Why mechanical presses dominate high-volume cutting

 

Cutting operations generate their peak force in the last fraction of the stroke, at and just before the moment of material fracture, very close to BDC. This is precisely where the mechanical eccentric press has its full rated tonnage available. The energy of the flywheel is released instantaneously at impact; the motor only compensates for losses between strokes.

 

The result: maximum cadence, minimum energy cost per cut, and a stroke profile that is geometrically repeatable cycle after cycle, the three criteria that make the mechanical press the industry standard for large-series strip cutting and blanking.
