Pneumatic Presses | Benchtop press machines manufactured 100% in the USA

Fully Customizable Pneumatic Arbor Presses - Designed for Your Applications

Pneumatic arbor presses, also known as air presses, use air pressure to manipulate a workpiece. A rectangular frame contains the workpiece while the ram drops down from above. Pneumatic presses can be used to quickly bend, draw, cut, punch and form metal components. Janesville Tool manufactures custom power, toggle, heat and other pneumatic arbor presses for highly specialized production tasks. All of our presses and parts are manufactured in-house at our facility in Janesville, Wisconsin. We offer a FREE application test for presses ordered for industrial/assembly applications to ensure the press meets your expectations. Our pneumatic presses feature manufacturer-direct pricing. If you need a specialized press for your facility, all of our pneumatic presses are user-customizable using the form below.

Force Calculation

Model numbers are set up to give the user an indication of the force that can be obtained from the press. The last three numbers of the model number, when divided by 10 and multiplied by the air pressure will yield the output force of the press.

Benchtop press

Each precision benchtop pneumatic press is small enough to fit easily on a bench to complement your working area.

Hand press

Our presses are easily hand operated and fully customizable for minimal effort use over and over and over again.

Power press

All Janesville Tool & Manufacturing pneumatic presses are powered to improve repeatability and maximize precision.

Pneumatic press VS hydraulic press

The difference between pneumatic and hydraulic presses is the method used to operate the machine. Pneumatic presses use compressed air or nitrogen gas to create leverage and compressive force. Hydraulic presses incorporate a cylinder filled with oil to create downward force. A piston compresses the oil which cannot expand within the cylinder and forces the ram into the workpiece. Both hydraulic and pneumatic presses are used for the same roles and are capable of performing the same tasks. Pneumatic presses feature faster operation and are generally easier to maintain.

Pneumatic press applications

Pneumatic presses are versatile tools that are capable of handling high-speed operations on a small scale. Our pneumatic presses are used throughout the United States in aerospace, defense, telecom and medical industries. A pneumatic press creates more force than a manual press making it an ideal tool for the following industrial applications:
