Pneumatic air press fixture w/ desoutter torque driver


Torque driver is functional and spins when depressed. Torque driver controller is a Desoutter ESP 6 electronic screwdriver controller. Powers on and the torque driver spins but I did not test or change any of the settings as I did not have a manual or part to verify this with.
This machine is designed for pressing 2 parts together in a fixture. These fixtures are easily made and measure 5”x5” and were made from HDPE or Nylon. Any material could be used including fiberglass. Two locator pins on the bottom allow perfect fixture alignment every time and 2 locking pins on the side hold it down. I will include one such fixture with the machine to see how they are set up. It is very simple to change out fixtures. A person could likely change out a fixture in 20-30 seconds with ease. Perhaps less. This machine is ideal for any production use where applications will vary and a consistent result is needed.
Unit is designed to press two parts together then on a linear slide (I think it is SMC but couldn’t see to verify) the torque driver is supposed to slide down and screw the parts together. Please note I was unable to get this slide to go down properly. All position indicators light up as they are designed and fuses are good. Perhaps this is due to a bad solenoid. I don’t know. In short, the I could not get it to actuate down although hen the air pressure was removed it physcially will go down fine. would need a some fine tuning.
Main housing for the torque driver is kept inline with a set of linear rails. This machine is solid!
Finger guards/locks/actuator’s are in place to actuate the press. Works well as I powered this up and tried it. This unit will require 2 hands as both require a finger in them to depress the unit. If a finger is removed before the press is all the way down, it retracts immediately. Place fingers back in the actuators to lift the cylinder.
E-stop switch functions and shuts machine right off. When powering up for the first time, a reset button must be pushed. Green light is functional but needs a new bulb. I verified this using a bulb from another machine but I had to put the bulb back so the working bulb is not included. Appears to be a basic bulb and nothing special but I don’t have an extra on hand.
Main unit is machined from aluminum. Uprights are milled from ¾” thick plate so there is a lot of rigidity to the press. Base is ½” aluminum. Table is mounted on 4 castors for ease of movement.
Unit came from a very clean environment for a large company. It is a bit dusty now from storage at my location. Guaranteed to be as described.
Table measures 36"x36" and is made from solid laminated wood.
Questions? Just ask and I will help as best as I can. Thanks for looking!~
