Unique four corner support design ties top and base into one rigid assembly. This design eliminates guide rod stress due to overhung loads imparted by heavy dies during the swing cycle and appreciably increases the accuracy of mold/die contact. Rack and pinion leveling or motion controls used on larger presses to maintain precision parallelism of the platens.

Advantage of rear swing-out platen allows correction and grinding operations without interfering with similar operations performed simultaneously at the front of the press on the opposite die half.
