When metal working there are a variety of ways that can be chosen to accomplish the job. When a company is choosing a stamping press, there are several different types to take into consideration. The three main categories consist of mechanically driven, hydraulic/pneumatic press and finally, servo/transfer driven presses.
Press is widely use in commercial configurations for an extensive range of uses, such as contracting, creating, and pressing. There are many different kinds of presses. Between them the most used in industrial are Pneumatic Presses and hydraulic presses.
The pneumatic press is finding its way onto shop floors to shoulder workloads normally reserved for mechanical and hydraulic presses at nearly half the capital equipment cost. The main advantages of Pneumatic Presses are their speed. It can carry on ten times swifter than hydraulic presses. Pneumatic baling presses are much faster than hydraulic baling presses, and that means their are many jobs they can perform faster and more efficiently.
However, a hydraulic press is a machine (see machine press) using a hydraulic cylinder to generate a compressive force. It uses the hydraulic equivalent of a mechanical lever, and was also known as a Bramah press
