Used Gap Frame Presses

There are various types of gap frame presses and Alma Machinery are experts in just about every variation. The most popular types are OBI mechanical gap frame presses, mechanical double crank gap frame presses and hydraulic gap frame presses. They are often called C-frame presses because the frame looks like the letter "C". Gap frame presses let the operator or automation load the machine from 3 sides, which makes them useful and easy to move from job to job.

Mechanical or Hydraulic Gap Frame Press?

OBI (open back inclinable) presses are mechanical gap frame presses built for fast, repeatable blanking, piercing and forming. The open back and inclinable frame let parts and scrap fall clear but can be stood straight up and used as a single point press. Ideal for high volume and accurate pressing jobs.

Double crank gap frame presses add a second connection for a wider bed left to right, so they handle progressive dies and longer parts while keeping three-sided access.

C-frame hydraulic presses trade speed for flexibility: stroke length, tonnage and dwell are adjustable, which suits assembly, pressing, straightening and forming work.
