Choosing the right forging press is a key decision that affects production speed, part quality, and cost. Each type of press (mechanical, hydraulic, screw, and the newer servo-style press) operates differently, offering a unique set of strengths and weaknesses. This guide breaks down the four main types to help you understand how they work and which one is best for your needs.
