Some Examples of Presses By Application
- A press brake is a special type of machine press that bends sheet metal into shape. A good example of the type of work a press brake can do is the backplate of a computer case. Other examples include brackets, frame pieces and electronic enclosures just to name a few. Some press brakes have CNC controls and can form parts with accuracy to a fraction of a millimetre. Bending forces can exceed 4,000 kilonewtons (900,000 lbf).
- A punch press is used to form holes.
- A screw press is also known as a fly press.
- A stamping press is a machine press used to shape or cut metal by deforming it with a die. It generally consists of a press frame, a bolster plate, and a ram.

“May my application so close
To so endless a repetition
Not make me tired and morose
And resentful of man’s condition.”
