Manual assembly presses continue to outsell pneumatic and servo-driven presses for three reasons: lower price, greater flexibility and simpler operation.
Like soldiers, rows of BalTec Corp. manual assembly presses stand ready to work at electronic manufacturing plants throughout North America. Workers there use the presses to crimp wires to terminals and connectors.
The company’s presses are also used extensively in the auto industry. Chuck Rupprecht, vice president and general manager for BalTec Corp., says the presses are often located near, and used in conjunction with, riveting equipment.
