C-Frame Press
DOUBLE CRANK SERVO PRESS - SERVO MECHANICAL PRESS
C-FRAME PRESS
Our MDC-SV Series C-Frame Double Crank Servo Press is engineered to deliver exceptional precision, energy efficiency, and flexibility for modern stamping and forming operations. Built on a robust C-frame structure with a double-crank drive system, it ensures stable force distribution and superior accuracy throughout the stroke. The advanced servo motor drive offers fully programmable slide motion, allowing operators to optimize speed, stroke, and dwell for each application — from high-speed blanking to deep drawing. Combining rigid construction, servo technology, and customizable performance, the MDC-SV Series C-Frame Press is ideal for manufacturers in the automotive, appliance, aerospace, and general metalworking industries seeking reliability, efficiency, and consistent part quality.
9 STAMPING MODES
Take Full Control
This C-Frame Servo Press is equipped with nine built-in stamping modes, allowing operators to choose the ideal motion curve for each application. This versatility ensures exceptional precision, higher efficiency, and optimized energy savings in every production cycle.
SERVO DRIVE SYSTEM
Greater Accuracy And Efficiency
Our C-Frame Servo Press system provides superior accuracy in the moving platen’s stopping position while delivering significant energy savings during every operation.
IMPROVED SERVICE LIFE
High Fequency Quenching
We use high-frequency quenching on our C-Frame Press slide guides, achieving hardness levels over HRC 48. Rail grinding precision is maintained above Ra 0.4, with an average flatness of 0.03 mm/m². The result is reduced wear, sustained precision, and an extended service life.
GET PARTS ANYWHERE
Open Source Control System
Our C-Frame Press control systems are built using open-source, readily available components. We never use custom-made OEM parts, ensuring easy maintenance and long-term reliability.
STRENGTH AND WEAR RESISTANCE
Bronze Worm Gear
In our C-Frame Press, bronze worm gears reduce the risk of seizure and make die adjustments smoother and more efficient. The bronze-copper alloy (ZQSN10-1) provides superior strength and durability, extending service life compared to traditional cast iron worm gears.
MORE STAMPING
Less Seizing
We use a sintered TM-3 copper alloy ball seat as opposed to cast iron. The TM-3 copper alloy has a surface strength of 1000 kgf/C m2. This alloy reduces the probability of seizure and at the same time extends the service life of this part.
LESS WEAR AND TEAR
Copper Sleeves
The all bronze-copper alloy sleeves are made of Tin, Phosphorus Bronze ZQSN10-1 and are about 1.5 times stronger then just copper BC6. The result is reduced wear.
STRONGER AND BIGGER
Hardened Crankshaft
Our C-Frame Presses crankshafts are made from high-strength 42CrMo alloy and designed larger than most for enhanced durability. Each crankshaft is forged, heat-treated, and flaw-inspected, achieving a strength 1.3 times higher than standard 45 steel and significantly reducing the risk of breakage.
HARDENED AND STRONGER
Chromium Plated Thimble
Our thimbles are chromium plated with a surface between RA 0.4 and RA 0.8. They are then hardened to HRC 48. This provides an excellent oil seal to ensure seal life.
LESS WEAR ON TOOTH SURFACES
Hardened Gear Shaft
The gear shaft is made of high strength 42CrMo alloy and all tooth surfaces are treated with intermediate frequency which increases hardness. The advantage of this is less wear on tooth surfaces and higher meshing precision.
IMPROVED SERVICE LIFE
High Frequency Quenched Gear Drive
We use high-frequency quenching on our C-Frame Servo Press gear drives, achieving hardness levels over HRC 48. Rail grinding precision is maintained above Ra 0.4, with an average flatness of 0.03 mm/m². The result is reduced wear, sustained precision, and a longer service life.
SAFETY LIGHT CURTAINS
Worker Safety Should Not Be An Option For A Press
We are very serious about worker safety. That is why all our presses include full size CAT4 safety light curtains as a standard feature. The light curtains work along with the other safety features to ensure worker safety at all times.
MORE OIL, LESS WEAR
Bigger Oil Piping
We use 8 mm diameter copper lubrication pipes to ensure proper lubrication on all critical points. The larger and higher gauge pipes reduce the possibility of breaking and ensure a constant flow of oil.
OPTIMIZED STRUCTURE
Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
Through SolidWorks finite element analysis (FEA) we optimize the press structure and refine the design for maximum performance.
HIGHEST RETURN ON INVESTMENT
We Give You More Press For Your Money.
To be competitive today’s economy requires that manufactures run their operations more efficiently and cost effectively than ever before. We offer the highest ROI (return on investment) in the industry. MetalPress gives you high-quality products for a reasonable investment and with more features than any other company. Simply put, we give you the most bang for your buck!
REMOTE SERVICE
We Can Remotely Troubleshoot Your Press from Our Facility.
Our C-Frame Double Crank Servo Presses include a Remote Connectivity Unit which allows our press technicians to remotely check the performance of the press, make any needed changes to the program or HMI, or to troubleshoot it directly from our service center. The customer is only required to connect the unit to the Internet via an Ethernet cable. We handle the rest.
HIGH QUALITY COMPONENTS
We Use Brand Name Components You Know, Already Use and Trust.
We use only the finest quality components that are open source, and readily available locally in your area, or from our online parts store. We do not use any impossible to find proprietary components.
INDUSTRY 4.0 REMOTE MONITORING
Remotely Monitor Your Stamping Press Performance From Any Device.
As an option, all our presses are available with Industry 4.0 remote performance monitoring units which feature a custom dashboard. You can not only monitor press performance, but you can be notified before an issue occurs. Included are condition based maintenance reminders and shift performance statistics. Minimize impact of emergencies and maximize press uptime, and productivity. Monitor what is going on with the stamping press and your production efficiency from any device, anywhere in the world.
