HF-Series Fine Blanking Press Comparison

The HS-FINEB HF-series comprises nine fine blanking press models spanning 200T to 1200T blanking force. All models share the same triple-force hydraulic architecture (V-ring impingement + counter-pressure + blanking force), CNC controller with programmable force profiles, whole-welded stress-relieved frame construction and hand-scraped guide way precision. The differences are in scale: die area dimensions, stroke length, motor power, machine weight and physical footprint scale with tonnage.

Small Tonnage Range

HF-200 & HF-320: Electronics, Connectors, Small Parts

HS-FINEB HF-320 fine blanking press for small precision parts and electronics

The HF-200 (200T) and HF-320 (320T) are the entry-point models of the HF-series, designed for small precision components in thin-gauge materials. These presses excel in applications where part perimeter is small, material thickness is 1–6 mm, and production volumes are high — the sweet spot for fine blanking economics.

Typical applications: Electronic connector terminals (phosphor bronze, 0.5–2 mm), small precision washers (C45, 1–3 mm), instrument gears (16MnCr5, 2–4 mm), lock components (C45, 2–5 mm), small shielding cans and lead frames (0.3–1 mm electrical steel, copper alloys).

The HF-200's 600×500 mm die area accommodates small progressive dies (3–5 stations) and compound dies for simple geometries. The HF-320's larger 800×630 mm die area supports more complex progressive dies (5–8 stations) and larger single-stroke compound dies. Both models achieve 30–60 SPM, making them suitable for high-volume electronics and consumer hardware applications where annual volumes exceed 500,000 parts.

The compact footprint (HF-200 weighs only 12 tons and stands 2,800 mm tall) means these presses can be installed in standard industrial buildings without special foundation reinforcement — important for electronics manufacturers and job shops with limited floor space.

Medium Tonnage Range

HF-400 to HF-700: Automotive Components, Seat Mechanisms

HS-FINEB HF-650 fine blanking press for medium automotive parts and seat mechanisms

The HF-400, HF-500, HF-650 and HF-700 cover the most demanded tonnage range for fine blanking — the 400–700T sweet spot where automotive components, seat mechanisms and medium structural parts are produced. These models represent the majority of our production volume, reflecting the global fine blanking market where mid-range presses serve the automotive supply chain.

Typical applications: Seat recliner mechanisms (gears, plates, locking cams in 16MnCr5 and C45, 3–8 mm), brake caliper components (mounting plates, piston seals in C45 and ductile iron, 5–10 mm), transmission gears (planetary, helical in 20MnCr5, 4–8 mm), clutch plates and synchronizer rings (C45, 2–5 mm), lock cylinders and bolt mechanisms (C45, brass, 3–6 mm), pump and valve components (stainless, 3–8 mm).

The HF-500 (500T) is our most commonly ordered model — its 1000×800 mm die area accommodates complex progressive dies (8–12 stations) for multi-feature automotive parts, while its 50–300 mm strip width range covers most standard coil sizes. The HF-650 and HF-700 extend the die area to 1200×900 mm and 1300×1000 mm respectively, supporting larger part geometries and more station progressive dies for complex automotive mechanisms.

These models also serve the growing EV lightweighting market, where high-strength steel (S700MC, DP800) structural components at 5–10 mm thickness require 400–700T blanking force. The triple-force architecture is essential for these hard materials — conventional stamping would produce unacceptable edge quality and flatness.

Large Tonnage Range

HF-800 to HF-1200: Structural Parts, Large Gears, Thick Materials

HS-FINEB HF-1000 fine blanking press 1000 ton for large structural parts and thick materials

The HF-800, HF-1000 and HF-1200 are the heavy-duty flagships of the HF-series, designed for large structural components, thick-plate parts and high-force applications that exceed the capabilities of mid-range presses. These models serve automotive structural, heavy machinery and industrial applications where material thickness exceeds 10 mm or part perimeter is large.

Typical applications: Chassis structural brackets (S700MC, 8–15 mm), large transmission gears (20MnCr5, 10–15 mm), heavy machinery components (C45, 42CrMo4, 10–20 mm), control arms and mounting brackets (DP800, 8–12 mm), pump support structures (stainless, 8–15 mm), large thrust washers (65Mn, 5–10 mm) for heavy equipment.

The HF-1200 is our flagship: 12,000 kN blanking force, 4,000 kN V-ring force, 2,000 kN counter-pressure, with a 2000×1800 mm die area capable of producing parts up to 500 mm in maximum dimension. At 98 tons and 5,800 mm height, it requires a dedicated foundation and overhead crane capacity of 100+ tons for installation. This is the press for the largest and thickest fine-blanked parts — the kind of structural components that would otherwise require expensive CNC machining or forging followed by machining.

The HF-800 and HF-1000 serve the gap between mid-range and flagship: large enough for 8–15 mm thick structural parts, small enough to fit in standard industrial facilities (HF-800 at 68 tons, HF-1000 at 82 tons). Many automotive Tier 1 suppliers choose the HF-800 or HF-1000 for structural component production lines where annual volumes of 50,000–200,000 parts justify dedicated press investment.

Cross-Brand Comparison

HF-Series vs Feintool HFA & Mori FB

For buyers evaluating HS-FINEB against established brands, here is a specification-level comparison. The HF-series is designed to the same triple-force fine blanking principles as Feintool HFA and Mori FB presses, with comparable die areas, stroke ranges and force ratios. The primary differences are in brand-specific control system features, service network density and — most significantly — purchase price.

Specification	HS-FINEB HF-500	Feintool HFA-500	Mori FB-500
Blanking force	5000 kN	5000 kN	5000 kN
V-ring force	1500 kN	1500 kN	1500 kN
Counter-pressure	800 kN	800 kN	800 kN
Die area	1000×800 mm	1000×800 mm	950×780 mm
Max stroke	220 mm	250 mm	230 mm
SPM range	20–45	18–50	20–45
Motor power	45 kW	55 kW	45 kW
Control system	CNC with PROFIBUS	Feintool proprietary	Mori proprietary
Relative price	1.0×	2.5–3.0×	2.0–2.5×

The specifications are comparable across all three brands at equivalent tonnage — confirming that the fine blanking process fundamentals are shared. The price difference reflects brand premium, overhead structure and service network, not process capability. For buyers who need engineering quality at a competitive price, the HF-series delivers equivalent tonnage, die area and force architecture at 35–60% of the cost of equivalent Feintool or Mori presses.

Automation

Auxiliary Equipment & Production Line Integration

Automatic feeding and leveling machine for fine blanking production line integration

Every HF-series press can be integrated into a fully automated fine blanking production line with coil feeding and decoiling systems, waste shear conveyors, parts extraction systems and deburring and cleaning equipment. The CNC controller supports line integration through PROFIBUS fieldbus communication, enabling coordinated operation between the press, feeder, straightener and scrap conveyor. Tooling protection sensors monitor die clearance and material position in real time, auto-stopping the line if misfeed or slug pulling is detected — preventing die damage. For high-volume automotive applications, the complete production line achieves 30–45 SPM with unattended operation, reducing labor cost per part.
