Used Oak Industries Equipment Sold by Meadoworks

Oak Industries traces its roots to 1965, when Burr Oak Tool Inc. — a world leader in machinery for the heating and air-conditioning industry — founded a sister company called Oak Products, Inc. specifically to build the close-tolerance, high-speed presses that existing suppliers could not deliver. Word of the Oak press spread quickly beyond the HVAC sector, and the company grew into a broad-based precision press manufacturer. In 2006 the business rebranded as Oak Press Solutions Inc. while retaining its Sturgis, Michigan manufacturing base, where all presses continue to be machined and assembled in the USA.

Oak Industries' flagship product lines are straight side mechanical presses engineered for high-speed precision stamping. The LP Series is a two-point straight side press featuring a patented Scotch Yoke slide with a twelve-point, zero-clearance anti-friction roller bearing system and a stress-relieved cast iron bed, crown, and slide for superior vibration dampening; bed widths run from 24 to 120 inches. The CP Series is a four-point straight side press that uses double-eccentric drive shafts to deliver even loading across the entire slide surface. The SS Series is a super-speed two-point straight side press with a dynamically balanced slide and a quick slide lift system. The PP-400 is a single-point straight side press suited to a wide range of general stamping applications. Press capacities span 30 to 300 tons, with speeds reaching up to 1,500 strokes per minute.

Oak Industries presses serve a diverse range of end markets. The HVAC and heat-exchanger industry has relied on Oak straight side presses as the standard platform for running large progressive tools that produce air-conditioner fins and heat-exchanger end sheets. Beyond HVAC, Oak presses are widely used in motor and transformer lamination stamping, electronics component manufacturing, battery cell production, perforating, and general progressive die stamping across automotive and industrial supply chains.

Buyers seeking used Oak Industries straight side presses on the secondary market consistently cite the machines' heavy-duty cast iron construction, zero-clearance multi-point slide guidance, and hydraulic withdrawal systems as reasons these presses hold up through decades of high-cycle production. Parts availability is a practical advantage as well — Oak Press Solutions maintains an extensive inventory of spare parts and assemblies, making it straightforward to return a vintage LP or CP series press to like-new condition. The combination of robust build quality, a still-active OEM parts and rebuild program, and proven performance in demanding lamination and progressive die applications gives used Oak Industries presses strong residual value on the secondary market.
