Press-in technique
The SMP Series
The press-in units of the SMP series are specifically designed for compressive forces and stand out thanks to their robust, low-maintenance construction. Their straightforward design makes them ideal for use in harsh industrial environments.
The digital force sensor is positioned close to the plunger; stroke measurement is performed via an absolute measurement system.
In combination with the MultiPro 3G control system, high-precision force transducers and exact position detection enable reliable assembly – with complete documentation of all process data.
The SMP series provides a powerful system for quality-critical press-in applications.
