Soukup FP - Window & Door Press

Soukup · Timber Window & Door

A dedicated electro-hydraulic frame press for assembling and gluing timber windows and doors — built for workshops that need consistent squareness and clamping pressure on every frame, without relying on operator judgement to get it right.

Typically chosen by

Joinery shops producing timber windows and doors at volume who need repeatable, square assemblies without relying on operator skill alone
Workshops moving away from manual or band-cramp assembly and looking for a more consistent, efficient pressing process
Manufacturers working across a range of frame sizes who need a press bed large enough to accommodate their largest units

Key specification considerations

Standard Bed Size

3200 × 2100 mm (FP-S 32.21)

This is the standard stocked configuration — confirm availability of the 2500 × 1800 mm and 4000 × 2600 mm variants with IWM before specifying.

Maximum Bed Size

4000 × 2600 mm (FP-S 40.26)

Suits workshops assembling large commercial or heritage window and door frames; confirm floor space and access requirements before ordering.

Clamping Pressure

1,500 kgf per cylinder (100 mm stroke)

Each vertical beam delivers independent, controlled clamping force — allowing pressure to be set separately for vertical and horizontal axes to suit the frame being glued.

Drive Type

Electro-hydraulic

Specification	Value	Notes
Model — Standard	FP-S 32.21
Bed Size — Standard	3200 × 2100 mm
Model — Small	FP-S 25.18	Available upon request only.
Bed Size — Small	2500 × 1800 mm
Model — Large	FP-S 40.26	At this footprint, allow additional clearance for loading and unloading assembled frames; check floor loading capacity with IWM.
Bed Size — Large	4000 × 2600 mm
Drive Type	Electro-hydraulic
Clamping Pressure	1,500 kgf per cylinder, 100 mm stroke	Two independent pressure gauges — one for vertical, one for horizontal — let the operator set and monitor clamping force precisely for each axis.
Number of Vertical Clamping Beams	3 (FP-S 32.21) / 4 (FP-S 40.26)	Each beam carries one vertical hydraulic piston with self-locking pins and a counterbalance; beams slide on ball-bearing rails so a single operator can reposition them quickly between frames.
Horizontal End Beam	1, with 2 hydraulic pistons (upper counterbalanced)
Control Type	Electrically operated with manual lever locking pins and counterweighted pressure heads	The counterweight system means pistons can be repositioned without physical effort, keeping cycle times short when switching between frame sizes.
Power Requirement	Confirm with IWM — electrical supply details available on request	Verify phase and amperage requirements with IWM before planning your electrical supply; the machine is electrically powered and will require a dedicated circuit.
Machine Weight	Confirm with IWM — details available on request	Contact IWM for weight data so floor loading can be assessed before installation.

Is this the right
machine for you?

Choose the Soukup FP - Window & Door Press if...

Your workshop assembles timber windows and doors at a consistent volume and you need repeatable squareness and clamping pressure across every frame
You're producing frames up to 4000 × 2600 mm and need a pressing bed large enough to handle your full size range
You want a dedicated hydraulic press rather than adapting a general-purpose cramping or assembly system
You're replacing a manual or band-cramp process and need a more reliable, less operator-dependent assembly method

Consider an alternate model if...

Your volumes are lower or your frame sizes are more variable — the Soukup Assembling Table KS 2400 may offer more flexibility for mixed work without the footprint of a dedicated press
Your work involves curved or segmented profiles rather than standard rectangular frames — the Soukup Segment Press Machine is designed specifically for that application
Your primary requirement is glazing and finishing rather than structural frame assembly — the Soukup Mounting & Glazing Stand GW 2500 is better suited to that stage of the process
You are unsure whether a hydraulic press is the right approach for your production level — talk to IWM before specifying, as the correct choice depends on throughput, frame sizes, and workshop layout
