Two main machines stamp metal parts in factories: Mechanical Presses (old-school) and Servo Presses (high-tech).
Mechanical Press: Good for “brute force” tasks, like stamping thick metal sheets or simple parts.
Servo Press: Perfect for “precision work,” like smartphone components or medical devices. Plus, it saves energy!
How it works:
Uses a heavy flywheel that spins non-stop. Even when idle, it wastes energy!
Downsides:
Fixed speed (one rhythm only).
Noisy (like a tractor) and less precise (error ≈ thickness of a human hair).
How it works:
Uses a motor to control the stamping action directly. Starts/stops instantly—no energy waste!
Pros:
Super precise (error ≈ 1/10th of a hair’s thickness).
Saves 30-60% on electricity—cuts yearly bills by thousands!
Feature | Servo Presses | Mechanical Presses |
|---|---|---|
Precision |

Speed |
Adjustable (fast/slow, programmable) |
Fixed speed (one setting) |
Energy Use |
Efficient (no power waste) |
Wastes energy (flywheel spins non-stop) |
Noise |
Quiet (like an AC) |
Loud (like a drill) |
Price |
Expensive (saves money long-term) |
Cheap (budget-friendly) |
You make precision parts (electronics, medical tools).
You want to save on electricity (it pays off in 2-3 years).
You need flexibility (frequent mold changes or adjustments).
You do simple jobs (cutting metal sheets, basic stamping).
You’re on a tight budget.
Energy costs are low in your area.
No! Modern servo presses (e.g., 300-ton models) are as strong as mechanical ones but with precise control.
Not yet! They’re still cost-effective for simple tasks, but servo is taking over precision industries.
Easier! No clutch or brake parts to replace—lower maintenance costs.
