Sutherland Mechanical Press

For over 70 years Sutherland Mechanical Presses have been an industry leader. With model options up to 2500 tons,  these machines are built to exceed JIS First Class standards – the highest standard in the world for industrial machinery.

 

 

Double Point Straight Sides: Monoblock and tie-rod frame designs available; as well as a variety of drive systems: apex drive, single or double-gear drive, link motion and plunger-guided. Depending on your application double pitmans, back-to-front drive, or center drive with left-to-right crankshafts are available options. 

Single Point Straight Sides: For applications with small die areas and concentrated loads, there is a full range of Medium and Super Duty Steel Frames. By offering different frame designs Sutherland presses can be tailor-fit to your application, including single or double-geared drive systems and link motion drives.

High Speed Straight Sides: Model options up to 660 tons, with speeds as fast as 300 strokes per minute. Add Sutherland’s exclusive I-PRESS® Control AB Plus System and a high speed coil feed line to create a very powerful and highly productive fully automated stamping center.

Single Point Gap Frame: Stress-relieved steel frames, cast slide bodies, overcapacity drivetrains, and 6-point full length slide guides, these presses are built to provide decades of service. Unique features include: more tonnage and higher energy rating points combined with a keyed HOLP, motorized slide adjustment, on-the-fly variable-speed drives, continuous motor amp readout, a centralized maintenance center, and automatic lubrication systems.

Double Point Gap Frame: Incorporate counter-rotating double cranks to direct the tonnage energy of the press to the center of the slide and bolster. This innovative design focuses the press’s tonnage to where it is needed. When combined with a heavy-duty stress-relieved steel frame, cast slide body, and 6 full-length precision-machined slide guides, these presses can achieve a repeatable slide movement of +/- .001”.

KC Presses: . For single cycle manual jobs such as trim press applications, KC presses can be outfitted with a simple and safe push-button single-speed Omron control system, all at a low cost. For more complex jobs, KC presses can be upgraded with coil feed lines and I-Press Omron Control Systems, allowing for fully automatic high-volume stamping lines at variable speeds.
