There are two types of fineblanking presses: hydraulic and mechanical. Most fineblanking presses are hydraulic presses. Some smaller presses (up to 250 tons) are mechanical and all of the larger presses (over 250 tons) are hydraulic. The mechanical presses use a link system to generate the blanking pressure and hydraulics to create stinger pressure and counter pressure. The hydraulic presses use hydraulic pressure for all three motions.
