Product Gallery & Description

High‑Rigidity, High‑Accuracy Double‑Crank Presses for Progressive, Transfer, High‑Speed, and Heavy‑Duty Stamping

Stamtec’s 2‑Point Crank Shaft Straight Side Presses represent one of the most comprehensive and versatile lineups in the global metal stamping industry. Built on ultra‑rigid straight‑side frames and engineered for precision, stability, and long‑term durability, these presses deliver exceptional performance across a wide range of applications—from high‑speed lamination stamping to large‑format progressive dies, deep forming, and heavy‑tonnage transfer work.

Across six distinct series, Stamtec offers solutions tailored to every production requirement:

  • SC2 Series – Economical, long‑bed, progressive‑die capable
  • SLX Series – Link‑motion, large‑bed, deep‑forming precision
  • GTX Series – General‑purpose, rigid, double‑crank workhorse
  • HSD Series – High‑speed, high‑precision lamination stamping
  • S2 Series – Heavy‑duty, large‑bed, high‑tonnage straight‑side
  • PL2 Series – Premium link‑motion forming with advanced slide control

Each series is engineered with Stamtec’s signature focus on rigidity, accuracy, and long die life, supported by advanced controls, robust drivetrain systems, and industry‑leading hydraulic overload protection.

Why Choose a 2‑Point Straight Side Press?

Balanced Force Distribution

Two crankshafts distribute force evenly across the slide, making these presses ideal for:

  • Long, narrow dies
  • Multi‑station progressive dies
  • Large or wide tooling
  • Off‑center loading conditions

Superior Slide Guidance

Most series feature six‑ or eight‑point gibs, ensuring:

  • Precise slide alignment
  • Reduced lateral thrust
  • Improved part accuracy
  • Longer die life

Rigid Straight‑Side Frame

All models use heavy, stress‑relieved steel frames designed to minimize deflection and maintain accuracy at full tonnage.

Advanced Controls

Every series supports modern automation controls, including:

  • OmniLink 5100‑APC
  • Wintriss
  • Link
  • Allen‑Bradley
  • Siemens
  • Mitsubishi

Hydraulic Overload Protection

Fast‑response HOLP protects the press and tooling by relieving overload pressure in milliseconds.


Series Overview

SC2 Series – 2‑Point Straight Side Press

Economical, Long‑Bed, Progressive‑Die‑Ready

The SC2 Series is designed for stamping long, narrow parts or running progressive dies that require extended bed lengths. It offers a large die area at an economical price and is ideal for applications where a straight‑side press is needed but a heavier‑duty frame is not required.

Key Features

  • Heavy, stress‑relieved frame for low deflection
  • Optional link‑motion drive for reduced working‑stroke speed
  • Wet clutch & brake
  • Motorized slide adjustment
  • Digital die height indicator
  • Automatic lubrication system
  • Hydraulic overload protection

Best For

  • Long progressive dies
  • Medium‑tonnage applications
  • High single‑stroking rates
