METALPRESS MACHINERY — BRITISH COLUMBIA
Manufacturing Equipment for the Lower Mainland & Fraser Valley
Servo presses, hydraulic presses, tooling handling and industrial manufacturing equipment for aerospace, marine, machinery and metal manufacturers across British Columbia’s Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley.
Controlled, flexible production within valuable industrial space
Lower Mainland manufacturing ranges from automated equipment in Surrey and aerospace in Abbotsford to machinery in Langley and large marine structures in North Vancouver. The common need is productive, repeatable equipment that uses limited floor space well.
MetalPress Machinery supplies industrial presses, servo-driven forming, die and tool handling, coil handling and specialized production equipment across the region.
One region with several manufacturing economies

Industrial floor space is a production asset
Industrial land represents a small share of Metro Vancouver’s land base while supporting a large share of employment. Machine footprint, material travel, tooling storage and maintenance clearance therefore become economic variables.

Shared equipment
Material flow
Expansion planning
Servo-electric presses for compact precision production
Servo-electric technology suits controlled-force processes that require precise movement, repeatable position, programmable recipes, clean operation and easy automation in a compact production cell.
Assembly & insertion
Control how much force is applied and where the component reaches its final position.Precision forming & joining
Program movement for different components, tools and process limits.Testing & monitoring
Use force-versus-position information as part of the quality process.Servo-hydraulic power for flexible higher-force work
When components require substantially more force, servo-hydraulic presses combine hydraulic capacity with programmable approach, contact, forming speed, force or position control, dwell and return.
High force
Support deeper forming, larger tooling and demanding industrial operations.Programmable cycles
Store different motion profiles for changing product families.Accessible integration
Configure the frame, platen, stroke and loading method around the real process.Abbotsford aerospace: control before capacity
Aerospace manufacturing, maintenance and modification can require accurate force, position, speed, alignment, repeatability and process monitoring. The machine should be selected from the component backward.
Precision forming
Evaluate material, geometry, thickness, tooling, force and forming rate.Controlled assembly
Install bushings, bearings, pins, sleeves and structural connections.Quality evidence
Compare force and position to process limits and flag abnormal results.Automation
Integrate recipes, handling, gauging and production records where required.Marine manufacturing changes the scale
Shipbuilding and industrial marine production involve large structures, crane handling, open access and many regional suppliers producing brackets, supports, frames, equipment mounts and machinery components.
4-post presses
Open access around several sides for oversized fixtures, irregular components and crane loading.Straightening stations
Measure welded distortion, support the component and apply controlled corrective force.Assembly & press fitting
Join large compatible components with repeatable force and motion.Supplier production
Support the thousands of smaller fabricated elements that enter a completed vessel.Flexible equipment for machinery manufacturers
A machine builder may produce ten units of one component, fifty of another and then a custom part. Flexible equipment reduces the need for a dedicated machine for every job.
Adjustable stroke
Avoid unnecessary motion and adapt to different tool heights.Programmable force
Set appropriate limits for forming, assembly, testing or straightening.Tool change capability
Move between fixtures without rebuilding the workstation.Recipe storage
Make recurring jobs repeatable for different operators and shifts.Move and rotate heavy production tooling
Die & tool transfer carts
Move tools between storage, maintenance and production at the machine loading height.MDR heavy-load upenders
Rotate compatible dies, moulds and industrial loads through 90 degrees under control.Application data
Provide weight, dimensions, centre of gravity, contact surfaces, orientations and loading method.Space-efficient coil handling
Coil handling supports Lower Mainland manufacturers processing steel and aluminum, while remaining secondary to the broader manufacturing theme. Plan the full route from receiving and storage through transfer, rotation and loading.
MCT coil tippers
Rotate coils between horizontal and vertical orientations.MCC transfer carts
Move coils between receiving, storage and production.Layout objective
Reduce crane moves, forklift travel, repeated handling and floor congestion.Automation can improve space and process efficiency
A connected cell can combine robotic handling, a programmable press, inspection and conveyance. The goal is to reduce staging, manual movement and disconnected workstations while improving repeatability.
PLC & HMI control
Manage recipes, alarms, permissions and machine status.Robotics interfaces
Coordinate part loading, unloading and tool interaction.Process monitoring
Collect force, position, cycle and production information.Connected production
Communicate with upstream equipment and plant systems where required.Select the equipment path by the process
