ATOM Swing Arm Clicker Presses are the most widely used die cutting machines in the world. ATOM has over 65 years of experience manufacturing clicker presses, and with thousands of machines sold, is considered the world’s leading producer. The constant attention to customer’s feedback has allowed them to produce a product able to satisfy the needs of reliability, productivity & energy savings.
The ATOM Clicker Press is the ideal solution for die cutting sheets of material with small cutting dies. To guarantee maximum visibility of the material, the swing beam can be easily moved left-right by the operator in order to collect the die cut pieces and re-position the tool for the next cut. The ATOM press is quite simple to operate; simply place the sheet of material onto the cutting pad attached to the base of press, position the tool, cycle the two-hand push button controls (3/10 second delay for optimal safety) & the beam descends under hydraulic pressure, cuts the shape, and returns to the desired height setting. The ATOM clicker presses are most commonly used for cutting leather & footwear, gaskets, foam & rubber, plastics, textiles and similar materials.
The main features to consider while evaluating a swing arm clicker press are:
- Structural features, such as the cutting power, size of the cutting table and of the cutting platen.
- Control systems such as the power setting, the fine tuning of the stroke end, and the devices that make the arm easier to move.
ATOM produces three lines of swing beam clicker presses:
SE Series: ATOM SE Series clicker press equipped with automatic stroke end setting, designed for different height cutting dies without the need for adjustment and control push buttons with built in devices for 3/10 second maximum delay operation to insure operator safety. These presses range from 8-25 tons of cutting force with bed sizes up to 20″ x 40″ and head sizes up to 24″ in width.
S100 Series: Three different cutting pressures to accommodate dies having different height and cutting rule development quickly & easily.
Multi-force Series: The multi-force system sets the cutting pressure automatically to maximize the ease of use and reduce the consumption of the cutting pad up to 50%. The light-swing system ensures the maximum ergonomics, to lower operator fatigue. The Multi-Force Clicker Presses range in cutting powers from 20-25 tons with bed sizes up to 20″ x 48″ & head sizes up to 24” in width.
