Stamping press

Stamping press:-

A stamping press is a metalworking machine tool used to shape or cut metal by deforming it with a die.

Components:
A press has a bolster plate, and a ram.

1.)Bolster plate-The bolster plate (or bed) is a large block of metal upon which the bottom portion of a die is clamped; the bolster plate is stationary.

2.)Ram-Stamping presses can be subdivided into mechanically driven presses and hydraulically driven presses. The most common mechanical presses use an eccentric drive to move the press's ram, whereas hydraulic cylinders are used in hydraulic presses. The nature of drive system determines the force progression during the ram's stroke.

3.)Other components
Typically, presses are electronically linked (with a programmable logic controller) to an automatic feeder which feeds metal raw material through the die.
