Presses can be classified according to
their mechanism: hydraulic, mechanical, pneumatic;
their function: forging presses, stamping presses, press brakes, punch press, etc.
their structure, e.g. Knuckle-joint press, screw press
their controllability: conventional vs. servo-presses" - (en.wikipedia.org 18.11.2021)
