#80P introduced in 1992

The wrench has a linearin/out motion and the Panel Flattener cylinders are mounted behind and below the carriage. The clamp rest slides in and out and the carriage track is stationary.

This machine is the same as the #80P, except it is powered by hydraulics making it quieter and faster.

#80X introduced in 2000

The hydraulic system incorporates a proportional valve controlled by the programmable controller. The controller monitors and measures machine outputs, creating a self-calibrating machine. The unit also comes with “Smart Clamp” software for posting production, diagnostic, and downtime reports.

This machine is similar to the 80X, yet incorporates a sliding track for the tightener carriage and more open design for better maintenance.
