WHAT IS A TOGGLE PRESS?

A toggle press is a metal fabrication tool used to bend or indent metal stock or sheets. Rather than using electrical power, a toggle press relies upon pneumatic power to exert force through a series of strategically placed levers.

The mechanism consists of toggle lever connected to a secondary toggle, which manipulates the compressing piston by pressing it downward into flat material fastened to the press table. The use of toggles significantly increases the pressure placed on the material by multiplying the force. As such, toggle presses often exceed the available force of other common bending methods such as hammer striking. Incorporating pneumatics into the system enables an exponential increase in available force, significantly increasing pressure while reducing manual strain on operators.
