Enhance your press operations with PST Workstation Solutions

3 minute(s) to read July 22, 2021

Atlas Copco produces the most innovative and user-friendly press assembly tool on the market, the PST.

The PST press system is advanced enough for the most critical applications, precise enough to detect even the slightest variance in a process, and powerful enough for up to 100 kN of press force. That’s over 22,000 lbs. of applied force.

But did you know that alongside our state-of-the-art press tool system, we offer a comprehensive selection of workstation options?

Before mentioning the solutions, it is important to mention that many issues can arise without the optimal station design for press tool operations.

These issues include

  • workstation inefficiencies
  • operation difficulty
  • insufficient space for the workpiece
  • incorrect part clearances
  • increased time to complete the assembly process.

Overall, it is a proven fact that improper integration of an intelligent press tool can greatly diminish the value that the tooling itself provides. As the global experts in press technique, why not choose Atlas Copco for your entire workstation needs?

Our PST Workstation Solutions will overcome these challenges and provide you with the most robust and sustainable solution for your application.
