Common frame designs include C-frame, four-post, precision guided, and other specialty configurations. The best frame depends on the part size, load requirements, access needs, and how much rigidity the application demands.

C-Frame: Shaped like a “C,” which leaves three sides accessible for easy material feeding and smaller parts.

Column Press: Provides the highest level of rigidity and uniform pressure distribution, ideal for precise molding or large dies four sided accessibility..

Precision Guided: a strong fit for off-center loads, close-tolerance dies, progressive dies, and production work where repeatable alignment is critical.
