Mechanical presses are one of the key equipment for stamping, forming and other metal processing processes. According to the number of pressure points, mechanical presses can be divided into three types: single-point, two-point and four-point. Each type has its own unique structural characteristics, advantages and disadvantages, and specific application scenarios.

The design of a single-point mechanical press is relatively simple, with only one centralized pressure point. The main structure of this press includes a main frame, a pressure head and a base, and all pressure is concentrated at one point. Since there is only one pressure point, the design and manufacturing are relatively simple. Relatively low manufacturing and maintenance costs. Suitable for handling small, simple stamping and forming tasks. However, uneven pressure distribution at a single point may cause deformation or defects in the workpiece. And it is not suitable for handling large-sized or complex-shaped workpieces.

The two-point mechanical press is designed with two independent pressure points, usually distributed in two different locations, which can provide a more uniform pressure distribution. The two pressure points make the pressure distribution on the workpiece more uniform. It can handle medium-sized workpieces, which are larger and more complex than those handled by a single-point press. There are more components than the single-point mechanical press, and the manufacturing and maintenance costs are higher.

The four-point mechanical press has four pressure points, which are usually distributed at the four corners of the workpiece. This design makes the pressure distribution more uniform and is suitable for processing large or complex-shaped workpieces. The four pressure points effectively reduce the deformation problem caused by local pressure concentration. It can handle larger and more complex workpieces and has a wide range of applications. The difficulty of manufacturing and maintenance increases, and the cost is also the highest.

Single-point mechanical presses are often used to manufacture small metal parts, such as small gears, gaskets, etc., and are suitable for simple stamping tasks. Two-point mechanical presses are suitable for stamping medium-sized workpieces, such as the production of automotive parts, complex metal sheet forming, etc. Four-point mechanical presses are usually used for the manufacture of large and complex workpieces, such as large automotive body panels, complex molds and equipment parts, etc.
