KOMATSU PRESS

HISTORY, TECHNOLOGY & SERVICE 

This profile and subsequent chart are intended to provide a high level overview of press providers. The intent is to educate users of all type of presses on the options you have when selecting your next, stamping, forming, mechanical, hydraulic or forge press.

KOMATSU: Komatsu Press Division was founded in Japan in 1924 and is the second largest press builder in Japan. Like Aida, Komatsu focused on quality and innovation and introduced the eccentric drive with plunger guided slide. Sutherland has adopted an improved the eccentric drive with double pitman and plunger guided slide in our EHW Series line of two point straight sides.  We do recognize Komatsu for quality products, but they seem to be most focused on the servo press technology which only fits a small portion of the industry’s needs.
