The frame is shaped like the letter C, so the operator can load and unload from three sides. A motor turns a flywheel, a clutch connects the flywheel to a crankshaft, and the slide moves up and down with a fixed stroke each time the clutch engages. Capacity ranges from small bench-top machines to presses of several tens of tons, and the open frame makes them common in job shops, tool rooms and small-part production.
A C-type frame flexes slightly under load, which limits accuracy and the largest force it can use safely, but it is cheaper and easier to feed. An H-frame or straight-side press is stiffer and suits larger parts, progressive dies and tighter tolerances at higher cost.
It is used for blanking, piercing, bending and shallow forming of sheet metal parts in small and medium batches, where the open front makes loading and unloading easy.
Work out the force from the material, thickness and cut or form length, then choose a press with a comfortable margin above it. Ask the maker for the rated force at the point in the stroke where the work happens.
Light progressive work is possible, but a stiffer H-frame or straight-side press holds accuracy better over long runs and is usually preferred for heavier progressive tooling.
