The Spectrum Basic Series thermal press is our new compact bench top system with easy to use touch screen controls!

Available in three sizes the BASIC heatstaking press system is an ideal compact bench-top press for small precision thermal or heatstaking operations. Forces range from 0-1400 lbs depending on model chosen and they are available with up to TWELVE integrated temperature controllers!

Available in 120v or 240v 50/60 Hz.

BASIC Heat Staking Presses:


BASIC S-3	BASIC S-5	BASIC S-10

BASIC Heat Staking Processes:


Insertion	Staking	Degating	Date Coding
Install one or several inserts at the same time.	Custom platens available to stake several studs/tabs simultaneously.	Heated sharp blades with beveled edge can cut gate flush to -.010	Use type holders or multi-wheel numbering for permanent part I.D.
