Key Advantages

The KAVDO pneumatic power press combines air-powered precision control with robust mechanical stamping capability — delivering superior speed, safety and cleanliness in one production-ready machine.

Instant Pneumatic Response

The dry pneumatic clutch & brake system engages and stops in under 50 milliseconds — significantly faster than wet clutch systems. This ultra-fast response enables precise single-stroke operation, reliable top-dead-center stopping and safe high-speed continuous cycling at up to 120 SPM.

Zero Oil Contamination

Unlike wet-type clutch presses that require oil bath lubrication, the dry pneumatic system operates without clutch oil — eliminating the risk of oil mist, leakage and workpiece contamination. Ideal for clean-room environments, food-grade packaging, medical components and precision electronics where product cleanliness is non-negotiable.

Advanced Safety Architecture

Dual solenoid safety valves ensure the clutch cannot engage if either valve fails. Combined with emergency stop buttons on both sides, hydraulic overload protection, top-dead-center stopping control and optional photoelectric light curtain guards — the press exceeds CE and OSHA safety standards for operator protection.

Consistent Force Delivery

Precision-ground crankshaft with helical gear transmission delivers uniform tonnage at bottom dead center on every stroke. The pneumatic clutch’s self-adjusting friction linings maintain consistent engagement pressure throughout their full service life — no gradual degradation or periodic adjustment required.

Low Noise & Vibration

The pneumatic clutch engagement is inherently smoother than rigid mechanical key clutches, producing significantly less impact shock and noise during operation. Combined with the balanced flywheel and helical gear drive, the press operates at workshop noise levels 4–8 dB lower than comparable rigid-clutch presses — improving operator comfort and extending die life.

Lower Maintenance Cost

No clutch oil to change, no oil filter to replace, no oil seals to leak. The dry pneumatic system eliminates the single largest maintenance cost of wet-clutch presses. Self-adjusting friction linings last 2–3 million cycles before replacement, and the simple air supply system requires only standard workshop compressed air at 0.5–0.6 MPa.

Dry Pneumatic Clutch & Brake System

Unlike wet-type clutches immersed in oil, the dry pneumatic system uses composite friction linings in a clean air environment — delivering faster engagement, shorter stopping distances and zero lubricant contamination of the workpiece or die area.

Compressed air at 0.5–0.6 MPa actuates the clutch via dual solenoid safety valves. Fail-safe design engages the brake instantly on power loss. Self-adjusting linings maintain performance over 2–3 million cycles without manual adjustment.

4-Step Precision Stamping Workflow

From material feeding to finished part ejection — the pneumatic power press delivers clean, fast and repeatable stamping with air-powered precision control at every stage of the cycle.

1

Setup & Die Loading

Install the die set and use motorized slide adjustment to match die shut height. Set the PLC controller for single-stroke or continuous mode. Adjust air pressure to 0.5–0.6 MPa and verify safety systems — the press is ready in minutes.

2

Material Feed

Feed sheet metal strip or blanks into the die area manually or via automatic roller/servo feeder. The three-sided C-frame access allows loading from front, left or right. PLC synchronizes feed length with stroke cycle for consistent material positioning.

3

Press & Form

Pneumatic clutch engages in <50 ms, the crankshaft drives the slide through the full stroke delivering rated tonnage at bottom dead center. Clean engagement means no oil mist, no vibration spike and precise force application on every single stroke.

4

Eject & Repeat

Finished parts eject via knockout bar or through the bolster hole. In continuous mode, the cycle repeats at full SPM. Stroke counter and optional tonnage monitor track production metrics in real time for quality assurance.
