16-Ton Pneumatic Press Packs Power Into Small Footprint

A new compact, 16-ton pneumatic toggle press that adapts to many applications including assembling bearings and bushings, punching, bending, and forming is being introduced by AIM Joraco of Smithfield, R.I.

The Toggle-Aire® 16-ton pneumatic press is a benchtop unit that employs a mechanical advantage to create increasing ram forces as it completes its 1.5-inch stroke; with 0.001-inch accuracy and repeatability. Compact and easy to operate, this press is a cost-effective alternative to a hydraulic press in applications in which high ram forces up to 36,960 pounds are required.

Featuring a 10-inch x 18-inch footprint and 4.75-inch deep throat, the Toggle-Aire® 16-Ton Pneumatic Press accommodates a wide variety of tooling, operates on 80-100 psi air, and only consumes 0.91 CF @80 psi. This low-maintenance press has a one-shot lubrication system, Syncro-sig™ anti-tie down actuators, and an adjustable shut height.

The Toggle-Aire® 16-ton pneumatic press is priced from $9,199 with two-week delivery, and a full 60-month warranty in honor of the firm’s 60th anniversary in business.
