TECHNICAL OVERVIEW
The MHS-SV Series Straight Sided Servo Hydraulic Press is engineered for high-tonnage forming applications where frame deflection, slide misalignment, and inconsistent force delivery cannot be tolerated. Unlike open-frame or 4-post designs, the straight sided box-type H-frame structure creates a rigid, closed-loop load path that significantly reduces structural stretch under load. This rigidity is essential in deep drawing, progressive die forming, structural automotive stamping, and large platen applications where dimensional accuracy must be maintained throughout the entire stroke.
The integration of servo motor pump technology allows complete control over slide velocity, acceleration, deceleration, and dwell time. This programmable motion control improves material flow during deep draw cycles, supports forming of advanced high-strength steels (AHSS), and ensures consistent pressure holding during compression molding operations. The result is improved part consistency, reduced die wear, and enhanced repeatability across production runs.
In high-tonnage environments, structural stability directly impacts part quality and die life. The MHS-SV is specifically built to handle heavy loads while maintaining slide parallelism and bed alignment under demanding production conditions.
Key advantages include:
The box-frame straight sided structure minimizes deflection under high forming loads.
Servo-controlled motion allows programmable approach speed, forming speed, and dwell timing.
Consistent slide guidance improves dimensional accuracy and part repeatability.
Structural rigidity extends die life and reduces maintenance frequency.
Stable forming improves material flow during deep drawing of AHSS and aluminum alloys.
A straight sided hydraulic press is selected when an application requires maximum structural integrity, superior guidance, and high resistance to off-center loading. The MHS-SV Series utilizes a heavy-duty H-frame configuration combined with 8-point full-length gib guidance to ensure the slide remains precisely aligned throughout the entire stroke, even under eccentric load conditions. This makes the straight sided design ideal for progressive dies, transfer systems, structural automotive components, and applications involving large tooling or asymmetrical part geometry.
Compared to 4-post column presses, the straight sided h frame press design offers greater resistance to lateral deflection and torsional movement. This is especially important in high-tonnage forming operations where uneven loads can compromise accuracy and increase tool wear. The reinforced side housings and guided slide assembly maintain consistent alignment between the slide and bed, ensuring stable forming conditions across the full working area.
The straight sided frame is also well suited for automated production environments, where robotic transfer systems, pass-through conveyors, and quick die change systems must integrate seamlessly into the press structure.
The straight sided and h frame press design provides:
Increased structural rigidity compared to column-style presses.
Improved performance under eccentric or off-center loading.
Enhanced compatibility with progressive and transfer dies.
Better slide-to-bed alignment for tight tolerance forming.
Greater long-term stability in high-production applications.
The MHS-SV Straight Sided Servo Hydraulic Press combines heavy-duty structural engineering with advanced servo-driven control technology to deliver consistent performance across demanding production environments. The machine’s box-type frame construction is designed to withstand high loads without excessive stretch, while the 8-point square gib guidance system provides full-length slide support for accurate ram positioning and repeatable forming precision.
The servo pump drive system eliminates constant motor idling and enables programmable motion control, allowing operators to optimize speed and force profiles based on the specific material and tooling requirements. Active parallelism control ensures that the slide remains level relative to the bed even during asymmetrical forming operations, improving dimensional accuracy and reducing scrap rates.
The integrated Safety PLC and HMI interface provides full visibility into stroke position, pressure curves, dwell timing, and recipe management. Operators can store and recall pre-set forming parameters to minimize setup time and ensure “first part good” production consistency.

Frequently Asked Questions About Straight Sided Servo Hydraulic Presses
The primary advantage of a straight sided (H-frame) servo hydraulic press is structural rigidity. The closed box-frame design significantly reduces frame stretch and deflection under high loads compared to 4-post column presses. This rigidity becomes critical in high-tonnage forming, progressive die work, transfer systems, and applications where tight tolerances must be maintained across the entire stroke.
In addition, the 8-point gib guidance system provides full-length slide support, improving alignment and allowing the press to handle off-center (eccentric) loading more effectively than a column-style press. For high-production structural forming environments, this results in improved dimensional stability, reduced tool wear, and better repeatability.
Key advantages include:
Greater resistance to frame deflection under load
Improved handling of off-center forming forces
Better slide-to-bed alignment for tight tolerance parts
Enhanced suitability for progressive and transfer dies
Increased long-term structural stability in production environments
In many forming applications, a straight sided servo hydraulic press can replace a mechanical press, particularly where controlled material flow and full-stroke tonnage are more important than high strokes-per-minute speed. Unlike mechanical presses that deliver peak tonnage only at the bottom of the stroke, the MHS-SV provides full tonnage at any point in the stroke and allows programmable speed and dwell control.
This makes the MHS-SV especially effective for deep drawing, forming of advanced high-strength steels (AHSS), aluminum structural parts, and composite compression molding operations where material flow must be carefully managed.
However, for ultra-high-speed blanking operations, a mechanical press may still be preferred.
The MHS-SV is ideal when you need:
Full tonnage throughout the stroke
Programmable dwell and pressure holding
Reduced tearing and wrinkling in deep draw cycles
Greater flexibility across multiple part types
Improved forming control over raw speed
Traditional hydraulic systems operate at a constant speed and rely on throttling valves to control motion. The servo motor pump system used in the MHS-SV allows direct control over slide velocity, acceleration, and pressure output. This enables operators to program a fast approach speed, slow forming speed during material deformation, and precise dwell timing to stabilize the draw.
This level of control improves material flow, reduces part thinning, minimizes wrinkling, and can often eliminate secondary operations such as annealing between draws. The improved pressure consistency also contributes to better surface finish and dimensional repeatability.
