What are the different types of press machines?
Press machines are categorized in a few different ways. When described by motive force, press machines are available in hydraulic, pneumatic, electric or hand-operated styles. When describing their level of automatic functionality, presses can be configured to be fully automated, semi-automated or manual. Lastly, when describing their overall design, most presses are made to be vertical presses (with the actuating cylinder pressing down onto a fixed work deck), but sometimes custom horizontal, angled, mobile or multi-axis presses are produced as well.
