Warm / Hot and Cold Forging Presses
Stamtec is one of the few companies that manufacture forging presses. Our presses play an important role in a wide range of industries, including:
- Industrial
- Automotive
- Aerospace
- Hardware
- Military
- Appliance
- Medical
Parts made with our well-established, proven forging technology include hand tools, small gears, automotive shafts and steering components, bearing housings and connecting rods.
Stamtec forging presses are available in a 220 to 4,000 tonnage range.
Our cold and warm-hot forging presses can reduce material waste between 40% and 60%, making this technology one of the most economical methods for manufacturing high precision parts.
Our forging presses also offer:
- Near-net shapes
- Higher productivity
- Good surface quality
- Superior plasticity
- Better mechanical characteristics
Cold forging presses manufacture stronger parts because the material is strain-hardened on a molecular level during the forging process, while hot-warm presses create parts that couldn’t be made otherwise, thanks to the softened steel used in the process.
All our forging presses offer a high rigidity frame and tie rods for maximum durability.
Our cold forging presses are equipped with knuckle joint drive systems, which can alter the motion velocity of the press slide to a slow speed as it approaches the bottom dead-end center point.
Our hot-warm forging presses run on oversize eccentric shafts, which provide more accuracy and higher rigidity than eccentric gears or crankshafts.
We offer a complete range of peripheral equipment, including transfer systems, feeders and knock-out devices, to create a fully automated press line. Stamtec also provides full product management through installation as well as complete aftermarket support from our U.S.-based facility.

Forging Press FAQ
What types of drive systems are employed in your forging presses?
We employ knuckle joint or heavy, oversized eccentric drive systems in our forging presses.
Why should I consider a forging press instead of a stamping press?
Forging presses are ideal for producing near net-shaped parts, finished single-hit parts or parts that requires extreme force and rigidity.
Do you have cold forging and warm-hot forging presses?
Yes. We carry both cold and warm-hot forging presses. In fact, we are one of the few major press manufacturers that offer forging presses.
