H Type Mechanical Press EHEP-CB400: 400 Ton Straight-Side Power for High-Volume Stamping

When thousands of identical parts must leave your line every day, a stamping press has to be stiff, fast and utterly repeatable. The EHEP-CB400 H type mechanical press by Elmalı Machinery is built for exactly that. With a heavy welded H frame, 400 tons of pressing force and a design ready for coil feeding, it gives automotive, white goods and general metal stamping plants the power and stability to run demanding dies at production speed.

Quick Product Facts

• Product: H Type Mechanical Press
• Model: EHEP-CB400
• Capacity: 400 tons, approximately 3.9 MN of pressing force
• Type: H frame (straight-side) mechanical eccentric power press
• Manufacturer: Elmalı Machinery
• Export focus: Machines supplied for demanding markets such as Germany and the USA
• Typical work: Blanking, punching, bending and forming with progressive and transfer dies

What Is an H Type Mechanical Press?

An H type press, also called a straight-side press, has a frame with two uprights on each side that form the shape of the letter H. This closed structure resists deflection far better than an open C frame, which keeps the slide parallel to the bolster even under heavy off-center loads. The result is accurate parts, longer die life and stable quality over millions of strokes.

The mechanical drive makes it fast. A motor keeps a heavy flywheel spinning, a clutch engages it when the cycle starts, and a crank or eccentric mechanism converts the rotation into a powerful vertical stroke. Peak force is available near the bottom of the stroke, exactly where blanking and punching need it.

Key Features and Benefits

• Rigid welded H frame with strong uprights and wide working area for large dies
• Full 400-ton capacity for thick material, long cutting lengths and multi-station tools
• Accurate slide guiding for tight punch-to-die clearance and clean part edges
• Large bolster and generous openings for easy die changes and material flow
• Fast, repeatable cycles that keep progressive and transfer production efficient
• Feeder-ready design that connects with coil feeding and straightening lines
• Safety systems and guarding specified for the application and local requirements

Built to Work with Automation

The press in the product image is shown together with a coil feeding unit at its side and a handling rail above the structure. This is how modern stamping lines work: coil is unrolled, straightened and fed into the die with exact length, then the press stamps it in sync with the feeder. Servo feeders, straighteners, transfer systems and CNC or PLC controls can be integrated so that the whole line runs as one coordinated system, with minimal operator intervention.

Applications of a 400 Ton H Type Press

• Automotive brackets, reinforcements and structural stampings
• White goods and appliance housings and panels
• Electrical enclosures, switchgear parts and cable trays
• Hardware, fasteners and general metal components
• Agricultural, construction and mining machinery parts
• Heavy blanking and punching of thick sheet

In every case the goal is the same: the maximum number of good parts per hour with the minimum of scrap, downtime and die wear.

Why Choose 400 Tons?

Four hundred tons is a sweet spot for serial production. It is large enough for wide, multi-station dies and thicker materials, yet still compact and economical to run. Many manufacturers choose this capacity to cover today’s parts and still keep headroom for tomorrow’s new projects, so the press is never operating at its limit.

Engineered for Demanding Export Markets

The EHEP-CB400 is offered for customers in countries such as Germany and the USA, where expectations for safety, documentation and build quality are high. Elmalı Machinery has supplied presses to more than 100 countries and designs each machine around the customer’s tooling, automation and operating standards. Discuss your local safety and certification requirements early, so the press is specified correctly from the start.

Why Elmalı Machinery?

Elmalı Machinery designs and manufactures industrial production presses with capacities from 25 up to 7000 tons, including eccentric presses, punch presses and hydraulic presses. We do not build workshop-type or manual presses. Every machine is purpose-built for industrial production lines, engineered around tooling structure, automation, durability and long-term operating efficiency.

How to Choose the Right Mechanical Press

• Part material, thickness and cutting length to determine tonnage
• Bolster size, stroke and shut height for your dies
• Strokes per minute and the production rate you need
• Feeding, straightening and transfer requirements
• Safety standards and control level for your market

Maintenance for a Long Service Life

Regular lubrication, checks of the clutch and brake, inspection of slide gibs and bolts, and a clean working area keep a mechanical press accurate for decades. A simple preventive maintenance plan from the first day protects your investment and avoids unplanned stops.
