Introduction to Progressive Die Operations
Progressive die operations play a vital role in modern metal stamping and manufacturing industries. These operations involve a series of stamping stations arranged in a single die set, allowing sheet metal to be progressively punched, formed, and cut in a continuous sequence. For industries relying on high-volume, high-precision production—like automotive, electrical, and appliance manufacturing—progressive die stamping offers unmatched efficiency and consistency.

At the heart of this complex process lies the press machine. Among the various types of mechanical presses available, the Two Point Ungeared Press from Mankoo stands out as a highly reliable and robust choice. With superior engineering, precision manufacturing, and a deep understanding of user requirements, Mankoo’s Two Point Ungeared Press has become the backbone of progressive die operations across India and beyond.
What is a Two Point Ungeared Press?
A Two Point Ungeared Press is a mechanical power press that features two main drive points or connections between the slide and the crankshaft. This configuration helps distribute force evenly across the slide, minimizing deflection and enabling the machine to handle wide and complex dies with accuracy. Unlike geared presses, ungeared presses offer direct drive from the flywheel, resulting in higher speeds and better energy efficiency.
Mankoo’s Two Point Ungeared Press Machine is designed to deliver continuous and consistent strokes, making it an ideal choice for operations involving progressive dies. The simplicity of its drive system, combined with Mankoo’s legendary build quality, makes this machine a long-term investment for manufacturers focused on speed, reliability, and low maintenance.
Key Advantages of Mankoo’s Two Point Ungeared Press
1. Uniform Force Distribution
One of the major strengths of Mankoo’s Two Point Ungeared Press is its ability to distribute force evenly during stamping operations. The two-point slide connection reduces angular movement and minimizes off-center loading. This ensures a uniform force application across wide dies, which is essential in progressive die stamping where multiple operations take place simultaneously on a large sheet of metal.
2. High Speed Operation
Mankoo’s ungeared press operates at high stroke rates, making it ideal for mass production environments. The direct drive from the flywheel eliminates the need for intermediate gears, reducing energy loss and allowing faster stroke cycles. For industries where speed directly impacts productivity and profitability, this machine provides a significant edge.
3. Durability and Rigid Construction
Every Mankoo press is built to last. The Two Point Ungeared Press features a rigid, high-grade steel frame that absorbs vibrations and prevents frame deflection. This robust construction ensures consistent performance even under heavy-duty operations. Progressive die setups demand machine rigidity for precision alignment, and Mankoo delivers on this front without compromise.
4. Versatile and Compatible with Complex Dies
Progressive die operations often involve intricate dies that perform multiple tasks like piercing, bending, and cutting. Mankoo’s Two Point Ungeared Press accommodates a wide variety of die sizes and shapes thanks to its large bed area and robust slide structure. Whether you're producing automobile body parts or intricate metal brackets, this machine handles the workload smoothly.
5. Low Maintenance and Easy Operation
With fewer moving parts compared to geared presses, Mankoo’s ungeared models are easier to maintain. The simplified drive mechanism means less wear and tear and fewer chances of component failure. Moreover, the user-friendly interface and accessible maintenance points make the press operator’s job safer and more efficient.
6. Precision and Repeatability
The true value of a press machine in progressive die operations lies in its repeatable precision. Mankoo ensures tight manufacturing tolerances and integrates features like centralized lubrication systems, slide adjustment mechanisms, and overload protection systems to maintain operational accuracy over time. This results in consistently high-quality output with minimal rejection rates.
Applications of the Two Point Ungeared Press in Industry
Mankoo’s Two Point Ungeared Press finds applications in various industries that demand high-volume metal forming. In the automotive sector, it is used for producing components like engine mounts, brackets, reinforcement plates, and body panels. Electrical and electronics manufacturers use it for stamping switchgear parts, terminal strips, and connectors. The appliance and hardware industries also rely on this press to form sheet metal enclosures, hinges, and other precision components.
