Rubber presses provide high-quality parts with excellent tolerances. Low-profile rubber presses are available up to 700 tn at 2000 psi, with platen sizes up to 36 x 36 in. The units, manufactured by ASB Industries Inc. (Barberton, OH; 330/753-8458), can be supplied with electric, oil, or steam heat platens. All critical dimensions are machined to exact specifications to assure the highest part-production tolerances. The presses are free-standing and can be quickly installed and easily moved, eliminating the need for a bit on the production floor.
