DR3K & MP1K
We developed the DR3K in 2021 around three priorities: speed, operator comfort, and a lasting steel foundation. The MP1K brings that same approach to a compact desktop machine.
DR3K — a substantial glove-work station
A 150-pound machine with a large working area, foot-pedal control, and adjustable lighting for hands-on glove work.
MP1K — compact size, serious construction
A 100-pound desktop machine with fast pneumatic action and lower air requirements than the DR3K.
Speed &
control
Fast pneumatic action. Responsive electric control.
The foot pedal sends an electrical signal to the air valves. Those valves control airflow into and out of the cylinder, rather than routing the cylinder’s working air through the pedal.
Adjustable air pressure lets you vary the applied force. Foot-pedal operation keeps your hands available to position the glove, while adjustable lighting helps you see where you’re working.
When glove work is part of your business, operator time matters.
Built for the
long haul
A fully welded steel foundation, built to outlast the bolt-on components.
DR3K: 150 pounds. Its frame uses 3 × 3-inch steel tubing with 3/16-inch walls.
MP1K: 100 pounds. Its frame uses boxed, fully welded 3/16-inch steel plate.
Both machines mount the pneumatic cylinder on 3/8-inch steel plate, boxed with 3/16-inch steel sides.
The working components can be replaced as they wear. Keep the steel foundation and keep the machine working for the long haul.
