Production Spotlight: 35-Ton Four Post Servo Press Entering Assembly For Ohio Precision Stamping Manufacturer

MetalPress Machinery

It all Starts With a Question

A few months ago, a precision metal stamping company in Ohio reached out through our website. Their message was short but urgent: We need a high-speed press that can handle trim dies with minimal downtime.

They had been browsing our site, reading about the MTP-SV Series 4 Post Servo Hydraulic Press, and watching videos of machines in action. Now they were ready to talk.

Listening First: Understanding the Customer’s Workflow

Within hours, our sales engineer Luke was on the phone with their plant manager. No pitch, just questions.

  • What materials are you stamping?

  • How often do you change dies?

  • What is your current press struggling with?

The answer: they were losing hours each week to manual die setup and inconsistent ram positioning. Their current press couldn’t keep up with the precision and speed they needed.

Engineering the Right Solution

That’s when our technical team stepped in. We reviewed their specs and proposed a tailored configuration of our MTP-SV Series 4 Post Servo Press—a 35-ton model designed for high-speed, high-precision stamping.

Key Features We Recommended:

✅ Digital Micropulse Transducer for ultra-precise ram positioning

✅ Hydraulic Center Ejection to support complex trim dies

✅ Advanced Safety PLC + HMI Touchscreen for intuitive control and fast die recipe recall

✅ Automatic Tie Bar Lubrication to reduce maintenance and extend press life

✅ Servo Hydraulic System for energy-efficient, programmable motion control

We also discussed optional upgrades like robot interface I/Os, Industry 4.0 remote monitoring, and custom die height settings.

Into the Workshop: Building the Machine

Once the specs were approved, our production team got to work.

Fabrication & Assembly

  • The 4-post frame was welded and stress-relieved to ensure long-term durability and structural integrity.
  • The servo hydraulic system was assembled using high-efficiency pumps, precision valves, and vibration-dampening mounts.
  • The control cabinet was wired with a custom HMI layout, tailored to the customer’s workflow.
  • Safety light curtains and interlocks were installed and tested to meet UL and CSA standards.

Testing Phase: Servo Hydraulic System

As of this week, the MTP-SV Series 4 Post Servo Hydraulic Press is entering its final stage of production—a phase where every detail is scrutinized, every system is tested, and every component is polished to perfection.

Our technicians ran the servo hydraulic system through a series of test cycles. These include:

  • Ram stroke calibration using the digital micropulse transducer

  • Pressure ramping tests to validate the hydraulic pump’s response curve

  • Cycle time simulations based on the customer’s die change frequency

  • Emergency stop and safety interlock validation to meet CE and CSA standards

Each cycle is logged and reviewed by our quality control team. The goal: verify that the press delivers repeatable precision, energy-efficient motion, and safe operation under real-world conditions.

Nearing Completion: Final Touches

Final Coating & Surface Prep

The press has received its final coat of industrial-grade polyurethane paint, formulated to resist corrosion, oil, and high-temperature environments. The color was selected to match the customer’s factory branding, and the surface was prepped with a multi-stage cleaning and priming process to ensure long-term adhesion and durability.

Final Quality Assurance & Documentation

Before shipment, the press undergoes a comprehensive multi-point inspection:

  • Frame alignment and tie bar tension

  • Hydraulic fluid levels and leak detection

  • Electrical continuity and PLC logic verification

  • Safety light curtain response time

  • HMI interface usability and recipe loading

All findings are documented in the customer’s machine dossier, which includes:

  • Calibration certificates

  • Wiring diagrams

  • Maintenance schedule

  • Operator manual

  • UL and CSA compliance declaration

Ready for Shipment: Secured and Scheduled

With final testing complete and quality assurance signed off, the MTP-SV Series 4 Post Servo Hydraulic Press is officially ready for shipment. Our logistics team has carefully prepared the machine for transport—reinforcing key components with industrial-grade padding, securing the press to a custom-built steel pallet, and wrapping the entire unit in moisture-resistant protective film. The control cabinet and accessories are boxed separately, labeled, and loaded alongside the main frame. A flatbed truck has been scheduled for pickup, and the delivery route has been optimized to ensure safe, on-time arrival at the customer’s facility in Ohio. From workshop to warehouse, every step is tracked and documented—because precision doesn’t stop at the factory door.
