Hot-stamping Press Is For Large ApplicationsHot-stamping Press Is For Large Applications

The Model KF8600 high-tonnage wedge press is said to offer 20 tons of pressing force and 18 in of throat depth for large products. A sliding wedge uses a single part to apply pressure, which compensates for thickness variations between parts, the supplier says. The model is available with an elevated worktable, or an adjustable knee to accept large injection molded containers. Standard platen heating sizes range from 10 by 15 in to 15 by 30 in.
