Press Configuration
Work with Piranha to align machine capabilities, controls, tooling needs, and production requirements with your fabrication workflow and future capacity plans.
Piranha helps fabrication teams specify durable industrial hydraulic press solutions for demanding metalworking environments. Backed by 145+ years of combined brand heritage, we pair practical application knowledge with configurable equipment, responsive U.S.-based support, and a broader fabrication lineup. Build a press solution that supports accurate, repeatable production today while giving your operation room to grow.

Configurable press equipment, application guidance, shipment coordination, and support for industrial fabrication operations.
Work with Piranha to align machine capabilities, controls, tooling needs, and production requirements with your fabrication workflow and future capacity plans.
Draw on fabrication expertise to evaluate material handling, repeatability, part requirements, and the equipment setup needed for efficient, spec-driven production.
Coordinate equipment ordering and shipment details with a knowledgeable team, helping your shop prepare for delivery, installation planning, and startup.
A productive press solution starts with understanding the work it must perform. Piranha helps industrial fabricators evaluate equipment configuration, production demands, and how a press fits within the broader shop workflow. Our approach combines durable metal fabrication equipment with practical guidance before and after the sale, so teams can pursue cleaner, repeatable results, reduce avoidable downtime, and plan confidently for scalable production.

Fabrication expertise focused on your production challenges.
Piranha began in 1974 when Harry Oswald and Bob Brown developed an ironworker to solve a real production challenge at the foundry where they worked. That practical, shop-floor mindset continues to guide the company today. Over time, Piranha expanded from its original ironworker into a broad range of metal fabrication and thermal cutting equipment, while integrating the W.A. Whitney and Bertsch brands. Together, these brands represent more than 145 years of manufacturing heritage. Our team helps fabricators consider the entire workflow—not just a single machine—so equipment decisions can support productivity, repeatability, and future growth. From initial configuration through parts and technical support, Piranha is committed to straightforward guidance and durable solutions for industrial operations.
Common press machine types include hydraulic presses, mechanical presses, pneumatic presses, servo presses, and press brakes. Hydraulic presses use fluid pressure to deliver controlled force and are often selected for forming, straightening, drawing, molding, and other applications requiring adjustable pressure or stroke control. Mechanical presses use a flywheel and crank mechanism for high-speed repetitive stamping. The right type depends on tonnage, material, tooling, cycle time, part geometry, and automation needs.
