Stamtec 2-Point Gap Frame Press

High‑Capacity C‑Frame Presses for Long, Narrow, or Multi‑Station Tooling

The Stamtec G2 Series is a family of two‑point, C‑frame mechanical presses engineered for applications that require a longer bed, greater slide stability, and precise control across the entire working stroke. Designed for stamping long or narrow parts, or for progressive dies with multiple stations, the G2 Series delivers the rigidity and accuracy typically associated with straight‑side presses—at a more economical price point.

With models ranging from 110 to 300 tons, the G2 Series provides the bed size, slide stability, and forming accuracy needed for demanding production environments running blanks or coil stock, in single‑stroke or continuous modes.

Stamtec G2 Series – Two‑Point Gap Frame Mechanical Presses

Key Features & Advantages

Two‑Point Drive for Long, Narrow, or Multi‑Station Dies

The dual‑crank design distributes force evenly across the slide, making the G2 Series ideal for:

• Long, narrow stampings
• Progressive dies with multiple stations
• Applications requiring a larger die area
• Jobs where a straight‑side press would traditionally be required
• This design maintains slide parallelism and reduces deflection under load.

Ultra‑Rigid, Stress‑Relieved Steel Frame

The heavy, one‑piece welded steel frame is fully stress‑relieved to minimize deflection and maintain accuracy at full tonnage. This rigidity improves part quality and extends die life.

Six‑Point, Full‑Length Box‑Type Gibbing

Long, centered gibs guide the slide throughout the stroke, ensuring:

• Accurate slide alignment
• Reduced lateral thrust
• Stable operation under off‑center loads

This guidance system provides better control than rear‑mounted gibs.

High‑Torque Wet Clutch & Brake

The wet clutch and brake system delivers strong torque at lower air pressure, with low inertia and excellent heat dissipation. Benefits include:

• Reduced lining wear
• Lower air consumption
• Smooth, quiet operation
• Long service life

Fast‑Response Hydraulic Overload Protection

The overload system relieves excess tonnage in milliseconds and triggers an immediate stop to protect the press and tooling. It automatically re‑pressurizes when the slide is returned to top of stroke.

Unique Slide Knockout Capability

The removable slide plate allows easy integration of mechanical or pneumatic knockout devices, supporting a wide range of tooling requirements.

User‑Friendly Controls

Standard presses include a touchscreen control system with programmable limit switches, die protection inputs, counters, diagnostics, and multiple operating modes. Controls from major brands—including Allen‑Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Wintriss, and Link—are available.
