The AIDA® NC series single and double crank gap frame presses are probably the most imitated stamping presses in production today. Why? Because they work hard day in and day out. This is a result of superior engineering and components drawn from our industry-leading PMX straight-side presses, things cosmetic imitations simply lack. It begins with a welded steel frame, cast iron slide, and a cast steel bolster to provide angular deflection which can be as little as 1/3 of competitive models for increased accuracy and die life. Add HOLP, the worlds’ fastest hydraulic overload protection system ... a standard wet clutch ... precision cut gears with hardened and ground pinions ... motorized slide adjustment … and the result is a press that delivers outstanding performance and unmatched reliability. AIDA NC gap-frame presses routinely perform progressive and transfer press die work normally reserved for straight-side presses, at a substantial savings.  DOWNLOAD: DATA SHEET:  NC_English_Spec_Sht.pdf 150 KB NC2 Gap Frame Press Features Two-point counter-rotating crank shaft system reduces side thrust Six-face slide gib structure minimizes front-to-back and left-to-right movement Fastest hydraulic overload protection system in the industry, HOLP Air actuated wet clutch and brake Minimal overall clearances to reduce the effects of breakthrough
