Pillar-Type Power Press manufacturers in India

A pillar-type power press is a mechanical press with a frame supported on vertical pillars, giving higher stiffness than a C-frame for larger parts and more accurate, repeatable work.

What is a pillar-type power press?

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.

Pillar-Type Power Press or C-type power press?

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.

What to specify when you ask for a quote

  • Capacity in tons and the stroke position at which it applies.
  • Bolster and slide size, and the parallelism the maker can guarantee.
  • Stroke, strokes per minute and the number of connecting points (single or double point) for the width of your die.
  • Clutch, brake and safety devices.
  • Shut height and slide adjustment for your tooling.
  • Foundation requirements and the maker's service support.

Where it is used

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a single-point and a double-point press?

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.

Can a pillar press do deep drawing?

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.

How do I check press accuracy before buying?

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.

What maintenance does a pillar-type press need?

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.
