Manual Flypress Sizes
These range from little jeweler's bench presses in size 0 and 1 such as the one above to large A-frame or double frame two man presses like the old Hopkins above.
Generally the open sided C-Frame fly presses are one man presses and the double or A-frame are two man presses.
One man presses start as little 75 pound (35 kg) half ton capacity presses and range up to 750 pound (340 kg) six ton capacity presses.
The smallest are used for blanking, bending, pressing and riveting small parts, the larger sizes can also be used for forging and draw forming.
Two man presses can be run by one operator but it is an inconvenience.
The handle distance and needed stroke are too great to do while standing in one position or holding work in the press.
These presses are heavy enough that to get the best advantage of them the wheel is operated two handed.
For many jobs this requires one person handling the work and another operating the press.

| Capacity:
The approximate rating of these presses is in tons by the number size for work performed in
.012 to .015" (0.3 to 0.4 mm) travel.
As the work distance increases the applied force decreases. Copyright © 2003 - 2008
