Squeeze Action Press Marking Machine Benefits
Schmidt's squeeze action marking presses, with 5 to 15 tons of marking pressure, eliminate impact and reduce noise. By comparison to impact marking presses, these units are dramatically gentler for both the parts being marked and the tooling in the machine. There is no impact, no bounce, and no repercussion as the marking pressure is delivered in a straight, smooth squeeze.
Schmidt's Available Squeeze Action Marking Presses
Schmidt offers two styles of squeeze action marking presses, the pneumatic Model A/O (air over oil) and the bench style Model 450. Our Model A/O (Air over Oil) marking press combines both pneumatic and hydraulic pressure to create an impact and squeeze action press all in one. These systems are available in 6 or 10 tons. The Model 450 is a more heavy duty pneumatic marking press and is available in four sizes.
