Industrial Machinery & Press Design

Hydraulic presses with automatic feeders, CNC cutting machines, custom mechanisms and structural guides designed from the duty specification to a release-ready drawing package — with the load calculations and Ansys FEA that a press frame or cutting gantry needs before anyone cuts steel.

What This Sector Needs

Heavy Loads, Repeatable Motion, Frames That Do Not Flex

Industrial machinery is defined by load paths: a press frame that deflects moves the die, a cutting gantry that vibrates ruins the edge. We design these machines with the structure as a first-class part of the mechanism — frames and bases sized with FEA for deflection, stress and natural frequency, drives and actuators sized to the duty cycle, and feed systems designed for the actual stock.

Delivered work includes a hydraulic press with automatic feeder, a CNC cutting machine, custom mechanisms and structural guide systems, each with GA, detail and BOM drawings and the calculation records to support the manufacturer's technical file.

  • Press frame, bolster and ram design with FEA for deflection and fatigue
  • Feeders, transfer and material-handling modules sized for stock and rate
  • Cutting machine structures, gantries and axis mounts with modal checks
  • Hydraulic and pneumatic actuation layouts and drive sizing
  • Guarding, access and maintenance clearances to ISO 12100 / ANSI B11.0 principles
  • Manufacturing packages: machined parts, weldments, sheet metal and bought-out BOM
