Schmidt Technology Provides Precision Press Solutions for Demanding Assembly Applications
Updated: 6 days ago
M6 Revolutions continues our trend of partnering with superior manufacturing solutions providers by partnering with Schmidt Technologies, a world leader in precision press solutions. Schmidt Technology provides a full line of press systems including manual rack and pinion presses , toggle presses, pneumatic presses, hydro-pneumatic presses, electric presses, and
fully automated servo press systems.
Each and every press is manufactured to exacting, precision tolerances which provide the most accurate control of any press operation. Each product is also offered with many different options to further control the press process ensuring the highest quality results. Options include micron end of stroke adjustment, rate control, end of stroke sensing, press force monitoring and control, interchangeable tooling, slide table, and multiple frame sizes.
Schmidt has also developed extremely capable press control systems to complement each press that they offer. Press operations can be monitored and controlled by Schmidt's PressControl 600 which dynamically monitors press force and displacement while giving the flexibility to stop the press stoke if parameters are not correct. This type of control ensures that final assemblies are correct every time improving process quality. Schmidt's PressControl 75 provides simple yet capable control of any electric, pneumatic, or hydro-pneumatic press while maintaining the highest level of redundant safety controls of the operation. Schmidt's PressControl 5000 can tackle the most demanding press control applications while giving rich, HMI feedback. Last, Schmidt provides a comprehensive assortment of software and database tools for documenting the press results into any quality management system.
For all of these reasons, M6 Revolutions is excited to partner with yet another industry leader. Schmidt Technology's product mix is ideal for many manufacturing industries existing in the Northwest including Aerospace Manufacturing, Electronics Manufacturing, Medical Device Manufacturing, and many other major industries. Application examples include pin press, rivet press, flaring press, swaging press, coining press, compliant pin press, staking press, ballizing press, forming press, bending press, marking press, and punching press operations.
Which Schmidt press fits the job? (updated 2026)
The force the joint needs, and whether every cycle has to be recorded, decide which Schmidt family fits. Here is how the current range lines up.
Manual rack-and-pinion presses (about 1.6 to 2.5 kN): constant force through the whole stroke, for bench press-fitting and seating where the operator's feel matters.
Manual toggle presses (2.5 to 22 kN): force builds sharply at the bottom of the stroke, for short, powerful finishing strokes such as staking.
Pneumatic presses (1.6 to 60 kN): direct-acting for constant force over the stroke, or toggle for peak force at the end, at production cycle rates.
Hydro-pneumatic presses (15 to 220 kN): production force for riveting, forming, and heavier joining without a hydraulic system to maintain.
Electric presses (4 to 20 kN): no compressed air or hydraulics and smooth at slow speed, for PLC-controlled lines.
Servo presses (0.3 to 250 kN): programmable force and position with a stored recipe for each part, for processes that have to be controlled and documented.
Most families come in force-and-stroke monitored versions. PressControl records force against stroke on every cycle and flags a bad joint as it is made, which is the record medical and aerospace audits ask for.
