The Spectrum ULTRA Series thermal press is our new advanced compact bench top system with easy-to-use 4.3" COLOR touch screen controls (HMI). This more advanced model provides closed-loop process controls and process parameter windows and also allows for additional options and accessories for better control and use while heat staking.
Available in either 120V or 240V (50/60Hz) and with three different force models, the Spectrum Ultra Series Heatstaking Press system is an ideal compact bench-top system for all thermal secondary and sealing operations. Press forces range from 0-1400 lbs depending on the model chosen.
Heat Staking Processes:
