Pneumatic presses generate force by compressing and releasing an impact spring, creating a very short cycle time and a consistent impression. A pneumatic press is generally used for high volume, repetitive indent marking applications but can also be used for assembly, stamping, forming, punching, and shearing applications which is why they can be found across a wide range of industries.

Unlike more complicated marking solutions, manual impact presses are low maintenance solutions that are easy to set up and operate. The simplicity of the manual press, coupled with the degree of control it offers, it's safety, and reliability, make it a popular marking solution. Specifically, high volume repetitive indent marking applications are best handled with the use of impact presses which achieve a very short cycle time that cannot be met with any other marking method.

Most companies have long relied on standard engineering practices to guide their engineers as they work on product and tooling designs. Recent trends indicate that engineering guidelines are no longer relegated to product and tooling functions. Now many companies and industries are expanding these engineering guidelines to include standards for product marking.
