Our 15 Ton CNC Powder Press may be the smallest in our line, but it still packs an incredible array of standard features and options. This press is especially accurate in its tolerances, and handles even the most intricate press work with amazing precision.
Here are some of the highlights of our PM-15 Digital CNC Powder Compacting Press:
- It produces a better parts rate.
- It has been designed specifically for single level but it can have 2 levels with a flanged die.
- An open-loop core pin is standard.
- A CNC closed-loop core pin is available as an option.
- It has all the intricate functionality of the larger presses.
- It has a smaller footprint and does not need a pit or platform.
- It allows for a 7″ fill, 6″ die with lots of daylight.
- It offers incredibly high resolution with increments of .010 tons.
