Press Machine - Receding Head Cutting Press

This manual receding head press machine is the number 1 best selling model in the UK. 

With outstanding versatility, this receding head die cutting press is ideal for cutting components large or small, from sheets or rolls, in single or multi layers, using all types of tooling – strip steel, wood forme or forged steel. 

Unlike the fixed beam cutting press, there is no work tray to push and pull. Instead, the cutting head is motor driven forwards and backwards to reveal the cutting area so that perfect access and visibility are assured.  Additionally, because the bed is fixed, the process of feeding material becomes much easier with no possibility of the material layers being disturbed. 

Receding press machines are extremely easy to operate, the operator places the cutting tool on the material, the head travels forward, down, and retracts to reveal the cut components.  A variety of feed systems can be specified to enhance productivity even further.  The cutting tool can be used to cut downwards, or upwards, and can also be clamped to the head when required. 

The press body is so rigid that the machine can be specified with a precision hardened and ground steel plate and mechanical depth stops for steel to steel cutting.
