T-Rex
Introducing the PLT-Rex
The green metal-locking machine that's ready to take a dinosaur-sized bite out of your operating times and expenses, and put the savings right back into your wallet.
With a no-tool five-second setup, this cutting-edge innovation ensures maximum efficiency. Boasting an impressive 100+ cycles per minute, the PLT-REX is designed to optimize productivity. Its large jaw opening and customizable bite options cater to various workpieces, while its capability to join mild steel, copper, aluminum, stainless steel, and more, using clinching or self-piercing rivets, ensures versatility.
What sets the PLT-REX apart is its eco-conscious design – it runs on 90 psi shop air and consumes less than 45W to run the precision controls, with no need for hydraulic oil, making it an environmentally-friendly choice.
