Durable Technologies' pneumatic presses are simple to set up, easy to operate and offer excellent repeatability. Pneumatic presses provide a safe, consistent mark for high-volume marking applications. Your pneumatic press can be provided with or without dual hand controls.
Pneumatic Press Principles of Operation
The press contains a large spring that is compressed during energy section travel. When release point is reached, the compressed energy is released causing the internal hammer to deliver the powerful impact.
Step 1 - Energy section advances toward workpiece by gear rack and pinion, powered by double-acting pneumatic cylinder (pneumatic units) or by operator pulling lever (manual units).
Step 2 - Once the press stroke is engaged and the workpiece is contacted, the press stroke continues. The workpiece is held in place by the pressure from the energy section. The Impact Spring is compressed and builds force as the press continues to maintain contact with the workpiece.
Step 3 - When ball bearings reach release point, the powerful impact is released. The Impact Spring delivers force to the hammer, which in turn strikes the plunger (tool holder).The result is a strong impact from a small press.
