The main function of the pneumatic system in a heat press is to generate the pressure needed to clamp the plates together with a consistent and adjustable force. The compressor supplies compressed air to the pneumatic cylinders or actuators within the machine.
- Pressure control: The compressor provides a consistent and controllable airflow, which allows operators to adjust the pressure on the material being pressed. This is essential for uniform application of heat and pressure.
- Fast operation: Pneumatic systems respond quickly, ensuring that the press applies pressure rapidly when required and releases it just as fast, improving production speed.
