Both presses can be used in horizontal position with accessories and in vertical position as relief press. The pressing device can be tilted by 90° without much effort thanks to the easy to handle tilt mechanism. The jaws have a width of 125 mm and a clear width of 500 mm and 430 mm between the stand pipes. They run absolutely parallel due to column guides fitted to the sides. Conical jaws which are easy to attach can be mounted on the parallel jaws. This facilitate the pressing of the joints enormously. Usable with accessories as hand press or finishing press.
