2-COLUMN LAB PRESSES
PNEUMATIC

The PW-P series pneumatic lab presses are recommended for applications which require a relatively low ram force with very good uniformity of the pressure to be maintained. With these models, pneumatic pressure acts on the pressure cylinder. They are very easy to use, extremely robust and can be placed on lab benches, workbenches or press carriages.

The press tool or material is centered on the lower pressure plate and the upper pressure plate is rotated down with the adjusting spindle until it rests against the pressing material. The air pressure supplied via the compressed air system causes the pneumatic cylinder piston to move upwards. A precision pressure control valve allows very precise setting of the ram force in both static and dynamic applications.

Further outstanding features are the high-quality Festo pneumatic components, the hard chrome-plated press columns, the plasma-hardened adjusting spindle with trapezoidal thread and the standard saftey guard with pneumatic door switches.

The PW-P series can be individually adapted to many user requirements and equipped with many add-on components.

All the PW-P series lab presses are also available with heating/cooling plate systems up to 300 °C or 500 °C.

General

All 2-column pneumatic lab presses are characterised by their easy handling and extremely robust design.

The 2-column construction is very compact and space-saving. The press frame consists of a base plate, two hard chrome-plated columns and the press yoke. An adjusting spindle with trapezoidal thread is attached to the press yoke which serves to apply the upper pressure plate quickly to the pressing material or pressing tool. The pressing process is started and stopped by pressing a pneumatic switch.

Centered on the base plate is the hydraulic cylinder. The pneuatic cylinder piston is fitted to one of the workbench press columns. All pneumatic components are housed in a metal housing. In addition to the high-quality and very accurate precision pressure control valve, the lab press is equipped with a maintenance unit and a safety guard.

The PW series can be individually adapted to many user requirements and equipped with many add-on components.

General

The series PW-PH lab presses are equipped with round or rectangular heating/cooling plate systems HKP and the appropriate temperature control units TRG. Round heating/cooling plate systems are heated with surface radiators up to 300 °C, rectangular HCPs are designed with high-performance heating cartridges and can reach temperatures of up to 500 °C. In order to mount the upper heating/cooling plate system, all lab presses with heating/cooling plate system are equipped with an adjustable crossbeam guided in both press columns.

The heating/cooling plate systems are equipped with a cooling circuit for press cooling and two cooling circuits for cooling the upper and lower heating plate. The system’s pressure plates are made of hardened, high-pressure-resistant, fine-ground tool steel.

The separate heating of the upper and lower heating plates is achieved via the TRG temperature control units. The TRGs are each equipped with a digital controller and temperature sensor for each heating plate.

The PW-PH series can be individually adapted to many user requirements and equipped with many add-on components.
