Pillar Press

A pillar press is a type of machine tool used for shaping and machining materials. It consists of a vertical column that supports a movable ram, which is driven by a hydraulic or mechanical system. The ram moves up and down to apply force to the workpiece, allowing for various operations such as drilling, punching, and forming.

Once again, it should come as no surprise that the name of this press frame style is derived directly from its ability to grant access to all four sides of a die area, primarily to ensure ease of automation. Die changes and easier loading and unloading enhance the flexibility of a four-column press, making them ideal for applications where quick change over times are needed along with automation.
