1 Scope and field of application This International Standard specifies capacity ratings and dimensions for open front mechanical presses with or without a passage through the frame and with or without a slope, in the range from100 to 2 500 kN inclusive.

A choice of two values is given for some dimensions: these are designated series 1 and series 2. To minimize the variety of dimensions as far as possible it is intended that all the values for a given press should be selected from one of the series. However, in order to meet special requirements it is permitted to select the values for shut height only from either series 1 or series 2.

This International Standard provides for alternative types of bed, one with a round opening and the other a rectangular opening. The bed with the round opening has T-slots provided so that it can be used without a bedplate if required.

Two types of bedplate are specified as type 1 and type 2. Details are also given for the bedplug for beds with round holes and for the bedplate ring for bedplates of type 2.
