Press Systems Engineered for Inline Production Requirements

SAMCO offers press solutions for punching, notching, forming, and cut-off operations within roll forming environments. Press configuration can be matched to material, feature geometry, force, cycle rate, and line integration requirements.

Inline Processing Without Losing Sight of the Complete Line

Punching and cut-off requirements need to work in step with material flow and rollforming speed. SAMCO considers press function, timing, tooling, and controls as part of the broader production sequence so that secondary operations support the required output and part geometry.

Press Options for Different Production Requirements

SAMCO supports a range of press technologies that can be configured around the force, speed, motion, and application requirements of the line.

Hydraulic Presses

High-force press configurations suited to applications requiring controlled hydraulic actuation.

Mechanical Presses

Mechanically driven press solutions for repeatable production requirements and application-specific cycle demands.

Air Presses

Pneumatic press solutions for suitable punching and forming applications where compact, responsive actuation is appropriate.

Open-Throat Presses

Accessible press configurations for applications that benefit from open-side loading or tooling access.

Rotary / Continuous Punching

Inline rotary solutions can support continuous punching or lancing patterns at higher line speeds for suitable light-gauge applications.

Programmable Punching 
for Variable Hole Patterns

SAMCO’s Punch Anywhere™ Press System is designed for custom hole patterning in roll forming applications. It can be retrofitted to rollforming lines and configured to place programmed holes on the web or flange, giving manufacturers greater flexibility where hole locations vary by product or order.

Programmable Patterning

Hole locations can be controlled from production data rather than fixed to one repeating pattern.

Retrofit Potential

The system can be applied to existing rollforming lines where the equipment and application are suitable.

Integrated Production

Punching is coordinated with the moving strip and broader line sequence to support inline processing.

Selecting the Press Around the Operation

Press selection depends on the feature being created as well as how that operation needs to fit into the line. Material strength, thickness, hole or form geometry, required force, line speed, and pattern variability all influence the recommended configuration.

Material properties and thickness influence required force and tooling design.

Hole, notch, embossment, form, or cut-off geometry determines press and die requirements.

Production speed influences press actuation, synchronization, and whether continuous or indexed processing is appropriate.

Fixed repeating patterns and variable order-driven patterns may call for different press and control approaches.
