Komatsu offers a complete line of straight side presses from 121 tons to 4000 tons, with slide connections from single point to multi-point and multi-side. Frame designs from solid, 1 piece unitized body to full tie rod construction, all with wide windows to utilize the full width of the bolster for maximum flexibility. Every Komatsu straight side press features a plunger guided slide for a guaranteed minimum 30% longer die life, “keyless” splined power shaft connections, hydraulic slide lock to eliminate slide “creeping”– causing die height changes in heavy blanking operations, and force-cooled hydraulic clutch & brake for virtually maintenance free operation and the highest single stroke rating in the industry. Press drives are available in eccentric or link motions, with precision helical gearing hardened and ground running in oil. Rounding out this press system is Komatsu’s own SIT-II press control with 100-job memory and “built-in” automation features as automatic single stroke operation mode, programmable die protection, 2-channel electronic load monitor, and interfaces for both light curtains and for coil line.
At Komatsu, high performance should not be optional.
The economical straight side with no compromise on performance. For jobs requiring larger beds for tooling, but lighter tonnage. Solid frame construction.

Standard Features
Standard Features
Symmetrical Unitized Frame
Engineered quality. The E2W employs an extremely rigid balanced symmetrical design. Komatsu utilizes its welding and frame design technologies to engineer the one-piece welded frame, providing the rigidity of the larger tonnage straight sides and an affordable cost. E2W also offers a wide window for transfer and progressive applications. With all this, you get the Komatsu standard of uncompromising accuracy and high part consistency stroke after stroke.
Double Reduction Gearing
Higher torque for maximum power transfer. Komatsu’s press drive train is based around a high-quality eccentric drum for high torsional rigidity and superior strength characteristics compared to crankshaft designs. The heavy-duty drive is equipped with double reduction gearing for the eccentric drum, allowing up to 3 times the load bearing area of a similar crankshaft design.
Clutch and Brake
Productivity and reliability. The wet, multiple disc clutch and brake provides higher single stroke operation rates throughput while providing quicker stopping time in all modes of operation. The unit is housed in a continuous-lube, separate oil bath from the main drive, providing superior heat dissipation capabilities. No maintenance operations are normally required, other than an annual fluid change.
Plunger Guide System
Designed for high precision and less die wear. Thrust load from eccentric motion is absorbed by the plunger guide system. The plunger guide is the primary guiding force, preventing side load on the gibs. A size-specific plunger guide is engineered for each different press model, providing maximum performance for each unit. Komatsu also employs full-length gibs that capture the entire length of the slide guide. Gib tolerances are set to Komatsu’s tolerances of 0.0015″ nom. per gib with oil (not grease) lubrication, allowing them to last up to 200 times longer than conventional gibs. Together, the plunger guide and gib surface area add up to 4-5 times the guiding surface area of our nearest competitors. Less routine gib maintenance, less die wear and higher part accuracy are the positive end result, which can translate into improved profits for you.
Slide Adjuster
Easy-to-use motorized slide adjustment. A motorized slide adjustment with digital display is standard. The die height is displayed in metric units of 0.01mm for precise slide adjustment. For extra security, the E2W press relies on precision adjustment screws and nuts rather than chains with a limit switch for overload protection in either direction. The E2W press is also equipped with a positive automatic slide adjustment lock. The unit locks in two directions, preventing changes in die setting and maintaining the consistency of the stamping quality.
Hydraulic Overload Protector
Helps prevent damage to the press and dies. All Komatsu presses are equipped with a hydraulic overload protector, a feature that has been standard for decades helping to protect against damage to the press. If the rated load is exceeded, the press stops automatically. Since the hydraulic pressure can be released easily, operations can be resumed smoothly even if jamming occurs.
System Integrated Terminal
Advanced electronics technology provides user-friendly operation and outstanding reliability. The electronic press control unit is designed to provide the fastest, easiest, and most reliable control available for all press functions. Included as standard equipment on the Komatsu E2W press, the press control incorporates all the latest thinking in press control unit design.
- All information necessary for press set-up, start-up, operation and diagnostics is available in one display, at the touch of a button.
- Language terminology and graphics are user-friendly, easily understood by the press operator in plain view in one central location on the digital display. Display also includes plain language description of fault messages.
- The press control unit has the ability to integrate with current press room equipment, such as electronic coil feeds.
- Operator “T-stand” control interface houses all switches and push-buttons required for ordinary press set-up and operation, including a button for slide adjustment.

Digital display for improved operation performance. Digital display of the crank angle and electronic angle detectors provide increased accuracy for press operations. Automatic operation setting and die set-up functions are easier an faster for press operators, with precise, reliable settings every time. To protect the integrity of all electronic systems and provide additional safety, monitor lamps indicate defects in circuits of all electronic systems, and faults are detected instantly.
Optional Features
Optional Features
- Electronic Load Monitor Load monitors are available to continuously monitor loads in all press operations, including blanking, bending, drawing, etc. The monitor also detects die overloads and underloads during operation.

Komatsu Warranty
The Komatsu Warranty
When a press is designed as a system, it should be expected to perform as a system without routine tear downs for wear items (the conventional “weak link” in our competitors’ presses.) That’s why every Komatsu Press comes with a Two Year Unconditional Warranty on anything that rolls, slides or moves – parts and labor. Unlike other manufacturers, there is no hourly limit – your press is guaranteed to perform 3 shifts a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. With Komatsu systems engineering it’s possible to extract the full potential from your press, and the full revenue potential from every job.
