ICOP stands for Individual Cam Operated Plungers.

These fully mechanical presses come in various sizes, with versatility in the number of stations and tonnage. Each station has its own cam and plunger and utilizes insertable punch and die components, which allows for relatively lower tooling costs. The pitch is fixed and set by the cam shaft. This cam shaft creates the rotational energy. Part geometry, number of features, and tonnage per station needs to be considered in the tool layout.
