEMs
• Medical equipment OEMs
• Automotive
• Telecommunications

Choosing the appropriate sheet metal die presses will entirely depend on the specific requirements of an application. If you are looking for an efficient multi press for your sheet metal fabrication needs, then you are at the right place. We have developed expertise in this segment and hence can successfully cater to our clients’ complex requirements across industries by offering them quality products.
