Punch Press Frame Impacts Stamping Efficiency & Accuracy
Understanding common frame types is critical for optimal performance. We break down Straight-Wall (H-Frame), Gantry, Single-Column (C-Frame), Double-Column, Four-Column, and Toggle press frames to guide your selection.

Four-Column Frame: The Unshakable Titan for Ultra-High Pressure
Structure: Four vertical tie-rods at each corner, connected by top/bottom beams for a box-type construction.
Key Advantages:
✓ Unmatched rigidity – minimal deflection under load
✓ Exceptionally uniform pressure distribution
✓ Handles extreme tonnages (1,000+ tons)Ideal For: Heavy-duty forging, powder metallurgy compaction, lamination, rubber/plastic molding.
Our Solution: Our newly launched hydraulic press leverages this robust design for ultra-high-pressure applications, such as powder forming and precision forging. If you would like to customize hydraulic presses, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Toggle Frame: High-Force Specialist for Short Strokes
Structure: Heavy-duty enclosed frame (H-type or box-style) supporting a mechanical lever (toggle) system.
Key Advantages:
✓ Massive mechanical force amplification
✓ Delivers peak force in minimal stroke lengthIdeal For: Riveting, coining, embossing, precision stamping, powdered material compaction.
Our Solution: TNB-WO Series (5-500 Tons) excels in high-force, short-stroke operations like coining and riveting.
Double-Column Frame: Stability Champion for High-Speed Stamping
Structure: Simplified H-frame variant with two symmetric columns supporting the crown.
Key Advantages:
✓ Superior rigidity & vibration damping vs. C-frames
✓ Enhanced precision for dynamic operationsIdeal For: Medium-tonnage precision stamping, high-speed progressive dies.
Gantry Frame: Open-Access Workhorse for Large Materials
Structure: Top beam + vertical supports, featuring an open front/back workspace (no lower crossbeam).
Key Advantages:
✓ Unrestricted material feeding (front, rear, or side access)
✓ Optimized for oversized workpiece handlingIdeal For: Large-sheet metal stamping, punching-shearing combos, bulky part processing.
- Our Solution: TNB-HO Series Gantry Frame 45-660Tons
Straight-Wall / H-Frame: Heavy-Duty Performer for Demanding Forming
Structure: Two vertical “walls” + crown + bed forming a rigid rectangle.
Key Advantages:
✓ High rigidity & large bed area
✓ Resists deflection under off-center loadsIdeal For: Automotive body panels, deep drawing, precision blanking.
- Our Solution: TNC-RO Series 110-1000Tons and TNC-TD/FD Series 400-4000Tons
Single-Column / C-Frame: Compact Flexibility for Light Operations
Structure: Single rear column with overhanging slide (C-shaped profile).
Key Advantages:
✓ 3-sided open access for easy loading
✓ Space-efficient footprintIdeal For: Bending, punching, shallow drawing in small/medium tonnages.
- Our Solution: NB-EX Series Servo Press, TP-EX Series Pneumatic Press, TP-RX Series 110-400Tons
