C-Frame Hydraulic Presses for Forming & Pressing: 60–150 Ton
The FHP series is a C-frame (gap frame) hydraulic press for sheet metal forming from 60 to 150 tons. The open front gives three-sided access to the die area for fast die changes and part handling, and the rigid welded frame keeps deflection low at full tonnage. An optional hydraulic die cushion adds deep drawing capability.
Single-action forming, pressing and shallow draw work
In single-action operation the ram alone forms, presses and shallow-draws the part in one stroke, with no separate blank holder force. This covers pressing, forming and shallow draws at a lower investment than the cushioned version below.
Die cushion for controlled deep drawing
The optional hydraulic die cushion adds a second circuit under the bolster: it powers the blank holder, which clamps the sheet and controls material flow while the ram draws the part into the die. That is what makes deeper, more complex draws possible without wrinkling or tearing. Cushion tonnage, stroke and speed are programmed on the HMI alongside the ram parameters.
Standard Equipment
Control & operation
- •HMI / PLC control with touchscreen; control platform to customer specification (e.g. Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Beckhoff)

Technical Specifications
All dimensions and specs below are for the base FHP model. Cushion-related rows apply when the optional hydraulic die cushion is specified. Tonnage is rated in metric tons (1 metric ton = 1.1 US tons).
