Mechanical press ERFURT PKZZ I 500.1

The Erfurt PKZZ I 500.1 is a heavy-duty mechanical stamping press designed for high-capacity sheet metal forming operations. Manufactured in Germany by Erfurt, this press is built with a robust frame and proven mechanical drive system, ensuring reliability, precision, and long service life in demanding industrial environments.

With a nominal pressing force of 500 tons, the machine is suitable for a wide range of applications including blanking, deep drawing, forming, and heavy stamping processes. The press features a large working table and ram area, allowing processing of large-format components and complex tooling setups.

The machine is equipped with a slide stroke of up to 500 mm and adjustable ram settings, providing flexibility for various production requirements. Its operating speed  ensures efficient productivity while maintaining process stability.

A key feature of the PKZZ I 500.1 is the integrated hydraulic cushion (pillow system), delivering up to 100 tons of holding force and enabling precise control during deep drawing operations. The cushion stroke of 200 mm allows improved forming quality and reduces material deformation defects.

The press is constructed with a large bolster plate (approx. 2800 × 1500 mm) and generous distance between columns, ensuring excellent accessibility for tooling and workpiece handling. Its heavy weight guarantees high rigidity, minimal vibration, and consistent accuracy even under maximum load.

Thanks to its durable mechanical design and simple maintenance requirements, the Erfurt PKZZ I 500.1 remains a reliable solution for metal forming companies seeking a cost-effective and powerful press for medium to large-scale production.
