Beckwood Press Co., St. Louis, MO, recently added an

important design element to its DJ-series line of standardized benchtop presses, in capacities from 3 to more than 40 tons. The models now will feature a ram equipped with antirotation, helping to maintain consistent die alignment throughout the cycle.

The standardized hydraulic and hydro-pneumatic benchtop presses are available in stock or with a short lead time. They offer high-speed, high-precision performance, suitable for, but not limited to, assembly, compression, punching, trimming, blanking, stamping and coining applications. These standardized systems can be modified for specific applications that require customized stroke, shut height, bed size and control systems. Each can be equipped with standard relay-based control or an upgraded PLC control system featuring an operator interface and a digitally programmable pressure switch for return-on-pressure capability.
