The slide runs between sturdy pillars, so the force is carried more evenly and the frame deflects less under load than an open C-frame. These presses are built for heavier blanking, drawing and forming, and for dies that need good parallelism between the slide and bolster. They are common where parts are larger or tolerances are tighter.
A pillar-type press costs more and gives less access around the die, but it holds accuracy better and takes larger forces safely. A C-type press suits smaller parts where easy feeding is the priority.
A single-point press has one connection between crankshaft and slide and suits narrower dies; a double-point press has two and carries wide dies and off-centre loads better.
Mechanical presses can draw shallow and medium parts. For deep drawing a hydraulic press, or a mechanical press with a die cushion and suitable stroke, is usually better; ask the maker for the right model.
Ask for the parallelism between slide and bolster, and for test or inspection records. If possible, see a press of the same model running a comparable job.
Regular lubrication of the slide guides and bearings, inspection of the clutch and brake linings, checks on the safety devices and periodic checks of slide parallelism. Ask the maker for a maintenance schedule and which wear parts to keep in stock.
