Stamping automotive body panels and large structural components? Heavy duty press machines (800T-3200T) deliver the power and precision needed for automotive body-in-white manufacturing.

Automotive Body Panel Requirements

Body panel stamping presents unique challenges:

• Large surface area: Doors, hoods, trunk lids, fenders
• Complex geometry: Deep draws, multiple bends, intricate shapes
• Surface quality: Class A surface for exterior panels
• Dimensional accuracy: ±0.5mm for proper fit and assembly
• Material utilization: Optimize nesting for expensive sheet steel

Heavy Duty Press Types

1. Single Point Press (800T-1500T)

• Best for: Smaller body panels, brackets, structural parts
• Table size: Up to 2500mm x 1500mm
• Speed: 20-40 SPM

2. Double Point Press (1000T-2000T)

• Best for: Medium body panels, door inners, roof panels
• Table size: Up to 3500mm x 2000mm
• Speed: 15-30 SPM

3. Four Point Press (1500T-3200T)

• Best for: Large body panels, side panels, floor pans
• Table size: Up to 5000mm x 2500mm
• Speed: 12-25 SPM

4. Transfer Press Systems (2000T-3200T)

• Best for: Complete panel production lines
• Stations: 4-6 progressive stations
• Speed: 15-25 SPM complete part
