STAMTEC press vs. the competition’s press

• STAMTEC presses are constructed to meet or exceed machine tolerances established by JIS First Class Standards- typically, our tolerances are 1.5 - 2 times better than JIS First Class.
   
• STAMTEC presses are constructed of only the highest quality steel plate from reputable, stable suppliers, i.e. not purchased on the open market, to assure consistent, stable quality and supply. For steel thicker than 250mm, our steel is purchased from the best Japananese steel producers.
   
• STAMTEC utilizes low-deflection, rigid, precision machined frame components, constructed with deep-fillet, multiple-pass welding procedures for maximum durability.
   
• STAMTEC’s major stress components are built to 1.6 times capacity, among the best in the industry.
   
• STAMTEC’s standard bed/slide deflection is .0015”/ft. (exceeding the JIS First Class Standard of .0020”), and can be customized through engineering to achieve .0012”, .0010”, even .00075”. In addition, our deflection measurement is over the bed, without the bolster, where other press manufacturers measure with the bolster in place.
   
• STAMTEC’s robust drive trains and gears are manufactured in our own factories, to assure accurate machining, quality assurance, and the best lead times
   
• STAMTEC   utilizes durable, reliable clutches and brakes, manufactured in our own facilities , or specified from world-class press clutch/brake builders, with spare parts in stock. Clutch/brake lining blocks are from top Japanese suppliers (Not from Korea, like others)
   
• STAMTEC’s bushings are copper, and manufactured by a spin-casting mold process which uses centrifugal force to separate and isolate the impurities from the copper more completely than other casting methods. The result is a purer, more consistent bushing material.
   
• STAMTEC’s bearings are all supplied from top Japanese suppliers, e.g. SKF and NSK.
   
• STAMTEC offers a much more robust buttress thread for slide adjustment, to hold adjustment position better than an acme thread, and to contend with heavy stamping, shock and reverse load conditions.
   
• STAMTEC provides a removable slide plate on many models to permit future slide face machining, drilling, etc. without removing the entire slide
   
• STAMTEC presses are manufactured by our own employees in our own factories, and are known worldwide for quality, reliability, and proven performance.
   
• STAMTEC’s overall mass and dimensions of major components are generally greater than most press builders, with many components built to 1.6 times capacity.
   
• STAMTEC’s oil seals are sourced only from top Japanese manufacturers.
   
• STAMTEC uses only using top Japanese brand bearings.
   
• STAMTEC uses only Omron Japan electrical relays, not China & Malaysia made, for the best in reliability and longer life.
