Hydro-pneumatic presses are operated only by compressed air, activating the hydraulic power stroke automatically. They combine the advantages of pneumatic and hydraulic presses.
During the pneumatically operated rapid stroke, the workpiece is approacked rapidly at low power. The hydraulic power stroke commences automatically as soon as resistance is met. This is why the input energy is used most economically with these models in particular. The operation of hydro-pneumatic presses is described on the following pages.
Since hydro-pneumatic presses do not require a hydraulic unit, they can be used even in the most confined spaces.
All hydro-pneumatic presses can be supplied with standard controls or with controls mad to customers' specification.
