Press
Presses
shape workpieces without cutting away material,
that is, without making chips. A press consists
of a frame supporting a stationary bed,
a ram, a power source, and a mechanism that
moves the ram in line with or at right angles
to the bed. Presses are equipped with dies
and punches designed for such operations
as forming, punching, and shearing. Presses
are capable of rapid production because
the operation time is that needed for only
one stroke of the ram.
