Alpha Series
Crank-Motion Fixed Stroke – Reliable & Affordable
The ALPHA Series is YAMADA’s best-selling crank-motion fixed stroke press, renowned for reliability, simplicity, and exceptional value. With dual plungers and four slide guides, it delivers precise, high-speed stamping across a wide range of applications, including connectors, electrical components, washers, and motor lamination. Its robust cast-iron frame ensures optimal process stability and minimal bed distortion. Like all YAMADA presses, the ALPHA Series features automatic oil temperature control (Heat & Cool System), providing consistent bottom-dead-center accuracy and perfect parts from the very first stroke.

Heat & Cool System
Perfect Parts from the First Stroke
Precision starts at the very first stroke. Yamada’s Heat & Cool system keeps the press at a constant operating temperature — from the first part to the last. Before production begins, the system automatically heats the press frame and slide to the optimal temperature using a built-in timer, so the machine is ready when production starts — without any loss of time. Once running, a circulating oil loop maintains the temperature within ±1 °C through integrated heating and cooling.
The result: consistent part quality, stable accuracy, and less scrap — without any additional cost. The Heat & Cool system comes standard with every Yamada press, ensuring perfect performance right from the start.
